Yeah, that is a nice truck but like Randy Jack said...it is a 1956.
Already looks like an attention grabber!
Family projects are the best. I am building a 53 with my kids and we are already making some memories.

Nice looking truck....... were the caddy seats too big for the cab? I ask because I have a 60/40 set from a full sized Ford and although they are very comfy I can't get them far enough back in the cab for my feet to feel right on the pedals.............

No, the caddy seats weren't too big, they were only 26 inches wide, leaving room for a small console. with the interior floor being 63 inches wide, i'm assuming you could go up to 58 inches wide with your seat/console combo. the seats i picked up today are form a '00 expedition (26" wide, including armrests) but i'm going to have to fab up a frame to install them, sicne the floor of the expeditons is un even, the stock brackets won't work. tomorrow im going console shopping wish me luck!
wish me luck!

Hi Garrett, welcome aboard . Lovely looking truck , and a lovely Bull terrier too. I help rescue them over here in England . I have four of them at the moment, 1 foster dog awaiting a new home and 3 of my own (2 of which were also rescues ).
Good luck with the truck, looks like you had a really good base as a start there.
