56 Chev Garage build

[Rude Dude]

I am seriously thinking of going with no chrome like this truck, remember this is going to be a daily driver! I am getting old and my polishing of chrome days are behind me now that is the reason why my harley davidson dyna low rider is down I am powder coating that bad boy. Before I sold my Road King Classic I was in the same boat polishing polishing, so now I just want paint!

Your truck is lookin' good. All that work on the steering column seems to have paid off. I hear ya on the "no polishing". Let me know if you figure out a solution for "no washing" and "no vacuuming". Also the blue TF that you posted, in my opinion has the perfect stance.

Hey Rude dude, not sure if I overlooked it or what, but what year and make did your steering wheel come from?
The PO of my truck had a little tiny Grant steering wheel and that ain't gonna cut it.
Also, where did you get your steering column mount from? Looking at going the same route as you did on the tilt steering out of a van.
Oh yeah, what brake booster setup are you using? I have a camaro clip but the camaro booster is WAY too big for the firewall.
Your trucks coming along nicely!!!!
Thanks

Bought it from importer at Pomona Swap Meet paid $225 it a small version of 55-56 Chevy Bel Air, Made in China speedway carries them but cheaper at swap meet.

Read early post on my build column is 1974 to 81 Chevy Van. I think after 82 or 83 they put the key in column.

Booster is generic street rod booster that fits the corvette master cylinder available from most aftermarket street rod magazines , I think speedway sells them, J&W hot rod parts, Yoogi's all of them carry it.

Thanks for the info. Found the steering column info in your build, overlooked it earlier.
