Old Iron New rubber race is on with • 57 Chevy truck on a 20...
Russ, one lesson I learned the hard way is to label every wire using a label maker made for marking wires with the heat shrink tube that the label maker prints on ( very important for longevity ) reason no 1 you are not going to remember things that you would need to know if you have a problem... Reason 2 when combining harness from different manufacturers you can NOT rely on wire colors. Reason no3 these old trucks with 3 different harnesses made by different companys don't have one wiring diagram to reference. the labels become your wiring diagram. Reason no4 you may have for example 4 wires that requie B+ but the wires are 4 different colors that can be confusing . reason no5 You will make easy correctable mistakes with every wire marked properly Reason no6 ,if it takes you a few weeks to do this job it is very easy to pick up were you left off ... best of luck don't be intimidated.
Do you have one of the label makers like that or a link that I could find one?

@@russellmcconahay7297 , I would look on Amazon there are a lot to choose from ( Label makers for wiring) the nice thing about amazon is you can read the reviews, and if your not happy you can send it back. I have had Epson / p touch / they both work well . I have used real professional ones that were owned by electrical contractors that I worked with. They are heavy duty, and have more capabilities, and they’re just designed to print on heat shrink tubing / industrial type labels ( better adhesive) Once you have one you’ll label all kinds of things it’s very helpful.
Looking good! I would ditch the spare tire fender and go with smooth fenders, just makes it look cleaner in my opinion. Color is a tricky one and totally up to the owner, but I think that 57 would look dynamite in pretty much any color. Spray booth I can offer some advice on (painting for about 35 years), I wouldn't go with a permanent type booth unless you were planning on painting vehicles pretty regularly. I don't even think I'd invest in a blow up booth for one vehicle, I would frame up a temporary enclosure with wood and then staple poly to it. Ventilation and dust control are the biggest pain to overcome but a few furnace filters in one end and a couple of cheap box fans in the other should move the overspray out. Couple of temp lights shining down the sides and you're golden.
Best of luck with the project, I think it's going to turn out awesome! 👍
I think I’m leaning towards the smooth fender also. I like the idea of just a temporary booth. I’m gonna have to think about that.
What would you do if humidity is a major issue (I’m in the northwest about to paint my 55)
Paint. I like it the way it sits. It has character and you don't have to worry that it will get scratched. I am sure that I am the only one with this opinion. Thank you for sharing.
Original paint colour, smooth fender.
I think yes, on both of those is the general consensus
1) awesome swap/build. I love these swaps.
2) PSI - I pass their building EVERYDAY. I NEVER knew what was inside. Brick NJ! Cool to see their product in your build, and them literally down the block from me.
Yes I caught it. Enjoying the build. Thanks
Awesome! Thank you!
Vintage Air in San Antonio TX !
My family and I have used their products for years .. excellent choice !
😇❤
Good to hear. It’s on its way.
Genius idea using the whole Tahoe setup. You get the LS and the chassis all setup.
Yeah, I’m excited to drive. The old running gear was a little difficult to drive in today’s world of high speed freeways.
Sky blue,these look great sky blue.
Don’t let my daughter see this comment I might be out of voted.
Smooth fender, I vote dark grey. Your presentation is great, I’ll keep watching.
Dark gray I’ll have to think about that. Thank you.
Wow! Didn't know Champion Radiators would do custom stuff- good to know!
Yeah, they were great
There are a bunch of gear heads out here. Like vice grip garage, thunderhead289, Trents garage and others I watch. I'm a former trucker, now permanently disabled ham radio enthusiast. And homeless and missing what I enjoy because of the injuries. Keep up the work.
Thank you we got lots of work ahead of us
Looking forward to the next episode awesome job
Thanks for joining us
Your channel has a real down home back yard, BarBQ feel. that comes with small mistakes and I love every min. No swearing or throwing tools, all is well cousin!
Thank you brother I wish you could come and eat some burgers with me. I turn on the barbecue maybe find a piece of steak.
Can't wait for the finish. I'm a big fan of Burnt Orange for paint. Good luck.
Thank you we’re doing the Jeep that’s in the corner in the burnt orange. See if you can take a peek at that if it shows up.
Just wanted to say love the truck. My grandfather had a 57 and I always wanted to build a 57 4x4 painted John deer green.
That would be cool!
thanks for sharing this with us it's very interesting
I’m excited to finally get this going. I have had this truck for 30 years.
