Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

Thanks guys!

Sure I let you know where I put the new build, it is going to be in the same way.
Not a showcar, but a reliable daily driver.

Sander and I went on a little roadtrip, boy was that dangerous :lol::lol:
All those people sticking heads out the carwindows just to take pictures and make movies or just to watch..... crazy people, for us Kool Guyz CC is this pretty normal :lol:;)

Here are some pic of loading the car and bringing it to my little Hot Rod Shed.
I want to Thank Sander, 63Split, for all his help, you’re te best mate!! Thank you!!

That is one of the nicest COE flat bed conversions I have seen in a very long time. Awesome pics.

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

Thanks Jim!!

For the COE, you must blame 63Split, he built this :metal:
He did in awesome job on it, drives like a charm!!

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

I tracked down his old build post, but all the photos are not loading. Was hoping to see the pics.

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

Can’t help you with that, sorry....

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

Goodmorning!!
Happy Easter everybody!

It’s been awhile since I was here, sorry.
Life gets in the way sometimes.
So what’s up, well, I have been renovating my house since late June and now almost finished with it.
Had also a few hours into the ‘57, renewed the wiring, repaired the front brakes and steering. Dashboard is almost ready, just want to digitalize the stock clock (it doesn’t work now). Just have to do the rearbrakes and I can go to the inspection.
But, with this Corona thing going on, they are closed until further notion....

Then I have a question for you readers...
I was looking for a pdf file of a book for Chevy Smallblock.
I have more then 50 pdf files on my comp, all Chevy Related, but what I need, I haven’t got.
So if you have one of these books in the pics, would you like to share?? Or something in the like of these.
( don’t know where to ask on this forum, tried WTB parts, but I’m not allowed there.)
And if you are looking for a special pdf, maybe I have it, just ask, I will look and if I have it, I mail it to you.

That’s it for today, have fun and stay safe!!

Hi Kees, Good to see you're keeping busy :)
If you have a lead on those pdf's don't hasitate to share.
wanna rebuild my 283 next winter.

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

Did not get any reactions on my quest for pdf’s unfortunately.
But if I find one, I’ll send them to you.
If you want it to be a stock engine, all measurements and tolerances are in the normal (good) shopmanuals too.

As for the wagon, I am ready for the Dutch DMV, have an appointment on July 14, sooner wasn’t possible because of this corona thing...
Should I start a buildthread overhere of the Wagon?
Don’t know if there is any interest?

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

You'll get it through without any trouble, I sure about that.
I'd be interested in the build (just call it "truck" :) )

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

Hi all!
Remember me? ��
Haven’t been here in awhile, I’m sorry…
Did read a few posts of you, all looking good!
I’m driving the 57 Wagon I bought after selling the Apache, and the first outing with this car was to Belgium, the CC Reunion, and I saw my old pickup there!
The only thing that’s changes was a faster airride set, airtank, solenoids and compressor and other wheels ��
Also the red was changed to off-white or beige. The new owner was very happy with it and said he drove it more than his modern car!
So all in all the truck has a good home now!
How are you all doing lately?

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed
 

Hey Kees, I still remember you. Like you I haven't been posting to much. Glad to see your still kicking around...Jim
