Looks good! Have you done any work to your fenders yet? I have some questions like is the brace supposed to make contact with the fender in the front? My fender is bowed there and it is not....

Thanks 1Bad62Pro/Street. Well the tail lites I am going to keep the same. I really like what you got in mind for your tail lights but with my bumper I gotta keep it simple. I believe once I get the truck a little lower on all for corners and the orange paint it will enhance the look. A low stance is just mean and it hides a mulitude of sins, lol.

Cab corner repair

Cab corner repair

[ChuckDriver]

I pulled the inner panel completly out and sealed it up from the inside. Now there's no way water and debris can cause rust!

[BC Toy chest]

I know I haven't posted anything in a long time it's just that so much of the stuff I have been doing wasn't worth taking pictures or even talking about. A lot of small stuff and detail work. This project is taking a lot longer then I thought the more I tore the truck apart the more I found wrong with the body and the more I wanted to change other things. I can see now the bed panels and the custom wheel tubs are going to kick my butt. here are some update pics of the rear cab corners and later some kool trucks I came across when I went to South Carolina recently.

Some kool trucks I came across when I went to South Carolina recently. When I arived at the Charleston Airport I spotted this '55 Chevy 4sale. Then 3 days later I'm on the freeway in Charleston and I run across that same '55 Chevy being towed. Wonder if it's being delivered to it's new home. Wish she was coming back to my house LOL. I'll post updates on my cab work later.

One day at a time hey, the quality of your truck will be top shelf when your done, keep making it better. You do great work I'm envious. I try not to look at the acne in my '65, I'll deal with it another time...good to see you making progress.

Thanks 65Pickup for the compliment and encouragement. LOL the more I do the slower things seem to go, I'm envious too, I am getting a lil depressed seeing all these trucks driving around completed and some of these projects on here are out of this world. Unfortunately my wallet dictaes what I can and can't do,

[ChuckDriver]

BC,

Next time you're in Charleston I'll take you for a ride in my 57!

[Kim57]

Nice job on the corners BC.

Hey I've got the same issue, figured once the motor and trans were purchased the rest would be cake!!!!! Its ridiculous how much all the good little stuff costs, the only fix is time and spreading out the expense, YAWN.
That Yellow truck is haunting you...weird how things work!

[G&R's57GMC]

Dang if that tow truck doesn't look like a repo truck.

If it is, the poor guy just lost his ride.

Yeah and you did not tell me thank you until 2 months later after you looked in the bag and seen what I gave you. You had the nerve to call me talking about I did not know you gave me the handles also. Man you are some kind of friend, thats why you are my sometime buddy. What a butthead.lol

Tony's been talking about building a 383 so I told him to come get this engine block thats just sitting in the yard and guess what. He immediately said thank you. He did not wait 2 months.lol

Yeah I said it.

I would like that a lot. Hope the wife and I get the chance to go back we had a great time. Something told me before I left to check on here to see if any of my contacts live in the areas I was going to be. I got tied up and forgot. Saw a few really nice rides at the Low Country Car Club show. I will post a few pics of the trucks I saw. You probably know the guys. One guy is a member on here, but I lost the card I wrote his name on. I'm hoping some one can ID the truck when I post the pics.
