I found out from researching custom trucks from the 50s that many of those exterior side bed exhausts were functional! One guy told me they were sometimes called 'belly burners' due to their placement lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, David. ππ Thanks! Some years ago I saw someone else use half round plastic rod for tuck and roll pleats and thought it was a great ideaΒ πΒ You'll find that if you sand/shape the ends of each rod before gluing them in place, it will look like the piping anchors down the ends of the pleats, much like the real thing!Β It's extra work, but it yields a more realistic lookΒ π 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbs up for this kool ride! Thanks! With kustoms, it's all about getting the separate modifications to work together as a whole, right? My ideas dont always work out but this build is successful I think!Β 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midlineqb Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 This is a well thought out custom that was created with the greatest of care. Really admire the workmanship. Would like to see more pictures.

I imagine it would have an updated and dressed up period correct OHV motor, like an early cadillac or Buick nailheadΒ πΒ I dont have any good interior pics.
