Re: 1957 chevy family truck

I think the same color wheel as your truck will look good. Then again I think a wheel barrow wheel will look good on your truck lol

Re: 1957 chevy family truck

Really nice looking truck. Well done!

BTW, is that steering wheel 15" and did you paint it?

Re: 1957 chevy family truck

what did you do to get the front clip that low? was it just dropped spindles or a mix of spindles and coils?

Re: 1957 chevy family truck

How many coils did you cut? I love how low it is but would be to low for where I live. I'm going to be welding in a nova clip the luxblue way this winter and selling off my dropped axle front end parts.
