Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside

All of the kids were in town and my son hand the brilliant idea that we should tow the truck to the top of the neighborhood and take it on it's maiden voyage. Made multiple runs with only gravity and leg power. Had a blast and the truck handled great! Even bounced it up the ramp on the driveway at speed with the wheels turned and the tires did not hit the body.


Determined that the '05 to '08 Corvette radiator will fit. Had to trim my core support body mounts a bit. I will have to shave the plastic condenser mounting brackets that are welded to the plastic tanks for it to fit. Leaves me just enough space to mount an after market cooling fan. About 2.5" to work with. May still have to trim the threaded shaft that the old manual fan was mounted to if the fan won't fit. Condenser will be mounted on the other side of the core support.

Passenger seat has been shortened and it will be installed today.
