Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
Thanks for the comments guys. It seems as I get older they take a lot longer to do. One other thing thoughts on painting the whole cab instead of just the inside. It's a stock chevy silverado dark brown and the only thing I worry about is color match painting things at different times. I guess the worse thing that could happen is paint match. Steve

I am going to get this thread up to date. In May I painted the inside of the cab. It was pretty hard reaching into all the areas with hitting something but got it done. Here are some pics Steve

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
that looks really good, nice job. keep the pics coming, its great to see forward motion on a project and really good to see it when the parts get put together for the final time.

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
Looking great. Final assembly is the best.

Somehow missed your response back all the way back in February. Caught back up on your build, great job on your painting skills in your home garage. What type paint single stage? Clear coat / base coat? Thinking about trying to do it in the home garage also. Thanks JT from SC |

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
nce job!
I like the way you have the dark color "stripe" on the upper body line. that breaks itup very nicely in my opinion. keep on posting the progress, it keeps us slackers interested. i actually had time between other jobs to do a little work on my 57 the last few days,. been awhile. |
Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
man, i gotta proof read a little before hitting post. it seems like I mess up a lot typing this stuff up. fat fingers.

I started to work on the inside of the cab and core support. I put down some fat mat on the floor, back wall, firewall and kick panels. I want to put it on the roof where the headliner goes put not sure it will stick good. Got the Vintage Air box installed, radio, wiper motor and transmissions and started running hose for the heater and a/c. Little bit at a time. Steve

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
Nice job! Looks clean, intentional, and professional.

Hi, Making some more progress on the 57 pickup project. Got a lot of the wiring done, decided where the PCM, TAC module and relay center will live. Installed the steering column, almost done with the vintage air install, started making brake lines and battery cables. I should be able to power up the truck and see if I can communicate with the PCM, see if the fuel pump has its 2 second prime and run the fans. Getting closer all the time. The ligh is getting brighter at the end of the tunnel. Steve

Some more progress pictures of my project. Test fit the steering wheel after, finished making battery cables, brake lines and made the aluminum panels for under the back window which will get covered with carpet. Getting closer. Steve

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
Looking great. I’m in the same assembly phase with my build. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my back wall. I may be borrowing your idea. I like it. Keep up the pace. You’ll be done before the thaw!

Got a few more things going on my project. Put the vent windows and door glass in, finished the fuel lines and began mocking up the exhaust. Steve

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
looks great, nice and clean.
don't forget to leave room for some heat shielding in the gas tank and fuel line areas. |
Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
will you use stepped band clamps to hold it all together so it can be taken apart for maintenance or repairs of nearby stuff?

Re: 57 Fleetside C4 build
Just read the whole thread.
Amazing work in such a “short” time. You make the conversion to C4 suspension look easy! Real craftsmanship here! I also like the two-tone colorcombination, great choice. Tag along for the rest to come…. |
