'53 Chevy truck - My crazy project
Hello everyone, today I want to tell me how I started my adventure.
It started two years ago. It was love at first sight and I decided to buy this truck that looked like a perfect but...  From the time the truck came to my house I began to discover all that was wrong and many things needed to be restored. I did not know where to start... I realized that this truck was not exactly as I wanted so I started removing the body and gradually piece by piece, I completely disassembled. I felt ready for a frame-off       Every day I was looking in the internet work done by the masters on these trucks and I changed my idea of how often would be my final project. Before I decided that I installed a V8 motor engine, then I would have installed Air Ride suspension but the stage of disassembly was still very long ....

Re: '53 Chevy truck - My crazy project
  It was not very encouraging, but now I must go on    Luckily there was not much rust in the floor so the work was less difficult than expected    Here begins the first satisfactory results after a lot of work

Re: '53 Chevy truck - My crazy project
I enjoyed watching the firewall with no holes, and so I started working
   This was perhaps the most insane job I could do but I did not like the truck with 5 window, so I decided to close the corner glass     I'm finally happy  I also worked a lot on the doors

Re: '53 Chevy truck - My crazy project
 Inner dash...      We pass to the front fender... I did not like the original folder I'm pointing with his finger and so I decided to take it for a more perfect curvature

You may be the only person in history to convert from a deluxe cab to a standard cab.
