Man that is a sweet truck. Especially since the snow covers the rust. Very nice Glenn.

i want it!!!

Thanks guys
I can't wait to tear into it this summer. I've been working away on the chassis for most of this winter.
Hope to put the body on the new chassis this summer, then start the body work.

my dad's buddy has 1 almost like yours sitting in his yard.. couple of ford panel trucks too.. sadly, yours is in MINT condition compared to his..darn east coast.. lol

Can you say....rust?



Not bad though, I like it.

Actually it's really not that rusty
The left and right rocker/step need to be replace and a pc of the hinge piller.
Who ever painted it red, did sand very good.
So I'll have to strip the hole thing

Nice truck. I almost bought a 1957 Ford panel.

awesome car!

Thanks Crazzycat

I picked up some more replacement panels today at our local Classic Car parts store.
I picked up the Left Lower replacement Door Hinge Panel and the Hinge Pocket panels.

I'm getting a little bit of a pile of parts.... It's almost time to get to work.

why would you have a pile of parts.. if it were mine they would be on the truck already.. lol.. i saw so many decent panel vans at the swap meet today for CHEAP.. i almost picked one up but then i found a set of turboes for something else im building.. lol

A while back, I picked up a replacement step. But I didn't want to weld it in cause I needed the replacement panels for the front of the step. (Hinge Panel)

but joe have a chassis van een silverado
succes

I don't quite understand your question AirBrush... I guess it got lost in the translation

So have you made any progress?

No progress to report... I just moved into a two car heated garage. Lots of room to work on it now.. but I'm still accumulating parts.

Yea I hear ya. Im going to get my new shop this wknd
