That rack turned out pretty cool! I can see small livestock in the back going to the sale barn this Saturday now! :lol:

Door time. I replace hinge pins. Test fit Passenger door. With the primer door it reminded me of a movie “Every which way but Loose” hahaha. I removed the yellow door and painted inside of door.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
 

Then I painted the exterior door Bermuda Green metallic it’s a 1954 chevy car color. I had some paint left over from a previous project. I did no body work to door. Just a scuff and shoot with rattle cans. I included the paint can pic of the interior paint.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
 

I did the same thing to drivers door. Painted interior same silver spray can after I replaced the bingo pins.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
 

The door looks so much better now. That is such a straight old truck. I bet it really runs good after that tune up!

Also check about on trans for wear where the release brg rides. Check release fork and ball stud for wear in area that contacts release brg and ball stud. Check all linkages and pedal pivots for wear. Check pedal pad and rubber bumper on pedal arm for integrity.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
 

Sorry, got auto corrected.
Snout on trans, not about on trans. That's front bearing retainer in parts guy terminology.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
 

Pic's of the interior as it is now PLEASE ?

:) :) :)

Yes I did clean, inspect, grease all the linkages. I welded up the clutch linkage and hand filed it. Amazing what some maintenance does for the truck. Shifts are smoother and gears have a more distinct feeling on the shifter!!

WHAT?! Heresy! Heresy! Why sell it? You've just gotten it running right. Did you buy it with the intent of flipping it for a profit?

What a shame.:waah:

When I sell it I get to do it again!! Plus it’s another old truck back on the road. I always buy with the best intention.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
 

Dan you need to buy it ... that way you can drive it anywhere and not worry about it .

Maybe hit it with some greenish rattle can spray paint ....