Just got done watching part one now watching part two appreciate you sharing with us
Thanks for coming along for the journey. Hope I can keep it interesting.
Fun build. You got me thinking! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to watching your progress.
Trying to tear into it one evening at a time
Bless I’m one that like bring them back to original. First, I’d keep the own color. Secondly, I’d mount a, just for looks, reduced size spare on the left rear fender. Thirdly, my father’s ‘56 Chevy panel truck had that rod thru the floorboard for starting. He owned a cleaners in Houston. Thanks 😊
Cool not too many people have seen that starter pedal. Thanks for the suggestion.
Love your project!!! I did this with a 82 blazer. Turned out amazing! Yours will be awesome 😎
Definitely go smooth fender. Truck is looking great.
Thank you the boats are leaning towards your favor.
Nice build coming along. I have always liked 'sand' or tan color when it's paired with metalic brown, or rootbeer brown. I like 2 tone paint jobs. It will be beautiful, whatever you decide. It is so nice to see you have some rolling tables and can use them to lay out your parts and tools when you are working on various cars in various areas of your shop. I love it.
I am getting a lot of boats for the original color
Yeah, I get the tables from Home Depot. I love those things they go up and down addition to a tall standing bench.
Great content , coming along great, sir.
Thank you
loved episode one im so im back for number 2 👍👍
Thanks for coming back. Hope to get a little more doing this week.
Great series. I watched the Rustomod guys doing a 60s stepside C10 onto an Escalade chassis and he fabricated 1.5 inch wide spacers to space the rear fenders out from the bed. It brought the fenders out to be more even with the cab, gave more tire clearance and looks cooler. It would also make the uneven front to rear spacing of the wheel arch less noticeable.
I’ll have to look that up
Coming along great. I’ve always liked those Ivory, Cream colors too.
Those trucks look good in two tone. Some kind of Burgundy or
Green would be a great combo. Chevrolet had a great green back then.
As far as Spray booth goes, unless you plan to paint a bunch of vehicles,
I think I would do a temp thing. Looks like you have a nice big shop, but
You probably wouldn’t use a paint booth all that much. You do nice work
Sir.. looking foreword to next episode...
Do you work in the yard and farm kind of getting away sometimes but we’ll get back at it. Thanks for watching.
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
You bet! We’re having fun. There goes again I am having fun.
I’m loving the build!
Thank you I hope I will enjoy driving it someday and I would like to present to the people the how to and what it takes to get there and that it is doable
Awesome build and your moderation skills are excellent. Makes me want to build one too! Nothing like an old truck.
I’m excited to drive it.
Good work crazy legs
Thanks I am trying. I wish I could get more time in the shop. I’m excited to drive this thing.
IMO I'd build a permanent booth then store stuff in it. IMO a blow up booth would be a hassle but it's just my thoughts. My booth is permanent and I store stuff in it because my shop is kinda small. Good videos, thanks.
Thank you. The booth verdict is still out. If I get the freezer panels for a deal, I may make it permanent.
Smooth fender would look great, I remember the old starters ,thanks for showing how it works
I’m going to miss that pedal on the floor I want to do something with it just for fun maybe make a air horn or something on the pedal.
Great project and the use of the aftermarket harnesses will make the job so much easier in the long run. American Auto Wire is a great product and each wire is labeled to where it goes, also the original Tahoe computer and fuse block are hideous. Best way to set up the AAW harness is to take the time and separate each group of wires and where they go, bundle them for under dash wires, front lighting and horn, engine harness and finally all rear wires. I installed my complete harness in a weekend in my 66 Chevelle. Good luck with the project , I look forward to following along.
Thank you
I may need some coaching when it comes to the wiring. Thank you.
Man that frame looks good If I can find an old body. I mite try this. Looks good. Good idea Keep em going. 👍
Thank you it’s other videos on UA-cam that will give me the courage. I love Fab Rats.
Keep the original tan color--looks great and maintains some history!
I’m thinking the same thing
Your doing a great job on this project. I'm interested in all these swap kits
I hope I can document it well
Great work! This is
My dream build! I’d paint it Tropical Turquoise it a factory 57 color.
I think I know which color that is I need to look it up.
Nice work. This project gives me the fizz, I used to have a 57 with a pretty radical 327 in it! Good times. Sure am envious of your shop and space! Again, really nice work!
