Re: my 1955 chevy truck

Really dig'n the way this is turning out.

Nothing like a BBW/fleet side slammed to the floor with massive rollers!!!

Great job so far.

***BTW - Glad you lost those "alternative" wheels you'd been rolling on ....

Re: my 1955 chevy truck

Looks righteous ... now I can say it: Glad you lost those chrome DUB wheels ... they did not go with your build. The solids do & the entire truck looks fantastic.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck

Killer build man. It's a lot like mine - 55/56 front sheetmetal, bbw cab, fleetside apache bed. I want to run the centerline smoothies, so it's even close there. Yours is way closer than mine though Love the way it's turning out and them back wheels... sweet.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck

Man, awesome build and progress. Sorry if these questions were answered.. What wood did you use for the bed? Plans for paint or leaving it?

Re: my 1955 chevy truck

Do you have a dimension from front of rocker to the ground when at ride height? Just curious how it looks when aired up.
