Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
Thanks guys.. Its looking like a Cab again.

Today I workt on some new brackets for my rear lights, don't like the original chrome brackets,they are to sticking to far out of the car, I want them closer to the bed.. And I changed the bushings from the 2 cab shackels and powdercoat them black..
Next thing I am going to do is make some new brackets for the rear chrome bumper..
Here are some pic's..
I know you guys get angry if there are no pictures..

Starting to look like a truck again. Front end alignment of panels is rough, but I'm sure you will work it out...Jim
