I like the truck! That's what you call slammin it. It's definitely going to look nice when its complete. I love the radiator setup. Clean. What's with the Chevy motor????? I also love the headers they have some very thick flanges. Let us know what brand they are and if they have the same for FORD motors. LOL...... Nice job!

This year the truck is going to be just a cruiser. I've only owned the truck for about 8 months, so most of my time has been spent on the frame work, raising the engine and trans and the rear leafs. I need to get off my duff and post some current pics. The truck is now painted John Deere Blitz Black, I have the 56 grille installed the interior is coming together and the bed is on with the frame coming thru the center and painted the same as the firewall. I'm just looking foward to hanging out with my pops cruising together w/ his 36 dodge five window and showing off my little work of art.

Updated pics!
These are about two weeks old, I have pretty much the entire truck complete except interior and wiring which should be complete with in a week or so.
First pic, A shot of the truck about two days after paint, it's a little dusty but I fixed that with her first bath.

Third pic, This is the seat that was "Free" that will be put into the truck once the interior is complete.

Fourth pic, This is a pic of my truck in primier and my dads 36 dodge five window. He is the one that talked me into buying the truck and has helped with the building of the truck. This project could not have been done without him.

Scr8pinhrd, the truck looks great! You sound like me and my 56 Effie. I'm putting a whole lot of work in on the truck. I'm looking at lowering it right now. (not to the extreme of your truck). I still have the original suspension and would like to keep it, just drop it an inch or two. You've done alot of work on it. I'll try to figure out how to post pics on here and I'll post of few of my project. Just finished painting it mid night blue.
