A few more progress updates: got the doors painted and hung. Also got the trim back on. Then started in on the bedsides. Had a buddy that does sheet metal French in my 59 caddy tail lights.

Once he got done with the tail lights, I figured it still needed more, so I went ahead and swapped out the wheel arches for a set off of a 61 bel air. :devil:

Got the wheel arch finished up. Also made some trim rings out of stainless rod for the tail lights. I'll probably get those welded in this weekend and get the rest of the bed side in primer. If my measurements are right, the sweep on the wheel arch should end right about where the front edge of the bumper wraps around the side of the bed.

Re: My 64 Project
Looking good and it's cool to see some mods that are outside of the ones normally seen. Keep at it!

Got a little bit more done on here. Moving a bit slower with the cold and the holidays, but still trying to keep moving forward. Got the passenger side finished up and the trim rings for the tail lights tacked on. Started on the drivers side wheel arch and some rust repair as well. Got it mostly roughed in today. Now just need to start filling and sanding. Bondo and paint make me the body man I ain't!

Making a little more progress on this when the weather cooperates. Got everything painted last night and will be trying to get the bed assembled this weekend and hopefully set it on the truck again before next week. A few more pictures of the progress:

Busy busy busy weekend. Got the bed assembled and mounted back on the truck. Absolutely in love with how it turned out. Now to fab up the mounts for the bumper and get a few other odds and ends buttoned up. Also have a set of white walls inbound, so I'll ne changing up the wheel/tire look as well.

A++ on the SS tail-light bezel idea. Bumper from the same source or different model?

Looking good...I’m ready to see some good side shots to get the full feel of those new rear bedsides!

Thanks for the compliments guys! Little weekend update, got a little bit done but not much. Working on fabbing up the bumper brackets still. Got one done, and got the other ready to cut. This has been a challenge getting everything to work, but hopefully I've got it figured out. Once they're together I'll throw some por15 on them and some paint and bolt everything together finally!

This truck has been kicking my ass today, so instead of fighting it more, I'll make another progress post. Got the bumper finally hung, but will need to brace the brackets due to a little more play than I would prefer. Also got the tail lights installed. Need to get them wired in now. Not sure what the deal is with the pictures. Anyone know if there's a way to rotate them once attached?

A few other odds and ends knocked out: hit the floor with some por15 to make sure its adequately sealed up before I throw a floor mat over it. Got a set of fog lights from a coworker and mounted them up. Not sure if they'll stay or wind up going on my other 66. Also finally got some of my white walls mounted up and on the truck. Changes the whole dynamic drastically and I absolutely love it! Also got some 6x9 brackets mounted in the cab so I can have some tunes once I finally am able to start cruising.
