53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

Our 53 Chevy truck is on the road. Still a few more things to finish up, but it is licensed and safety inspected. I am finding the front a little low (front bumper is about 5" above the road).

Thanks. It is our first project this big, took us about 3 years (we are not fast LOL)

Congratulations, looks great.

First time I have seen those Corvette wheels on an AD, they look really good.

Re: 53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

Thanks. I lucked out on the Corvette alloy wheels. Truck came with Corvette rally rims which I sold for $500 and bought the Corvette alloy wheels in great condition for $500. My deals don't usually work out that good. :lol:

Pictures look great and show a nice stance. As long as you can fit a beer can under the front bumper should be good right?!

Thanks. I have running board brackets that have a vertical piece hanging down. When my truck was on the four post lift to get the dual exhaust, the running board brackets got stuck on the top of the ramp for the four post lift.

The height of the truck is not bad driving down the road, but a bit of a pain when jacking it up or getting onto a lift with ramps.

Looks great, congrats. More low > less low.
That's always my feeling.

Enjoy

Awesome truck. Great color combo.

Great looking truck. I dig the fog lights!

Re: 53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

Thanks for all the comments guys. This was our first project with this level of work required (truck was down to the bare frame). Lots of fabrication.

Congrats nice looking ride...Jim

I was surprised when I first finished my truck and discovered my 5-inch-high bumper wouldn't get out my own driveway. Talk about building oneself into a corner!

Re: 53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

That's a nice truck. Congratulations on getting it on the road!

Re: 53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

Thanks Jim. Not sure if you remember, but you helped me out with a few questions a couple years ago. Your truck was an inspiration (but it will take about 10 more projects to get near your quality of truck)

Re: 53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

If I recall it was a couple years back, about welding up the hood. Thanks for the compliment, don't cut yourself short, you did great work on your truck...Jim

Re: 53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

The bottom of my bumper has a lot of scrap marks from when the front was really low.

That was after we got hung up on a grocery store driveway in Bountiful Utah on the way to the Chevy--Gmc Trucking nationals in Ogden that year.

This was the first Saturday of October in 1982. At the Vintiques UN Run.

Thanks Jim. the welded up hood came out great.

Re: 53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

Not many trucks can pull off those corvette wheels, but yours does it fantastically!

Re: 53 Chevy Truck is on the Road
 

I like your truck for several reasons, but the lights in bumper, set it off. Great job.:c2:
