Muchas Gracias!

 

Great looking truck. Congrats on the purchase

 

Thanks for gett in me on board Julie! You 're always there to help a guy out.

 

As promised way back on page one... whew that was a long time ago.... good thread Stephen!

This in my effie and my effie parts. I hope my garage doesnt offend you all as much as it does the people in my subdivision but its been a long winter and everything gets stored in the garage and around the trucks...

front shot


down the side preppin for a cab swap


The reason for the cab swap


yep, shes a long bed but not for long! BTW, if you need a long bed let me know before I cut this one up!!!! I have the tailgate for it too, the correct one!



The extra cab that will be swapped on

 

Nice looking truck, er trucks!

You're right, that bed would have been perfect, lol



Here, I'm going to post this just so everyone feels better about how "messy" their garage is.

(before I put the ribbed tailights in)






There, I did the entire build in that little room. It can be done! Course I would not have minded having more than my forearm lenght around it, would have made painting it easier, as well as a clean room and not plastic covering everything and making static. lol


And I actually cleaned that garage spotless after this... and then it some how went right back to being worse. I need more room. A lot more room. And time, and less stress, lol.

 

Some experts say that Ford changed the 6 cylinder grille emblem from a 3-pointed star in '53 to a a 4-pointed star in 1954 because Mercedes threatened a law suit because they said it looked too much like their emblem....

 

Screw the people in your subdivision - you have a damn fine Garage worthey of note.

 

Thank you sir, that is very kind of you to say.

I live in a typical subdivision in a suburb... heck, most of these people don't even have anything in thier garages but two cars... no shovels no anything. Though the air is shifting... we have gear heads moving in. I see a couple cars on rotiseries now and some projects in some peoples garages...

 

... it's a garage... it's behind closed doors. Tell em if they don't like vintage they have no taste, lol

I don't have the suburb problem, but I do have the "living in the center of town and having everyone rubber necking when ever I work, including the old people with nothing to do but report me for stupid things" problem, lol. Nothing like having to put on a temp mirror till I get new mirrors in just cause I'd get a note or fine for not having one, that day. lol... lame small town bordem.

 

wish you were closer, and I'd trade a SNB for that LNB!!!

This is at it sits today; working on geting glass install and wiring finished.

Basement renovation, job getting in the way of progress,......maybe next weekend ?

 

As they still are now.* Can't seem to get back to them due to an always higher priority project.

 

Nice scoop on the '56
