    This is for my '37 Chevy (sort of) PU project. After long delays caused by 2 stokes I'm finally getting some work done.

    I found some early '50s Chevy long bed sides on Craigslist for $40, cut them to length and filled in some metal along the bottom edge. I bought a front panel and got lots of help from my brother, Gary (he really did the work), and its to this stage.

    Planning a wood floor and working tailgate. Have enough of the sides left over to build another, shorter bed. Not sure what I will do with that but if the material is there, I don't want it to go to waste.

    Short rundown: '37 Chevy cab, Buick straight eight, T-5 tranny, Exploder rear axle, Speedway front axle, home made frame.

    The shop is at a friend's place. That's his '39 Pontiac in the background. Anyone have a left rear fender for it?
