Done! (well, almost) 56 Farm Rod.

Busted my *** for the last 13 months to get this done. Still have the bed wood to do, but she's pretty much done. From a field to my farm. Its gonna be my wife's daily driver. I bought two "field" trucks and did what I could to turn it into a, slight hot rod, farm truck. I will be adding side rails.









EDIT: adding some photos of the wood

Nice! Some of us like plain Jane farm trucks and I love the color!

Wow! Wished my wife wanted a daily driver like that so I could borrow it!
It really turned out nice! Now I have to back and look at your work again. I think that is about what I would build if I had the skills, the dollars and the motivation. Oh yea and the truck!

Regards,
Chris

I like it. Bears a resemblance to Tim Allen's 56 in last man standing.

Thanks everyone. As usual the paint looks better in photos than real life. But it was my first time doing bodywork and paint.

Its a mid 80s to early 90s chevy c-10 bench. Pretty easy to find and cheap. Fits perfect.
