Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
One of my projects this week was to figure out what to do for a rear bumper. I like the look of a rear bumper but I dont have a rear for this truck so I was hoping to make something work that I already had. I have several old cars in the backyard, and I liked the look of a 53 Chev car rear bumper that was already off of the car. I brought it into the shop and started cutting it up, hoping I would like the results! This is what i started with. At first I was hoping to use the bumper guards but I had to mount the bumper very low so that the tailgate would'nt hit them when in the open position so I scrapped that plan

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Nice custom touch....Are you going to have it chromed or paint it?

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Thanks guys for the comments! I would like to have the bumper chromed eventually but I will paint it for now. I'm doing the body work on the whole truck nice enough for shiny paint, but I'm doing the truck in Flat black for now. My plan is to drive the truck a year or two to work out all the bugs and then paint it. I want this to be a daily driver/shop truck that I can use as a truck so I may never paint it shiny! The cab got painted yesterday

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
I also got my dash painted. I used PPG's Ditzler Hot Rod black on the truck, seemed to go on smooth with little streaking. I have found some flat blacks to be very difficult to apply without streaks.

I got my dash painted and installed. Also put in my new Dakota digital RTX gauges to see how they look in the dash

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
I was trying to figure out how to latch my tailgate this week. I wanted a hidden latch so I went to Lowes to see what I could find. This is what I bought.

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Wow that reshaped rear end looks really good. It all has a nice flow to it. I dig the reshaped rear bumper. The fitment on that hitch is sweet. It disappears.
Thanks Marc

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
Here is a pic of the gas filler lid I built. I don’t really like a filler in the bed but it was the simplist solution. I thought if it had to be in the bed I wanted something different than ones I’d seen before

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev
I haven’t been on here in a while but I did actually get my truck done (well almost), and have put about 7k miles on it already. I built a matching teardrop trailer that I pull behind it
