Now this thing is looking like it's gonna have to debut at the GNRS or some such high end show.

Not to resurrect an old thread but I'd love to see what eventually happened to this build. Any updates over the last year? Thanks and great work!

Thanks for the pictures! This is a great looking truck. Did you finish the interior? If so, mind posting some pics?

Great looking project..never worked with one of those air bag setups..should be good.

The 57 is my favorite Fridge..I've got a 58 and its fine..but I like the single headlights and simpler grill of the 57..just me..all are good.

Very cool project and I'll be using some of it in my current '57 build. Question for you on the hitch, did you use a universal kit and weld it in, or was the entire thing fabricated?

Cheers,
Aaron
