Need inspiration Show me some 55-66 Chevy Trucks

I'm looking for some cool 55-66 Chevy Trucks to spur me on. Can you help a fella out?

 

Well since Lucky Strike started the thread, I'll come along for the ride. Since I just started my '57 project I would like to see some good ones as well.

 

bone stock 57 chevy small back window and a photo shop of it

 

Great that you chopped off the same amount of the guys legs, so he'll fit in it...

 

looks even better when the caddy was slammed to the ground too

 

I'll have 'er runn'in by noon. Wanna cruise the pop stand????

My $100 find

 

I love the filing cabinet welded to the stepside. Cool trick.

Here's a pic of my mobile storage shed. Oh shit, you said COOL trucks, didn't you? Forget it.

 

Okay,

I know this is a crappy way to post, but I don't have a scanner.

Here are some drawings of pickups I've done...

Based on an '57 International, radikally changed...

Based on a ???'52??? Chevy (Did this one a while ago...)

Interior design of ???'52 Chevy???...

I'm nowhere near as good as some other guys here, but hey, I'm 14...

Later.

Troy.

 

Being I'm never one to do something part-way...here's a '57 half-ton my bro and I built...see if you can spot the changes... It's running a 307" and a Turbo 350 tranny. This truk is now for sale if anyone is interested...

I can only speak for myself but I think this one is pretty cool.........

Mootz has a really kool truck.

Not to spam this thread BUT, I've got a pair of NIB 55-57 chevy truck chrome H/L bezels I was going to put in the classifieds. $50 shipped. Ifin ya want em pm me.

 

This is one that I built. It is in MInnesota now.I ran into the guy that has it now on the HOT ROD POWER TOUR. He has not changed anything but engine.

 

That is very cool!

 

OK bro, here is a photochop of mine that a fellow HAMBer did:

 

While we are all here.....what is the best and cheapest way to drop your rear end? Someone suggested I flip the axle ontop of the springs, but wouldnt the axel contact the frame when I hit a bump??

 

Yeah, get it for $2200.00 and then sell it to me.

 

yeah, but who cars how it rides if it looks cool?

you can C notch the frame to clear and get a little bit of travel out of it.

 

I hear ya, but I would rather it ride good, and look cool. Guess I'll have to plan to spend some more dough on a better rear end set up.

 

Here ya go...









...more in my Chevy & GMC Trucks album!

 

You can drop it a few inches by removing some leaves out of each side which would be very cheap (free ). I took out 3 leaves per side on mine but wasn't able to haul much and ended up putting 1 leaf back in. That wasn't low enough and gave the truck some rake but I was able to haul light loads.
I believe there are some mono leaf setups available that would drop it further and still give a decent ride.

 

SoCalCarCulture,

Now that is what I'm talking about!! Holly smokes that is some freakin' cool s*&T!

 

this one was at Goodguys Saturday

I met the guy when it was under construction, very much quality workmanship, and deffinately built for fun

 

That gray primer truck is cool !!

 

Do you have any more pics of the primer job? Thanks

 

The project that will never finish or see day light again

 

I'm pretty partial to this one....you're probably sick of seeing it though.


Mootz

 

Here is a few shots of my brothers truck he is in the middle of building

 

I will never grow tired of seeing your truck. Got any pictures of the frame and build?
