Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Thanks! We picked it up at a vendor at Street Rod Nats in Louisville a while back along with other lights for the bed tubes and front turn signals. All are recessed and LED. With new LED tail lights, there should be plenty lights in the rear for people to see me from behind.
We also got the 5.3, radiator and new trans in place, bed wood stained and ready for installation in the new bed box. Waiting on new rear fenders to arrive for prep and paint. /Ken

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Stopped by today for my weekly status check...
The bed has been finished and assembled, still waiting on new rear fenders to replace originals that needed too much body work to justify the repair costs. Got the front bumper installed Ordered the Vintage Air "Front Runner" system for the engine.

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Looks great! Did you end up going with the TMI seats (looks like). How do they feel/sit?
Cheers, Jim |

I'm told the body shop had no issues putting them in with new weather stripping too. Hoping to get it out before winter sets in here in KY. ![]() /Ken

Re: '57 Stepside, Big Window Project
Dang dude, it's been a CRAZY year... seems like just last week when I was talking about all this. Everything is still waiting patiently in the garage. We've had one of the hottest summers in history this year so the garage was not somewhere I wanted to be. I had enuf heat in '90-'91 to last a lifetime. It's finally cooling off and I'm planning on getting the camaro finished and out of the way. Then, it's back on the '57. Thanks for the nudge!!! Ken
