The rise from ashes 1956 Chevy

[Fults1971]

Just an update, I found 55' cab in Oklahoma on ebay, and picked it up last monday. Overall the cab is in good shape, just have to replace the cab corners from it sitting on concrete for the past 15 years. The floor is pretty much perfect. Oh yeah, it was titled too! the vin number is 2 digits off from the title though, but Texas registration said that is its fine, and will have to do a title correction. I guess in the 80's someone "fat-fingered" the typewriter when they wrote up the title. I also found a 96-99 suburban third row seat for the bench seat with headrest. Its right at 48" long and from the bottom of the seat (not including brackets) to the top of the head rest is 26 inches. So it looks like ill have 4 inches or so to make a bracket and stay under the back window.

Looks like I'm the third guy to mention how this might be important. Take care of it now! There's something sad about spending all of your money to build someone else's truck, or owning a shiny truck that you can't buy a license plate for.

I am dealing with a lost title issue on a truck I am getting in Oregon, cannot have it shipped until it is resolved. I deal daily with government agencies in my business and am always told not to worry and how easy it will be. All you need is one person with an agenda to screw up the process. Get it taken care of now.
