Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
No problem. Enjoy the trip to the dark side. I have been working on mine for a year and a half and hope to have it on the road by the end of the summer.

I was planning on selling my 68 C20 once the F1 is on the road. Then my son decided he wanted an older truck to do projects on so a deal has been struck and the C20 will stay in the family.

Getting a little more done, front new fenders mounted and have to tweak things around a little but not to bad!

looks good. Hope you have better luck with the new fenders then i did. Body line was off about an inch and headlight bezel fit was horrible. I ended up patching and straightening the ones i had.

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Thanks guys,

Got the hood on for a fit with the fenders, I tried the headlamp bezels and trim rings and all fits like a glove!

Been cleaning up and repainting the heater box. Tire tools & jack.

re-chrome the original hood and fender emblems and repaint the badge.

Longbike,

If you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase your fenders from? They look real nice. Nice build going on!

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Thanks 57, yours is going great as well!

I cant remember the makers name, the guy I have painting the truck got them from a friend thats local.
I dont know if you can tell but look at the box under these parts, its the fender box.
