my new pickem up truck.

Okay, so no IFS of any kind for you truck then as well? It just is amazing the amount of options for the 55-59 GM truck guys as far as front suspensions go. I will admit though that the 58-59 look particularly good when lowered hard.

Yeah, two words. Dropped axle. That and a little spring work and she'll be L-O-W

 

OOH YEA!!!!! let the fun begin! nice find, great project!

 

cool. those are awesome trucks.
nice score.

 

Nice truck. A little weedkiller for the moss, some steelies, and you're good to go.

 

I'd love to have that 59....get it running and have fun with it.

 

sam, your gonna have to drive really slow if you wanna keep them boxes!

 

Congrats, Nice Truck!

 

Todd,... Those boxes a full of parts I got with the truck, I was usin em to simulate the weight of the bed/fenders while setting up my rear springs, etc....I don't wanna drive that slow!

 

Looks like you scored a sweet vacuum cleaner too!

 

Looks like you have the rest of you winter planned out.

 

looks as though you have a great start....i imagin a slight nose down rake, a satin blue hue offset by solid red steel wheels. just dropping athought

 

Looks like a nice start!

 

Ya I'm thinkin big and littles w/ wide whites on chromies or full spun disks.

 

Korn is good at polishing and wax you should have him over for the weekend!

 

Hey skeezbag
You know how I feel about natural patina...ala the '52. But... the '58 proves upgrading is nice too!! Knowing how you make up your mind I will expect a Y block in it soon!! (and by soon, I mean by the time I get rich and move to France)

 

That is a nice find. The late 50's Chevs look so much better than the Fords, and I'm a Ford man. I got about half way through a '55 15 years ago and the project was stopped by divorce (the customers). Id like to find that truck stuck back in the corner of his buddy's garage and finish it. tnrotter

 

Thank you for the chance today to lend a hand... It was worth getting wet... you got a great 2nd hand vacuum for your wife's Valentines day gift and I got chicken fried chinese food!
