bpletcher55 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) using a 57 cab as the side windows on the 55,s wrong , it will have a 55 grill ,57 hood ,I converted the big back window to a small one as I like them better ,I am also going to have the visor on ,and a 58 fleet side bed , I had to shorten the bed as it was a long bed , this will be sitting on the ground with a custom frame and air ride suspension , not sure about a motor yet , color will be a satin pearl color ,maybe green,or blue or lavender I don,t know yet , Edited May 1, 2015 by bpletcher55
hotrod66c10 Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Cool small window,I'm on your side with the small Windows. I didn't like them when I was younger but since buying one that has changed.
bpletcher55 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 here are some pics of the frame that I built for the truck , If you want I can post pics as it was being built .
JasonFL Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Everyone's building these killer trucks. I have to get in on this. Great looking mods so far, I'd personally love to see the build up of the frame. Keep it up.
bpletcher55 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 body work is all most done , made inner wheel wells for the bed ,
wayne swayze Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I like the smaller rear window on this. Curious as to the panel origin that you used. Nice work as usual!
bpletcher55 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Wayne , the [ panel ] was cut out of the center rear window on the 50 Chevy pick up , AMT , it was an old one I had that the paint was screwed up on , I glued the rear window from the 55 kit into place and cot out for the [ PANEL ] and glued that in , add putty and sand ,sand ,sand , hope this helps . Yea I know you can get a cab in resin with the small window all ready done , but that takes all the fun out of doing it your self . ! Edited April 8, 2015 by bpletcher55
