Re: 1957 chevy family truck
I think you're doing a real nice job.
Gives me the incentive and courage to paint mine when I get to that stage. Kim |

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
so sadly I'm at a stand still I ordered some stainless steel button bots for the rear fenders and tail light section. I am going to do my wire all over but I'm torn between 21 circuit or 12 circuit. I don't have power windows or door locks. I may put a alarm down the road and I am defiantly putting in a small system. any suggestions guys. I see a lot of you guys run 21 circuit but most of you have the super nice dashes and all the bells and whistles. (my dash is stock)

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
Damn that looks good. As far as wiring goes, I used the 9 + 3 kit from Rebel Wire to wire my entire truck. I have everything hooked up and still have 3 open circuits for a stereo, and it was under $300 shipped to my door in Canada
