    Here was the first post that I did on this truck that my dad and I are working on for him.

    It is a 1959 Chevy Truck with a fleet side bed, it is powered by a 472 Cadillac motor with a Cadillac Overdrive Tranny and rearend.

    Now, here she is with the Fleetside bed, Lowered with Polished Americans and whites!

    Now we have to figure out the rear bumper, finnish the frame notching, work with the steering arm a bit, then body work starts and soon after we will be painting it!

    Any questions just ask.

    Thanks

    You, and your Dad did an awesome job. The truck looks really good. Did you lower it the way you mentioned, or did you go with air ride? What ever way you used it looks good.
