Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Thanks again!!
Managed to do a little on the truck today. One small step in the right direction, I'm getting there ![]() I have made a little dash for extra gauges, I like to know what the engine is doin' ![]() Bolted it onto the dash and looked what the best angle is to mount it. This is with a 90 degree bent: This is bolted so, that it follows the line of the columnmount. Hope you see the difference: I think I'm going with the last one. A few more, just because ![]() This part is going to be gloss black, as the rest of the interior.

Small update: Got my newly made steering hoses mounted, steeringpump bolted on, belts are on, and the header bolted on (I hope for the last time ![]() Next is re-routing the brakelines to the mastercilinder.

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Kee's - this is looking really good man! congrats on the progress.
For the dash - you might want to run that bottom 'skirt' on both sides of the wheel. Your gauges would fit right into it and look really clean. and I see some more pinstriping on it too!!! ![]()

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Thanks Mark and PTC!
I thought about doin' the whole dashbottom, but what you say, I have a glovebox... Have to think about how I go around it and is nice to look at. Tonight a few hours making a puzzle for the electric fans. Have to make threads on the long bars, weld brackets on it, weld a few brackets on the radiatorbrackets and I'm done ![]() ![]() Only thing is, these are a bit too wide, they are 12", so they're cooling the sidetanks also ![]() But hey, cooling is very important, isn't it??

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Did some small things that took a lot of time...
First I welded the fan bracket: I also got the Central locking system working ![]() I bolted the actuators under the latch between the sheetmetal and the windowrail. I took some parts home to get it painted: For the keyless entry I have a remote with a flipkey in it. I changed the keybeard (for Volkswagen and Audi) for my ingnition key. I don't have the keys for the doorlocks, so I'm counting on the remotes ![]() I will put an emergencybutton under the hood for if the remotes don't work ![]() Also, I got my brakelines re-routed to the MC, that's done and ready to bleed the brakes. Made a bracket for the tach, I mount this on the column, also ready. Next time when I'm at the Hot Rod Shed, I will begin with the doors, make them ready for paint. I'm getting there!!

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Thanks Doug!
I have to be creative without normal locks. This will work (I hope). I just read about Classic 1st Timer about his stolen '55 TF. It could happen here also, so everything to keep the thieves out ![]()

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Sometimes things take forever, but your happy in the end. All you can do is make it a pain in the A$$ to steel. Nice fan bracket.

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Had a few hours in the Hot Rod shed and got the passenger door primered.
Finally.... And only the inside that is ![]() I also went from floorshift to steering columnshift, so I have to make a new shifter rod. OrrieG gave me the great tip on the measurements of the Chevy linkage: Quote:
At home I will make this rod in stainless steel. Maybe this afternoon, it will be the last thing I do this year.... ![]()
