Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Got the bed rear fenders and steps on, modified the ends of the bed no filler on yet but don't need much. Also welded the cover on tailgate couldn't locate my camera had to use my phone for pictures.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Did you ever get a good size tire combo that fit your truck?

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Decided to change color on the rally wheels figured the 2 inch whitewalls wouldn't look good against the silver rims

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Started to work on my 1989 seat the seat foam was really bad, found a new lower seat foam for cheap $39 list price at GM parts house for $235. Will post the cover install after I get the seat frame sent to sand blaster and may get it powder coat.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
The seat foam was $39 dollars. I finished the top portion of the seat today I changed to cloth it is to hot now that I have moved back to Arizona for leather plus it is a driver.
