Thanks George, The truck is basically finished and I really enjoy driving it. I only have the door and kick panels left to do. I recently started on my 55 210. I built a 6.0 motor for it and I installed a C4 front suspension on the frame. It should be nice. I would love to see your truck post something when you can.

Thank you

Hey man thanks for the comments. So we've met? Could you remind me of where and when?

Bam55's Garage hi bam we met at a brothers truck show years ago and you can’t to my storage unit to check out my chassis I built for my 55’ years ago then I took you to my in-laws house in woodcrest (riverside) to check out some other parts I had there. This was probably 7-8 years ago . I will send you pics of my build what’s your number? Last time I saw you, you were telling me about that shooting at work you were involved in

@@muscletruck1246 Yeah I remember you. How are you man? Hows the ride? Hit me up with an email when you get a chance.

Bam55's Garage what’s your email brotha? I get some pics of the truck I want to send you

@@muscletruck1246 my email is mkabwe55@gmail.com

Thanks man, Yeah one of my favorite mods I've done is the 55 car dash also. By the way I changed the hood. I grafted a 58 hood onto the 55 hood. You can check at this link if you like 67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=440079&page=89

55fenders. 58 had 4 headlights

Thanks man and get started and post some of your work.

Thanks for checking me out and commenting.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Thank you for looking and taking the time to comment. I love repairing and building these old rides.

Thanks man check out some more of my videos driving the truck now

Thanks

@@bam55sgarage77 yep!🙂

Thanks but nothing brave about its only metal, its not heart surgery. The worst that could happen is I'd have to cut it out and do it again.lol

@@bam55sgarage77 I think I'd be doing a lot over and over again. Again, it's impressive...

@@joeschlotthauer840 Thanks for the comments man I really do appreciate it.

@@bam55sgarage77 I breathe this stuff, been a car, truck guy all my life, retired Ford Lincoln Mercury technician,and I'm big on the trades, I try to tell the younger generation that's where the money is at. My friend (a welder) told me the average welder is 51 years old and the average plumber is 53. Where I'm at, you can't get a electrician or a concrete guy.

@@joeschlotthauer840 Yeah I hear you that is why I learned to do everything myself. I do all my engine, trans, and paint and body work because for someone really good the cost is crazy and I can mess up things on my own with no help from others.lol Plus I really enjoy it.

Thank you for commenting.

Yeah I pretty much touched every panel on that thing.lol

Thanks

Thanks for the compliment man I really appreciate it. I would really like to see what your doing to that 210. I will be redoing mine in the future, I'm just gathering ideas now and will not touch it until I have a final plan.

Thanks man I really appreciate the compliments. As far as the hood I did a pie cut of inch out of the front and tapered down the sides to zero at the back. But I did change that also its now has a 58 hood top on a 55 hood bottom. Here is a link to it now 67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=440079&page=89 . I am in the final stages of the build. I have the bed, glass, and of course interior to do. I have been test driving it lately working out the mechanical.m

To get everything to line up to the point where I can live with it. Yes I had to cut, weld, add metal when needed. Its not show car perfect but its pretty good. These trucks are notorious for awful panel alignment.

I fitted the doors the best I could get them and then I added metal.

You are correct my truck is originally a 1958 it came with four headlights but I put a 55 Front End on the truck. So because of the cab its still registered as a 58

@@bam55sgarage77 my friend is restoring his 58. so I've been looking at youtube videos for. him. thanks for yours

@@jump4j no problem thanks for looking and commenting

Yes its a 58, but its custom. It has a 55 front end and a 58 fleetside bed, but the truck was orginally a 58 with the double headlights.

Why? Because I enjoy saving or restoring classic metal that others would walk away from. Also I learn with each build and it test my skills and abilities. So my answer to myself when I see a project like this is why not.

he is making it his, style and taste shows, great job too

Like the spirit of taking on challenges others would walk away from. That's certainly how you must have developed such great craftsmanship. Congratulations on a beautiful build. You inspire me to upskill my abilities too.