Thank you. The shop has been a long time coming. I bought this truck 30 years ago and have tried to work on it and keep it together and finally I have a place. It was a barn, and I basically turned it into a shop.
Me and my boys did most of the work. I hung every piece of insulation and corrugated steel. I have a friend is electrician who help me. I hung the furnaces, plumbed the gas line set up the lift took me almost 2 years.
@@russellmcconahay7297 I hope that your channel takes off and you guys make a pile of money from it. Make that truck real nice. All the best to ya!
I love using the old dash in the swap. It would so funny if you kept the foot starter!
I kind of thought about that and I also thought about maybe making it an air horn or something.
Yeah smooth fender and good luck finding one
Looks like I can get one through a company called Mar-k
Paint is a personal choice.
Yeah, just wanna do it right
Nice work on the 57 makes me want to do another one. I like your lift, I want to pick one up in the near future.
It wasn’t too expensive. You’ll have to look it up. I did the install. It wasn’t bad.
Can l suggest that you put a large back window in the truck. The aftermarket has a complete rear panel which has the big rear window. The bigger rear window looks so much better. I remember seeing the big rear window back in the day and l really liked it!!!
I like them too, but I don’t know if I’m up for that patch.
Color, if it's was me, I would keep the original color. Rear fender, ditch the spare cutout. Paint booth, depends on how much painting you do. A booth takes up more space than you think, I would go with a blowup if your not doing a spraying every month. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for following our progress hopefully will have another bunch of work done and get it out next week
For the paint booth Fitzees Fabrication did a temporary booth in his shop thats easy to setup and teardown might be an option. For the wiring my trick was to lay out the vehicle to scale on the floor with tape then run every wire to the locations needed. It just helped me visualize what I was doing and saved a headache because wiring is a nightmare for me lol love the progress frame looks great!
Thank you for the suggestions. I watched his video. I might do something like that.
Nice 57 I have one as well but I'm planning on swapping it on a short bed square body 4x4. The spare tire mount fender does have the look but yes you would need the deeper pocket fender which also puts the tire a little higher up. I think replacing it with a regular fender would give it a cleaner look and it would be easier to use the under bed mount if you ever had to use the spare. Far as the paint there's lots of choices but with the little bit of color that's on the truck already of the original I think it would look pretty good sticking with the original color.
I’m on the same page check out this one. silodrome.com/chevrolet-3200-napco-4x4-pickup/
Nice truck I have a 67 step side on a 01 Z71 Tahoe I love it
How did you control the four-wheel-drive? Or is it 2 Wheel Dr.?
@@russellmcconahay7297 all the same controllers from the Tahoe
I was thinking about you today at work and it's great seeing the forward progress. I'd stick with the tan color.
Text files thank you for the suggestion. I’m kind of thinking the same.
Looking good buddy!! Thanks for the shoutout!
You bet how’s it going? We should connect off-line somehow and share notes.
Agree with going with the smooth fender.
What do you think of this?
silodrome.com/chevrolet-3200-napco-4x4-pickup/
I like It!!
Thanks for joining me on this journey
this will be a really nice truck , i was trying to tell you that you was putting the wrong plate on there , you didnt here me , i like the tan color , and i would hide the spare tire , be safe friend , see you on the next one
Thanks for the input. Tan and smother finder are winning the vote.
My vote for a hot rod color is always black and I think you’re on the right track to smooth the fender and put the spare underneath. I subscribed today and I’m interested to see how you overcome all the little challenges on this along the way because I’m trying to do something similar with a 57 and a 97 chassis. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, working through the kinks one of the time. The one I’m struggling with right now is how to shift the electronic transfer case in front differential without the factory computer.
@@russellmcconahay7297 when I LS swapping my wife’s 93 Blazer, I discovered the 93 manual shift tcase matched right up and I used it instead of the electronic one. If I was using the electronic I’d have to find somewhere out of sight to put the modern switch. Or you could go down the rabbit hole of learning how the modern switch works so you could wire in old school toggles to do the same thing…
Good stuff 👍. My suggestion for booth would be the harbor freight 12X20 carport. That's what I have my 56 stored in. Perfect amount of room and you would be able to move it wherever and whenever.
Is that a canvas one?
@Russell McConahay no, but it's not as cheap as some of their other stuff, especially if you keep inside that shop so it won't degrade .
