Re: My long term 57 project
Where did you find your hood latch assy that was chromed? Or did you have it chromed? I can fined the single latch itself but not the top rail portion that goes fender to fender across the top over the radiator like you have. Can you advise?

Re: My long term 57 project
What are your wheel and tire specs? Just got some wheel vintique 37 series 15x10's for the rear and some fat bfg's. The wheel and tire combo look similar to yours. On mine, im running a heidts suspension and not quite sure if I'll need to C-notch it yet.
Your stance looks about perfect, did you c-notch the frame? Great looking project, keep it up. |

Re: My long term 57 project
Jamie, I didn't C-notch the frame. The rear end housing is 3in below the frame rail. It comes very close to bottoming out if you bounce up and down on the bumper.
My rear wheels are 16x10 with 4in back spacing The BFG's are 285/60R16. If I had the 15x10 I would go with a 295/50 for more width. Just for your info my rear end measure's 57 1/4in flange to flange.

Re: My long term 57 project
Thanks for the compliments Tanman and Woodbutcher! Not much happening with her lately as I'm half way through my 120 day deployment! Can't wait to get back home, charge the battery and spin the tires!!

Re: My long term 57 project
Love those rims and next one I do, I'm going to put that dash, or one very similar to it, in my next truck. Nice clean engine compartment. Are you going to leave it rat rod or keep on keeping on!

Re: My long term 57 project
Thanks again for all the compliments. I do enjoy driving it a lot! Right now I don't plan on painting it. Just going to leave it like it is and enjoy it. I might put something on the doors, like an old garage, towing company logo or something. Any suggestions??
Next on my list is to get the rear tubs installed and some old bed wood!
