Re: 1957 chevy family truck
I bought new clips for the stainless around the door and back of the cab bad/good idea. some fit some don't. back fit but I didn't the crud out of the drivers side and a nice ding on the passenger side because the new clips are to long. lesson learned

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
Hey WHAT A BEAUTY SHE'S GORGEOUS!!! WOW!! Did you get your back glass yet? I got my windshield from SafeLite Auto Glass (855) 225-3509 they probably can get your rear glass. My wife and I installed my back window because it's a small window and it was easier to tackle. SafeLite charged me $297.63 for everything (coming out to my house, the glass & rubber and install.) http://www.safelite.com

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
I really like what you did with your mirror that's so kool. Yeah I went to Lowes and the same stuff for the floor it works gr8. I started out with the Reflectix Reflective Insulation but than a friend of mine told about the self adhesive insulation and did the rest of the floor in that.

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
no I still need a rear window. only local one is used (scratched) but cant beat the price its hour away from me hoping my brother will pick it up for me but waiting to see. on line its close to $400 with shipping. i'll check out safelite thank you. yeah mirror was a different idea. thought I would change it up. used a corvette bracket but stock mirror.

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
Hey thanks for stopping by my page. I am so sorry to hear about your dad, that is rough I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. I will keep him and you and yours in my prayers. I know he is just filled with pride with you and your brothers, you guys have done some gr8 work with his truck.
That picture on your profile page of you and your siblings with the truck in the back ground is priceless.