I was wondering I was like well there’s still a hole there 😁👍👍 That was funny
Yeah, keep an eye on me. I put things on upside down sometimes.
Very interested, I've a 59 Apache, now on an nineties frame, ford V-10 with a six speed. All apart at the moment. Building a 96 ram at the moment. Your build with custom attachments and new wiring is just amazing to watch. Blow up paint booth, you still have your space afterwards..
Sounds great!
You're coming along pretty well. Unless you're planning on doing a lot of painting, go the cheapest route. The aluminum cladded foam board from the freezer is suitable for the long term. And use warehouse drive-through curtains for the doors.
Yeah, the booth ideas to live in the air and waiting to hear back from the guy who has the freezer panels
Yes sir wireing oh god good luck not a fan of it but looks like a great kit you got .Truck is looking good ,I like the regular rear fenders myself and yes take time for family and friends well done sir great video thank you
Thank you
I enjoy this level of builds. Taking a risk on making one run again and using modern in old technology is the absolute way to go. Older rigs had some metal in the designs of their bodies. One thing that got to me was all of the small metal parts in corners of the cabs and around all the pedals. I'm a large guy and had troubles fitting in them when they were fairly new. Men were on the average a bit shorter in height or as weight goes, most men were more active resulting in slimmer frames themselves. I did build quite a few in my own garage when just a young man in my twenties and this was in the late sixties.
Yeah, I’m hoping I can make this an enjoyable driver
Nice truck!! Put a period correct spare on the fender for the look, then keep your actual spare under the truck as planned. I think that would look sharp!
Thank you I guess I have options
I was telling you that you were using the template but I'm kind of quiet. I guess you didn't hear me! Lol! If you decide to use the roll up tire carrier make sure you lube and maintain it beforehand. I've had 2 that wouldn't lower when I needed them. Out of sight,out of mind.
Thanks for that warning. I appreciate your watching. It’s been fun to put the videos up.
I like the 1957 Turquoise and that tan color . I'd also use af3nderwithout5he cutout.
I will have to look into that
I actually went through the effort to get the spare tire fender for mine and if you want you can have my original smooth fender (I’m in Oregon) one idea is you could get a hard spare tire cover mounted and make it into an emergency road kit that opens - or in my case a mini mobile bar/cigar lounge case. We’re going with an Eastwood color for our project close to a really dark rootbeer, that beige is nice though
So you have a smooth fender what do you want for it
@@russellmcconahay7297 are you in the northwest? You can have it or just cover shipping if you need it that route. It’s got a few dings due to being original. I can send pics and whatnot.
Nice
Thanks
The original color is a sweet color but I also think a baby blueish color would be nice too
Also replace the fender and give it a smooth look Looking good either way you go
What do you think of this truck color with the spare tire? silodrome.com/chevrolet-3200-napco-4x4-pickup/
Your spare tire plan is the way to go.
So you’re saying smooth in their entire underneath?
My stock 1955 is almost undriveable in todays world. No PS, and no PB's. The beauty with the E Z Chassis kit, is that you instantly get a V8, power steering, and power brakes! No reason why it can not become a daily driver! I have purchased both the E Z kit for a C10/K10, and a great running 1987 K10 .But I am looking for a decent 55-59 CHEVY small window cab if you happen to know of one. Keep up the great job, and I will be following your progress!
Thank you I hope I can make the time to get out there and work on it. I’ve had this truck for 30 years and I finally have a shop and a little change in my pocket to be able to order the components I need.
The original color.. based off the VIN .. that you showed would look really good. It's authentic and classy. You can use a herringbone type material to redo the bench seat. Unless you for some reason like leather. But it's a 59.. Apache.. cue off that. Modernized by the frame and drive train etc.. change the fender to eliminate the cut away for the spare. .. do some fab work to open it up to mount a spare. Staying in the restro mode scenario. You haven't mentioned a suspension lift or even body lift. Blow up paint booths are nice. But you have the room... cost is more.. but it depends on how much you paint. Which you will use it for all your painting needs. Better ventilation and heat and air quality... build a good booth.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m still going back-and-forth on the fender thing. What do you mean by herringbone material? As far as the lift I’m going to keep it the right height it currently is for now. It is 5 inches higher than the stock Chevy on this Tahoe frame.
@@russellmcconahay7297 That's a old school cloth material. Very strong didn't come factory. But it was used by those who are not big fans of leather or can be used in conjunction with leather as a insert material. It holds up well for normal wear and tear. You may of heard of it in suit patterns... old saddle blankets.. military uniforms... some probably would call tweed the same thing. But it is a good material for upholstery. It looks good and it holds up very well. I have just never been a fan of leather. Leather looks great... but it requires a lot of maintenance and it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. If you're building a daily driver to me and it's just my opinion is all... a cloth seat is ideal.
Of course I am the guy who gets a truck that has no carpet and cloth seats preferred vinyl otherwise. So I can get in and out and not worry about destroying the interior. Then I can hose it out when I clean it. These new trucks are beautiful. But you have to shower and shave and wear dress clothes and shoes to ride in them !! That's what makes this truck such a great build. It's a truck.
As for the fender... it wouldn't take much to cut it out . Then re-fab the spare tire notch. Just set it back a little further to accommodate the larger tire.... or... go ahead and mount a spare cosmetically which could still be used to limp to where ever to repair / replace the flat. The problem is if you get a wild hair and went from 35's to 37's...
I'll tell you what sir if you don't realize it, with only 2 videos and you have over thousands of scribers with plenty of views you're doing awesome! Love the work on the truck. I like Red... However if that tan is still in good shape, I think about 2 tone it with another color like red lol, It's save on a lot of the paint work. Like to paint you used on your frame, I have used a Rust Olium Rust Reformer spray can, It's similar to what you're using there, I've been very satisfied with the results I just used it to paint a project up and get rid of some rust from coming back and thought I would top code it but never have got around to it yet and it's been set outside for over a year and still looks just like I painted it just the other day, rust still has not come back and still looks good.. I'd suggest some classic styles wheels like " S.S. Wheel 651 Series Rat Rod Chrome and Gloss Black Wheels 651-2960 ". @5:50 🤔 I'm like what the heck are you doing??? 😆 It happens to the best of us... If I may make a suggestion maybe you should look into getting a gimble attachment for whatever kind of camera you're using or phone, if you're worried about the crazy legs with the shake of the video, I'm sure we all can deal with it though. As far as a booth I guess that just depends on what you're planning to paint in the future... If you're planning on painting a lot maybe you should go with something more permanent. Sounds like you got a good idea anyways. Thanks for sharing plan on following already subscribed. 😉👍
Thanks for the suggestions. I will have to look up those wheels. My son has a DJI gimbal and he brought it out to me and I will start using it this week to see if it helps move things out a bit. I’m working on the cab should be getting ready for paint soon.
@@russellmcconahay7297 They're from " US Wheel " they make several different options of steel smoothie type wheels. I believe you can get them in Black, Red, and White just paint or the choice of color with chrome, or you can get them in a matte black or just a raw to paint your own... They have classic style chevy hub caps and trim rings you can get to go with them which it would look awesome with some classic caps... They're a bit pricey, I think for what they are but they definitely a good style fit for that beautiful truck, I suggested the " Rat Rod Style " simple because I believe that's the only one style rim they offer with the right bolt pattern you'll need for that " Tahoe " I mean whatever now lol... You probably know but you'll need at least a 17" rim with 6x5.5" bolt pattern to clear your breaks. They make bigger diameters... I think 20" which I think would definitely be eye catching on that truck. They also have many different width options too.
Painted the original color it will look bad ass👍😎
I’m getting a lot of votes for that.
Love it ,r u running an electrical cooling fan, seems the mechanical fan will interfere with lower. Rad hose .oh n I was yelling that's the mockup cover plate. I think that color on fire wall is to dark. . Butter nut is more 50 s color . Also one has to ask himself ,how many Times will I need a paint booth , iam thinking portable blow up , God bless yall real good.
Thank you. I am leaning towards the blowup booth.
Check to make sure your tyre size will fit up underneath, if you decide to run larger tyres than the tahoe, there may not be room, however, having the tyre underneath and going with the smooth fender, is the way to go. Be safe.
Thank you for the heads up I will do double check
Not keen on the Sand Colour, put your spare Wheel under the Truck, Change the fender GR8 presentation 👍
Those freezer panels would make for a great paint both. You'll only need 2 walls. May e thing about making them movable. If you ever need to use the area for something else or start feeling closed in you could move the walls to open back up. Usebox fans for filtered clean air in and outdoor the shop so 8n winter you don't have cold air in thebooth.
the booth. When using the other use 2"pvc pipe for the ceiling joists with clear plastic pulled over the top. Just some ideas to help you. Keep Maki g those videos...I'm a new sub and love the chassis swaps like this.
Yeah, still waiting to see if I can get the panels
FYI- many older worn GM keys may operate the ignition switch, and/or doors. Use the underside spare mount, and that spare tire fender is a rare piece.
So what’s your opinion keep the spare tire fender and put a spare tire in there?
@@russellmcconahay7297 If one would fit, yes. If not, swap the fender.
Smooth out that rear fender and use the Tahoe spare tire carrier. Route the fuel fill to the back side of the outer fender. Don't mount a fuel filler in the floor of the bed. Makes the bed unusable for a lot of things. Or it would be really trick if you could plumb it up to the original location in the cab corner. As for color... I like what you started with. You don't see that color much anymore.
I’m with you I really wanna use the original filler, but I don’t know how to make the gas flow uphill to get into the tank.
@@russellmcconahay7297 I wonder if the pickup tanks would mount into the tahoe frame. That would get the fill neck off the tank on the front side and maybe easier to route up to the original fill spot...maybe???
i like what you are doing here and will be following along to see how you work all of the little detail out, so it will be easier for me and my future project.
Silver and Maroon
Maroon is one of my favorite colors
Cool build , the front end - door gaps and everything sure lines up good, did you have to work at it to get it that way
Yes, I worked on it quite a bit. It’s been a long time but I did work and trim and grinding. Adjust to make it work right but I think it’ll be worth it.
To start the 57 you would pull the E brake, put the transmission in neutral, pull the hand choke, pull the hand throttle, pump it a couple times, then push the starter button. One foot needed, push the clutch on cold days for easier cold starting.
That was a little too accurate. I think you’ve been there and done that.
I caught you, but you could not hear me screaming.
Hey Russsel, I like what you have going on here. I did almost the same thin myself. I put my 57 Bel Air wagon on Blazer 4x4 chassis. It is only a 4.3l. But there is plenty of room for the 5.7 I have sitting in the shop. I did my swap in 97 and Everybody told me I just ruined the car. that I paid $750.00 for. Now 25 yrs later every body wants it or they want to do a chassis swap. I was really pretty easy, but I spent about 6 months gettin it together. Glad to see you doing a similar swap. I'm thinkin " Great Minds Think Alike", whadya think?
Sounds like a great project. I’d like to see pictures.
I think itd be cool to do two tone with main color a more modern color like ford silver or blue, and second color for top of cab, steps, and fenders make them a classic black
I’d have to see something like that before I tried it.
Hot Wheel blue metallic!
Hmmm hmmm. Hmmm.
It would be sweet if they had a kit for obs ford 80-96 my 81 f150 short bed has the same wheel base
Sea foam green
I need to look carefully at the cooler
A charcoal color would look great
I can see that color on it. I think you on the same thing
Yeah was wondering why you were using template with the hole you were trying to cover!
Just had a brain cramp
I dont recall, did you say which IDIDIT steering column you used?
Great videos and watching your new ones too!
Non painted with tilt
That was interesting to learn! I have a 63 C10 Step side will a Tahoe frame work?
I would contact E-Z Swap and see if he has a kit for that but I think he does
I would stick to a 55-61 color of any domestic flavor. As far as paint booth, how often are you going to paint cars? Some places may even rent a paint booth for the morning or day especially on a saturday. I have a wrecked tahoe 4x4 I bought for the LS now I may have to look for a 55-66 GM pu to do this with. Great content.
Thank you I’m trying to just document how it’s done so others can do it
I was unable to find a lot of information how it was done, so I’m trying to do a step-by-step instructions type video
I'll do it a tombstone.. I put the chain on the roof down the side of the truck and do a white hood and white bed side!!! It looks nice what you got done... PS. Where did you get your kit for the body swap I would like to know please..p s. I have learned from experience that spare tire hanger does rust inside and you can't get it to come down. If you put a custom roll bar in his truck which would be the cat's meow you can denounce your spare tire to the robar. About to paint booth.. get a Amish built shed big enough to be a paint booth
e-zchassisswaps.com/
i would have to figure a way to mount the old starter button thats the original push to start. even if it didn't do starter would retain it for looks
