Well, I pulled the trigger on the 57. It will take some "fitment" work to make it go together as the cab is original and in pretty good shape, the doors have one small dent between the two of them, and ALL the other body and bed parts are new from LMC.

Before you go off on me for all the new parts, I have been told of the fitment issues and I swear I will get through them. I'm fitting a new firewall to the 54 right now and I know that it didn't "drop right in" and fit, in fact I have already reworked the two lower rounded corners to make it fit the kick panels.

I will get pictures this weekend when I pick it up. I'll post them here for the time being.

It still needs a name, and I will start a build thread as soon as I finish the 54. Also, I was asked "how much"? I paid 8000 for it, titled on the 79 frame.

I found a bare frame for it and will pick it up next week.

The only real problem I see is that it isn't titled as a 57. Obviously, this won't be a resale truck as it is for ME, so I just want to title it as a 57. I would rather not do a "bonded title" or even title it as a kit car.

So, I'm looking for ideas on how to title it as a 57.

I've read on the Vermont title system, but they have stopped doing it for out of state people, so it won't work.

However, if anybody has a lead on a cheap truck I can buy for the title, please let me know.

Thanks
