Re: My 56 build
Interior is almost done. Just have to make some stainless trim for the edge of the step/carpet. Some pictures of the progress. Door panels came out nice. The plan is to get the seats redone over winter. They’ll match the door panels then. So this is it for cruising season. I’m really happy with how everything is turning out.

Re: My 56 build
Took the truck to the gas station for the first time. I’m up to 50 miles on the odometer now and everything is working well. Just have to figure out why the cruise control doesn’t work. I’ve got a good idea why. I’ll figure it out. A few more pictures and a link to a video of the interior:

Re: My 56 build
Very creative and fits the rest of the truck. Probably feels great putting some miles on it. Enjoy it. Steve

Re: My 56 build
Almost up to 150 miles now. I’ve been working out bugs. Lots of small things but time consuming. Adjusted the MAF to compensate for the increased airflow. Runs really good. Made some stainless trim to frame the steps. Just need to do a little TIG welding to finish those. Covered the steps with some 3M clear protectant. Had to raise the front. It has settled quite a bit since I started driving. Also had to clearance my hose bracket under the right fender. Have an alignment and ac charge scheduled for July 26th. Then the serious cruising begins

Re: My 56 build
Glad to see you are getting some miles on it and working on debugging. I am just starting this process on mine. Steve

Re: My 56 build
Thanks Steve. It sure is nice to drive it. Enjoy yours, you’ll get it dialed in.

The sky was amazing this evening after sunset. Couldn’t help but pull out the truck and snap a few pictures.

Re: My 56 build
I have about 500 miles on the odometer now. Still working out bugs. It’s been aligned and the AC is now working. So I kept the stock 2016 pump and modified it to the vintage air system. It works great! Made it to my first cruise. Was lots of fun. Another planned for next weekend. Rescued a dog so I had to make a seat for another passenger. She loves to cruise with the wife and I. She appears to like her new hot rod. She came from Detroit, so that makes sense

Went to my first show yesterday. Just a small local show, but a lot of fun! Truck shows well. Attracts a crowd for sure. Took best of show.

Re: My 56 build
Definitely enjoying the fruits of your labor.

If your like me, before I jump in and go for a ride in mine, my stomach gets into this pre-drive excitement. I still get the feeling after 10 years now.

Congrats, Jim.
