    I'm building a 56 Ford truck that someone made into a extra cab a while back. We all ready choped it 2 inchs and put a big back window kit in it. We have a 61 Chrysler grill and head lights. But I need some help, the bed just seems to plain and I would like to see some pictures of some outher trucks for inspiration .The truck is getting a full panel paint and white interior. Any pictures inside or out would be a big help. Thanks Scott

    Langly. Thats cool, I dig the dash. What's with the tailgate I can't see it to well in the pictutres? Did you use a stock tailgate and build off of it ?We have been kicking around the Idea of useing a 57 Ranchero tail gate. Thanks, that will be a cool truck. Scott

    Hi Scott its not me doing it i'm afraid, Just know of it and thought people would be interested in seeing whats happening in the U.K.
    I believe its an Impala dash.
    Yeah i'm sure the Ranchero would be ideal.

    UMM and how do you get to the engine on the brown one??? i've seen pics of it before but i just realise that there are no seams. the fenders appear to be welded to the cab and the hood to the fenders and cab. looks like a tinted lexan piece on top of the hood but how the hell do you get to the motor??? pull the Lexan? it'd be a ***** to work on if thats all the access you had to the motor. neat lookin truck though.

    I think the plex panel is held on with just a few Dzus fasteners.
    1/4 turn each and it comes off.

    That orange A pickup of ****'s next to the Blue truck is cool too! :cool:

    Here is the truck we are building. So far we got it to sit right (air bagged all around). Chopped it 2inches. Added a big back window. Now we're starting on fixing some of the previous fabricators **** work. They tac-welded the whole thing together and put a "nice" coat of bondo over it. We're still undecided on how much work is going into the bed of the truck. I'll post more pictures later... Thanks for all the pictures you guys of sent. It's been a big help, a lot of ideas for us to go from. See ya later, Scott
