Sweet project! I can't wait to see the finished product. What are the plans for the bed area?

Yeah, it will get stylesided, need to find a box, and another set of front fenders to build matching rears. I may buy another truck and steal the cab to make mine a crew, and steal the box. Also, if it has a better '59 grill, i need that too. These things may come from the pick n pull as i spy a nice one behind the fence.

Picked up a nice windshield with the stainless trim, see the nice crack? I did that, just my luck. Note the whiskey glass.

Not that it matters much at this point but you will need to put the trim into the rubber before you install the glass. Sorry about the crack. Crack Kills!!

Those emblems are on the 58-60 C series and F700 and up. They are much bigger than the smaller trucks. I have seen the 534 stamp and now the 477. They are decent but one has a small gouge.
