Re: 55 Chevy Truck Build...Finally

Where did you get your light, wiper and starter switch? I have been looking and haven’t found anything like what you have. Looks nice!

Re: 55 Chevy Truck Build...Finally

Interior almost done, just need to trim under dash A/C panels as we didn't take into account the kickpanels when we fit them.

Congrats on the top truck award. Your truck definitely earns that award. I can’t wait to get there myself!

Re: 55 Chevy Truck Build...Finally

This week was Goodguys at Scottsdale. So much fun seeing the rides and talking to people. Then on Saturday a judge stopped by and blew me away. What an honor and a great experience and feeling!
