Re: 53 3100 - complete rebuild and upgrade . . . .
Thanks, joedoh. A few more little pics to throw out -
After fully removing the toe board started making the patch. I'm using steel plate (~1/8") for the toe boards and fire wall for the rigidity; I'll use 16 ga for the tunnel and other plans.
Wheels (front) showed up. I decided on smoothie steel wheels; I think they match the look of the 50's trucks best IMO. 18x8 front with 4-1/2" BS. Rear will be 20x11 with 6" BS, but still waiting on them. I grabbed the US Wheel smoothies (bare, I'll have them powder coated) and was super stoked to discover they actually come with the center caps. Of course, I had to slap them on, but can't tell much without the fenders.
More later, thanks for looking -
Dan
