Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
Well the door handles look stock. But they are not. The 48 had twist down door handles. We changed it to the push button 1954 models. But since we are using Modern Gm latches, we needed an electric handle. So we took these stock handles, found a switches to fit inside machined a new push button to that was shorter. So now the stock handles are electric. They can be turned off and on with the ISIS system. No need for locking mechanism. But the interior handle is still mechanical.
![]() Here is what a lengthened door that is done to look stock would look like. This door has been sectioned 1.75", it has been lengthened 3", and the top was chopped 1.5". it took 4 doors to be able to make each door and have all the factory seams line up to look OEM. ![]() ![]() Back when it was bare metal. ![]() ![]() |

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
Amazing. That's a quality build. Imagine the guy that finds this truck in a barn covered up in 60 years. You guys are on top of your game keep up the great work. Did you guys install the front and rear suspension. If so what were your thoughts on the kits. Have fun building.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
I did not plan to get into the hood hinge business. I was more surprised to find nobody made any for that truck so we just had to make them. We made these hinges by hand and did not set up for production.

Awesome build, I love all the small details that make you stare at the truck until you figure out what was done.
