    Belongs to my good buddy Joe Creep. Amazing truck and amazing guy. Sadly we lost him this year but he was loved by many!

    So I had to cut my update short so I could get the car back together. I will still be working on some things and updating, but the important stuff got done.

    Went from 600 to 550- 16s on the front. I think it makes it just so much better. While they were off went ahead and polished the Lyons covers. Glad I did that. They were fadey.
    Got the og strombergs on there and polished up and I think pretty much leak free at this point so yay! Had to completely change like everything to make that work in the car but I think it’s good now.
    Resprayed the frame to take care of some stuff and went ahead and freshened up some chrome.
    New master cyl... god it needed it.
    The old pitman was chrome but bent weird and too close to scrub line. Thanks to @Bass we got one bent correctly (and of course chromed) and it sits nice and tight up in there.
    The old Sutone License frame was a little scratched up so got his chrome squared away too. At this point I still have a whole interior to redo and some paint touch up but it’ll do for now. :)
    Yeah that’s unicorn pubes behind the grill. I was playing around

    Pretty sure it's a 58. I love that truck. It has so much character and he drove the hell out of it.
