Re: Dutch 1955 build
Very nice work. It looks good. I wish I would have ran a rear bumper but with my frame set up there was no good way to attach one. Keep it up.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
The only thing about this build that sucks is that one day it will be done and then there we be no more cool pictures of the neat metal work to look at.Very nice fab work it's nice to be able to see your skills with metal,keep the photos coming.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
tonight i have been working on the tailgate
straightened it out and removed some dents and rust spots we had bought a repro tailgate (luckily at a vendor over here and not in the usa) but it had the chevy script pressed in diagonal ![]() ![]() went back to to get a correct replacement cecked out 3 other he had but all where croocked so ended up leaving without one ![]() also did some upgrade on the tailgate hinges because i didnt liked the stock hinges with to much play in them I have put in 2 ball bearings (6202) and put one hollow shaft through over the full lenght and threaded both side of the hollow shaft for two 1/2 ich bolts with 3/8 inch thread in them for attachment to the bed ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() now it moves freely and has zerro play |

You are spoiling us. Pictures ever day and loving it. The problem will arise when you do not post every day. What to look forward to then?
