those custom cabs are sweet, are both corner windows good. They've got to be hard to find. What are you're plans fenders,chop, etc. ?

Great Looking TRUCK, for the year. I had one 40 years ago. Wish I still had it

What stupid kid I was... Swapped it for a 57 chevy 4dr sedan & a 57 vw bug. Boy did I get screw'd.
Good Luck with it.

I've always liked the 5 window truck, but I don't ever recall seeing one chopped. Anyone else?

Nice looking truck! Love the colors. i hope your gonna keep them!
I have seen a 5 window chopped once. it looked really cool. Im sure that was a huge pain to get that corner glass though

Not really. AD trucks are still dime-a-dozen. Tri-five Chevies certainly aren't (even more-doors), and that '57 VW is worth a pile of cash now...

Continuation of my build
Well I finally got the truck home. I hope to have some pic soon so you guys can follow. Here's my plans. No chopping as much as a love a chopped RR I can't bring myself to destroy those perfect corner windows just too nice. I am gonna do something weird with the missing headlight. Maybe fabbing a 40 willys war time light with the slit into it. If I can find one (let me know if you have 1). Trying to give it a winking apperance. I definatly going to lower it. I k ow where some good half moon bow ties are sitting right now. (That really pains this mopar guy to say that). When I change the suspension over I'd like to put a 9" ford in the back with disc brakes in the front (hey I occasionally like to stop) on drop spindles or keep the front and flip the leaf springs. Paint nothing more than clear coat after the mode are done. I love the black on red. Maybe a weathered sign on the door. You tn guys let me know someone in the area that can do it. I'm a maintenance man by trade definately no painter. I would love any advice or ideas you guys have. Feel free to contact me and you tn guy i'd love to get together and talk cars.
