Check out post #117 for my epiphany.

1955 First Series Chevy Panel Truck

I have been working on this truck for a few years now, but the sites that I have been using so far either provide me very little feedback or the feedback I get is useless because I know more than everyone else on that particular site. Truth be told, I don't know jack. This is my first build; I've never done anything this extreme. I have made a million mistakes already and have a few million more to make.

The reason I am posting here is because I want ideas, suggestions, and even warnings. I'm posting what I have done so far and I'll keep posting on this thread as I keep working on the truck.

I'll post pictures in order if at all possible. Other pictures are at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/314556...nel-van/page-3

Feel free to ask questions and throw advice at me!

The day I "found" it. Paid $500.

I knew I wanted it bagged but I had very little money to spend. So, I decided to use an S10 frame.

I laid the frame out as far as it would go. I didn't use drop spindles.

Then I tore the truck to hell:
