The interior will be all black. Bucket seats and a custom center counsel. Chrome tilt Ididit column with a billet specialties steering wheel. digital gauges and vintage air A/C.

Be careful what you wish for. This project started out much simpler many years ago.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Thank you Brad for the nice comment.

I got it in August but sent it out for rewiring which took forever. Put a new fuse panel and wired from EZ Wiring, all new gauges, the lights are actually bright, the signals work, emergency flashers (!) and stuff like a real truck, ha ha ha!

I;ve got lots to do on it, but I tell myself, "I'm pacing myself". I plan on posting here until I get tossed for being a non '47-'59.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

ssons, That truck looks cool. Do you have a clearer shot of those rims? Were they Torque Thrusts?

My dad drove me around in his '59 long bed fleetside the whole time I was a kid. He swapped in a 283 for the straight six, and later a 348. It was a screamer too.

She sits in my garage, sandblasted, for the past 20 years. Hope to start working on her this winter........

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Acquired my 1947 Chevy from my Grandfather who bought it new... Got it home about two months ago and working on getting it running. I think I have my work cut out! Always open for suggestions, advice and information. Thanks.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Oh yeah, it's a tree. It was a good 3 or so inches in diameter coming right up between the cab and the bed. Crazy! It was a persistent little booger too. Took about an hour or so to cut it out.
