Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Thank you all!
It is finished now and Wow, what a difference in sound!! Now I can hear my music when driving 70 mph ![]() Sorry for the crappy pics... Pic #1 back of the cab in sounddeadener Pic #2 hardly to see, but I had to sew the middle of the carpet together. There was a bubble which I had to cut out over the transtunnel. I used Nylon thread and a bent needle, for leather or denim. Pic #3 temporarely speakers behind the bench... Pic #4 all finished ![]()

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Hey Kees. That carpet looks great in there. How did you get your padding to fit the floor? Looks like you cut it for a right hand drive. You did a really nice job of it. Happy driving to you. Great show pictures too.
Earl

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Looking good Kees! glad you had a great time in the States and I'm surprised you didn't buy another car
![]() Unfortunatly I won't make it tomorrow for the Kings Cruise, and next week I'm off to the Isle of Man TT races, so it'll be the 9th of June before we meet at a meet.

![]() Steve, I also wasn’t at the King Cruise this time, having trouble with the CV in the truck. Now I have a completely new wiring from inside the doors to the unit and still isn’t working right. I blame the unit. Time for a new set..... I didn’t bought a “new” car simply because I don’t have the money ![]() Still looking for a ‘57 Wagon tho...

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Wow... the bike in it's original state would be something I'd set on fire just for fun..but what a change a few subtle mods make! amazing, really really cool.
did you do the saddle yourself?

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
I had a little trouble with the airride, I had a leak in one valve.
But as I used to work on big trucks, those valves are repairable and so I did. Also, I wanted an extra gauge for tank pressure, also wanted some other switches what looked more old school. Last week I have built a new panel with extra gauge and “old” switches, looks much better now. I had also a leaking pinion seal, that was my own fault. I drove through a just mowed grass field and the lying grass killed my seal.... That’s whats happen to lowered vehicles ![]() Jaguar has them no longer in stock, so I had to order an aftermarket seal. It’s in now and last Saturday we did test it all. My wife and I drove 270 km (almost 168 mile) just to see some Hot Rods and streetmachines ![]() ![]() The truck did stand the test! Coming Thursday we go to France with a bunch of our club, there is a festival called Cry Baby, only pre ‘65 and a lot of Rockabilly music. Gonna be fun!! Now for some pics. Pic #1. The pinion seal with what I took out the seal.... Pic #2. The old dash with airswitches Pic #3. New panel with the “old school” switches and extra pressure gauge Pic #4. The new look

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Oh forgot, also had to repair the central looking system.
The doormotors went bad, or at least one of them. After mounting a new one, it did not work like I wanted it, so I rewired the whole central looking system and put in a new unit. Now it works perfect again ![]() The carshow last Saturday: Part 1

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
Long time since I posted some....
End of June we went to Cry Baby, a vintage carshow in the north of France. Going with two cars, and back with four, all clubmembers. This was one of the best shows in years!! Pics on my Facebook for who is interested, there are lot of pics! Also check YouTube for movies about Cry Baby Vintage Carshow #7, I know you will like it!! Then, if you remembered, I was looking for a ‘57 Chevy Wagon....I found one ![]() ![]() Had the truck for sale, but only recently I advertised with it. Sold it in four weeks time ![]() Sorry about that ![]() Now I’m going to build my pre-Born dream ![]() By building this truck, this dream suddenly becomes reality.... So now I am the happy owner of a 1957 Chevrolet 4-door Townsman 210 Wagon with Bel Air trim ![]() Ofcourse there are some things that have to be done to this car, it’s 62 years old! But overall it is a solid car for its age. I post some pics when we got it. We, Sander (63Split on here) going to get it tomorrow, a little Roadtrip to Belgium, in style! Stay tuned!
