Re: My 56 build
Managed to finish up the drivers door. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Should only require a thin skim coat of filler. Now to finish the passengers door.

Re: My 56 build
Thanks! I’m planning on using the same rear logo you have on your tailgate. I think it looks great on your truck.

Re: My 56 build
Spent some more time on the box today. Finished welding and grinding the box sides, then mocked it up to lay out the mini tubs. Only fender I was happy with is galvanized. I’ve had zinc poisoning in the past welding galvanized metal. I’m going to grind off the coating near the areas to be welded. Well see

Re: My 56 build
Managed to get my mini tubs and hidden latches done today. Just have some rust repair to do on the front part of the fenders. Then the box should only need minor things addressed!

Re: My 56 build
I just read through your whole build. You are doing a great job! That's some serious rust repair you did but it turned out great! How do you install your tailgate with the bung mounted to both box sides? I'm planning to get those same tailgate latches. Keep posting, I'll be following your build

Re: My 56 build
Worked on the rear fenders today. I’m hoping this is going to be my last rust repair on the truck. Turned out well so far. I have to finish the left side yet. Probably this weekend.

Re: My 56 build
I forgot to post these pictures earlier. I removed the drip rail in late December.

Re: My 56 build
Make sure to run the suspension through a full stroke to make sure nothing hits.
Looks good. Use what you got for tools. |

Re: My 56 build
Spent a few more hours in the garage today. Made metal brackets that mount on the firewall to hold the inner fender. Finished the left side and started on the right. Think I must of installed and removed that fender 20 times to get it right!

Re: My 56 build
Finished the right side inner fender today. Came out nice! Was more work than I expected, but most everything I do is like that
