Here is my 59 Single Cab...

yeah... so Greg from Vintage Warehouse brought this down from oregon for me a few weeks ago... kinda stared at it for a bit while my trans was getting built...

but here are some pics.... its not a perfectly clean SC but its good enough to run while i fix it up...

so i am planning on a 4" narrowed disc beam and a 3:88 rear trans with T3 conversion... got all my parts already just looking to put it together over the next few weks... i just need to track down new brake lines and a few other odds and ends...

here are some pics....

on the trailer coming from oregon.. love these pics.. you might notice the other 59 SC that was sold to Rame... I had to buy both to get the one i wanted.. but Rame got a killer deal on his....

my OG 40 horse thats going in it

my beam

so... we had to modify the front nose cone due to the adapter for the front mount... took the backup light hole and welded it shut... and i also had to modify the mount a bit so it could mount flush...

before and after pics...

I got all my tires just need to mount the rears 165/45's up front and 195/65's for the rear

just cant wait to get it on the ground!!!!

Looks good so far. What did you use to weld the nose cone with?

Man one of these days I am going to have to stop by and check out both yours and DJ's trucks :dance:

did a last minute thing this morning.. Mono called and asked if i was busy.. and of course i wasnt... so we did my box raise!!!

I cut the steering column to get it out and will be shortening it the 1.5 in that the box was raised...

Thanks again Mono.. you rock... made it seem so easy...

and rame definately has his hands full.. but he is capable and has done alot already... his ride looks better than mine in some plces.. and vise versa...
