Finally getting around to posting some pics of my truck. Picked it up for a very nice price a few months ago and drove it home!!

Planning a complete rebuild, but want to use it for camping this summer, so right now I'm just replacing worn front end parts, doing a carb rebuild and interior stuff to make it camping worthy.

 

Good stuff, looks like a very solid truck and you`re doing all the right things for a great start.
Keep us posted and thanks for the pictures!

 

congrats on the project. I'm currently building a '59 as well.

 

congrats. have lots of fun!

man, i look at that and look at my 50 . . . they musta thought that was some sort of space truck of the future when it came out lol . . . what a difference 9 yrs made

 

Real nice looking truck!!!! Good luck on your build and enjoy the camping trips.

Very nice thanks for the pics looks like a good solid start to a nice project

 

Good Look'n Truck

 

Very nice. Looks like just surface rust.....little rubbing and several rattle cans of rust paint ....et viola brand new truck

 

I luv everything about the truck except the wheels. They just don't work for me on an old classic like ya got.

 

Yep, those are gone.

 

one of the local boneyards had one of those orphan late 50s sitting . it was white and pink two tone and i still want it just because !!! nice truck and have fun !!!!

 

Nice truck.....yours is in a lot better shape than my '58.... We'll have to share our plans with each other maybe come up with some interesting ideas lol...

Welcome to the 57-60 club! There seem to be more and more people tackling these "Orphan Years" or "Refrigerators". I joined the board fairly recently, have been driving a 57-60 since I was 14. FTE has been a great source of information for me in the short time that I've been here.
