bluebanshee Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Panels are slowly working their way onto the truck. Everything is just snugged at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 That is going to be one nice looking truck! I looked long and hard at a 57 with a poly ....... in the end it was just too much of a rust bucket for me. Enjoy it.....you hardly ever see one.

bluebanshee Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Got the doors closing nicely with acceptable fender to door gaps. Few more bolts to tighten up and its ready for the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Leibhart Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I will second or third that. Really going to be impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hood fits pretty good but tail gate will need some persuasion to close nicely. Tailgate should be bolted up and hopefully have some brackets done this weekend for the rear bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebanshee Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Just need to finish up a few small things and it is ready for the road. Bed is nearly bolted down. I went with composite decking and all stainless strips and hardware. Edited June 19, 2015 by bluebanshee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Finally got the truck on the road and racked up 150 miles over the weekend. Runs well and pulls to 70mph easily enough and holds about 2,000 rpm at that speed. Should do over 100 but don't think it will ever see those speeds. Brakes are getting bedded nicely and stop pretty well. Averaged 14mpg but I think it would get 15-17 with minimal effort.

HanksB3B Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Beautiful build and paint job. Excellent time it's only been 12 months since you started. Pretty darn good if you ask me, Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruff1148kr Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Looks great! love the front of that truck, looks mean great job on the composite decking, that was my first choice but I chickened out. never found something I liked yours looks great. I am having my share of door gap problems will wake till I have it on hard level surface with more room than the tent I work in. Love the color , not a lot of trucks that color make it unique .. Fantastic job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
