Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Kabwe - Really appreciate your ideas and knowledge on fabbing things together. I was struggling with the Autoloc (directionless) door latches with my 57 and found your ideas and pics. Saved myself a whole lot of trouble by doing it your way. What a great idea of flipping the assembly around to fit the door popper and power locks too into the rear 1/4- which is just wasted space anyway!

I think the Autoloc product is good, but they need to do an INSTALL and make a video for the 55-59 trucks, 'cause with the window track in the way, there isnt much room to put them in.

Thanks again for your help and GENIUS!!!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
So after all the blocking, blocking and more blocking I have some color. It came out pretty nice.






Now its time to install the engine and trans and wire it up.

I also got some goody's for the truck. I went with the Dakota Digital VHX 55-56 Belair gauges.



I'm still chipping away little by little lately.

Standard bearclaw latches. I had this installed like in the pic by PTC until I decided that I wanted to put my fuse box in the cab corner instead of under the dash (way to crowded under there with the pcm). So I re installed them the standard way.

Very nicely done sir. Looks like all the filling and sanding does pay off, hope mine turns out close to that good.

Truck looks great. I'm glad to see you posting again as your thread was one of the first one's I found when I got my truck about six years ago, and missed it while you were gone.
