I found a 58 through a friend and when i moved back to Utah, I bought a house and started back up on the truck.

This one is also in really good shape. Much better than my last one. I got it from a guy that got it from Washington. This was a National Guard truck. Its been painted five different colors that ive seen so far. Here are some pictures of the bad areas. The brown in the pictures are from the paint.

Its got the 6 cyl engine in it but my old man got me a 350 for $200 when I looked up the number on the block it came up with a corvette website. It came out of a van.
I know you're not asking but what the hell:

My '55's dash only had two additional holes for slightly differently spaced radio knobs and I welded in replacement metal to make it appear stock. In hindsight I wish I'd bought the totally smooth repalkcemet dash and gotten rid of all my dash holes in eluding the heater controls then moved my Vintage Air AC controls to where the original ash tray was. With the giant hole in your dash it'd be easy to justify.
