Re: My 57 Pro Street
I seen a bed close to your's on a truck on e-bay. Did you see it? It was red and chopped and really nice. I think it was in Dallas.

It's a work in progress that keeps changing as I go along in the build. I pretty much have it the way I want it now and just have to do a little finish welding and then get it primed. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Thought I would post some updates on what I have been doing to my truck.
Pic #1 is a hydroboost unit out of an 05 chevy truck. The next 4 pics show a bracket I made to mount the unit on the frame. The bracket will mount just under the back of the cab witch will put the hydroboost and the master cylinder behind the cab for easy access. I will connect it to the brake pedal with some DOM tube.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
These next 2 pics show the finished bracket and unit bolted to it.
I had to modify the mounting flange that was on the unit to work with my bracket. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I also had to modify the push rod on the unit so it would attach to the pedal.
I cut the end off the push rod and rounded it off. I got a 3/8x24 grade 8 bolt and some 3/8 ID DOM tube. I cut the head off the bolt and rounded that end also. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Nice mod on the hydroboost. Is that the total length of the rod you're going to use? I'm asking cause I have mine to do once I get the frame work done, but I'm thinking that the rod will need to be longer on mine.

There will be a piece of DOM approximately 30" long connecting the pedal to the hydroboost unit. It will have a threaded insert welded into each end. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I did some work on the doors.
The driver door was missing two of the nuts on the top bracket. I cut an access hole in the jamb so I could weld some new ones in. |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Time for some more up-dates.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my dash after seeing what some of the other guys here were doing. I had already smoothed the entire dash and removed the opening for insturment cluster. As I couldn't find a layout for the insturment cluster that I liked with the hump I decided to remove it. I have to give a big thanks to Kabwe for making this possible. I met him at the Brothers show this year and he was kind enough to supply me with the dash out of his truck. These first pics are of what I had previously done to the dash. |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
These next pics show the cut out and the donor dash.
I cut a section from it that fit where my hump was and welded it in. |
