Re: My Blue 1957 build
Damn 55 year old rivets put up a hell of a fight, but after suffering only a smashed finger..... i won!!!! Figured the front end is all new i may as well do the rear all new. I installed the TCI leaf kit with all new hardware. I will put up pictures in a bit.

Re: My Blue 1957 build
Well, been a few weeks since i have been on here. Decided to send it into a shop to get some work done. Past couple days have been long ones getting the motor back together and getting the drivetrain back together. Installed TCI's booster bracket and CPP's mater cyclinder and brake booster.

Re: My Blue 1957 build
I havent been on here for a bit, but truck is in shop and some progress has been made. Decided to install some a/c mounts in the dash. Changed out fuel tank, i like it better then the bolt and go setup. Bigger tank and not crowding the rear end. Fuel lines have been ran, new motor wiring harness is in.
      Battery access panel is for a 1954 ford. Easy access to battery terminal as well as a drop down bracket |
