Long time Trucker newbie to the site - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Kateaux · 09-14-2007, 08:18 AM

Hello,
Love the site!

Will be a valuable resource for my build. I am currently building a '58 Stepside. Converting front sheetmetal to a 55-56. This will be a conservative build for me as I plan to make this more of a driver than what I have built in the past.
Also have a 1971 Custom/10 LWB Fleetside w/Air. Plan to shorten and change bed to Stepside. Recently acquired a '70 bed in good condition. This has been my "Home Depot" truck for about 10 years. This project will have to wait until the '58 gets done.
