That is a really nice truck. Great job and I am jealous that I will not get to drive mine for another year.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Tim you did a GREAT job, I like your truck.

Now you have to drive it for the next 50 years!!

I ended up changing my front springs 3 times, and I think softer is better for me as I drive it every day.
What is next !!!

here are a couple engine shots and a crappy interior shot. I have done some work to it since this photo, I run the tom tom for my speedo at the moment, eventually I'll get the cable x for the electronic to analog sender.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

I finally got the interior done and the rear windows installed. Hood, tailgate and bumpers are all that's left to do.

Wow, looking good!

Did you do the interior on your own or did you take it somewhere?
(looking for good interior people near LA)

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

I wish my "junk" looked that good. I have quite a way to go before I get to the body work I like both trucks I have always liked the early 60s Chevy too.

What size tires and wheels you running? Look's like my truck just without spinners. I saw your truck somewhere else but, the pictures went blurry when I enlarged them... glad to finally see a good picture of it. Super looking truck, awesome patina.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

My latest DD and a work in progress. Truck is basically stock, 235 which will stay with plans to add an hei, Fenton splits and something better then the Rochester in the future. I installed a S10 5 speed but need to pull shortly for a rebuild due to bearing noise. I have rewired it with a new harness and replaced the front bearings with tapered rollers. PO was not very mechanically inclined so had to fix a lot of mickey mouse items.
