Back to the fifties with a 59 project - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Have to order the rest of,the front suspension before i continue there . So i decided to take the bed off and at least start cleaning it up. Got to find me a rearend to use also.

Hubscrub · 04-22-2020, 07:25 PM

Been working on patch panels on the wife's 67 but had to wait on parts. So I decided to take the rear end out and do some wire wheeling.

Nice! That wire Wheeling can make a heck of a mess.

72 tigger · 05-01-2020, 09:52 PM

Looks like a nice project- following along. I was in AZ on a mission trip this past February and snapped a couple of pics of this 59?

Hubscrub · 08-26-2021, 06:13 AM

I'm still here I don't have to tell you the mess the world's been in last year or so, but I've been working 6,7 days a week for most of the last year or so. I think some relief is on the way so hopefully I can get some family and garage time in. I did manage to order me a Mustang 2 front end kit.

Hubscrub · 09-03-2021, 10:18 AM

Got the lower a arm braces, spacers welded on.

72 tigger · 09-04-2021, 03:15 AM

Good to see your progress!

jjzepplin · 09-06-2021, 11:35 AM

That looks nice!

Hubscrub · 09-07-2021, 07:55 PM

Got the cross member and upper hats lightly tacked in.

Hubscrub · 11-01-2021, 07:13 PM

Almost fully welded in except bottom, got to figure out the c notch for the steering rack next.

Hubscrub · 12-06-2021, 07:47 PM

Been working on other stuff and trying to clean and organize the shop. But I have started the c notch for the steering rack .

Hubscrub · 12-14-2021, 07:55 PM

Got the clearance for the rack. More grinding to clean up and I will weld some plates over the holes and got to fill the c notch.

Looks like you're on your way! Removing that whole front crossmember is an option now, you can tie the fronts together using the holes left over from removing the front leaf mounts

Hubscrub · 02-22-2022, 09:38 PM

Since the front crossmember is mostly done, I was going to remove the cab to make it easy to flip the frame around to weld the bottom and clean it etc. But I decided to attack the major parts of the cab that need rust repair, while it's still mounted on the frame and at a decent height.So I've been working on the driver step and got it removed. The inner cab corner need some work as well as the outer.

Thanks for looking in, that has crossed my mind.

dsraven · 02-23-2022, 01:08 AM

I really suggest you hang your door, adjust it to fit the opening in the cab, not considering the fender just the cab, then weld in an X brace inside across the door opening. That will make sure the door still fits after all the parts are cut out and new stuff is welded in.

dsraven · 02-23-2022, 01:09 AM

Forgot to say the door can be taken off after the X brace is in place.

Hubscrub · 08-25-2022, 08:04 PM

Got the driver side done (except minor things). Just a quick prime job and cut out my temporary bracing cleaned up,on to the other side.

Hubscrub · 08-25-2022, 08:11 PM

Also picked me up a camaro rearend few weeks ago been cleaning on it to.

Hubscrub · 08-25-2022, 08:17 PM

Well the passenger side begins. Same as other inner and outer cab corner, rocker and step and some misc. patches. The corner was stuffed with junk and and a bunch of nails.

Hubscrub · 08-25-2022, 08:27 PM

Found this Armstrong vinyl flooring sample behind the gas tank. Far out!

**joedoh** · 08-25-2022, 10:34 PM

outstanding!

Hubscrub · 09-06-2022, 09:09 AM

Got passenger side fitted and tacked.
