The transformation

...oh hell yes!

 

Just Got it back from getting air ride on it. Also put a 49 Plymouth rear bumper.

 

That looks fucking killer! I really like this truck. It has kind-of a "bomb" feel to it, which I totally dig! You're doing it right man.

 

looks cool!

 

Looks spectacular!

 

Put those 5 spokes on your tow pig or a Chevelle or Camaro
I LOVE Artillery wheels and WWW on your truck!
Just sayin

 

Thanks guys. Im not planning on putting the big wheels back on it. The white walls and artillery wheels look too damn good. I have some 55 caddy dagmars for the front. Just have to find time to get them installed.

 

This is what I did with the "O" in Chevrolet on my tail gate

 

whitewalls look killer

 

Much better.

 

The new wheels look great with the pinstriping. Match much better than the other ones.

 

Cool truck - give us more pics and details. red wheels?

 

Looks much better...............now get rid of that visor and fill in the quarter windows.

 

Fill in the quarter windows?

 

Terrible advice... IMO

 

I still don't know what he is talking about with the quarter windows. He mean corner windows?
Here are a couple of pictures. Cleared bare metal frame. All brackets, 4 link bars and portholes are black.

 

Yep, I'm not a big fan of the five windows. The factory screwed up when they didnt make all three rear windows the same size top to bottom.

Whatever................it's not my fault you have bad tatse.

 

I've often thought about what it would look like this the bottom of the center window down at the same level at the corner windows.

 

Hmmmm - that would be a big back window - easily do-able too. We just need someone to do the photo shop work... to see how ot would look.

Hey did you get the repro Artillery wheels or originals? I see they make them up to 10" wide now.....

Looks better, ready for some shiny paint to go with it.

 

I have to agree, the quarter windows never did it for me either.

 

Wheels are big improvement over the ghetto hoops. Now just fix the broken springs .

 

How can you haul anything in that truck it's to low!

 

Well I like the wheels and I normally don't go in big for red wheels. Those look good though.

I know we have said this before but that truck is just begging for an all over paint job, even a flat one. I am aware as well that you like it like that but it isn't far from being a stunner and it is appearant that you don't mind a little elbo grease.

by the way I like 5 window trucks, but I can disagree with muttley if I want to.

The wheels look good on it. I hope they didn't break the bank.

 

There is a thread on here where a 5-window got it's qtr windows filled - has to be a first. I converted my COE 3-window cab to a 5-window using a 1/2 ton cab roof and back - so I am most def with the 99.9% that like the qtr windows.

 

I agree,all trucks should have wheels and windows..

 

He pumps his bags up and the truck not really for hauling per se, it is for looking.

 

Need to sand blast the wheels and yellow the white wall or paint the thing.

 

What are the size and make of the whitewalls? Look like radial tires. I like both tires and wheels.

 

im not a fan of the 48-EARLY 55 chev trucks EXCEPT for the 5 windows they are cool
