    Hub Cap Chevy Emblems

    I have been trying to improve the look of my original hub caps. I finally have 4 pretty good ones. I thought I saw a vendor somewhere that sold a set of stickers that could be used for the four black bow ties on each hub cap. However, I cannot seem to find an appropriate source now. Does...

    Power Steering Options

    Bobby57, Did you just add a Toyota steering box, or did you add the entire CPP kit?

    Power Steering Options

    P.S. I already have a power steering pump in place, it is just not being used at the moment.

    Power Steering Options

    OK, I am still looking for power steering options for a modified 1959 1/2 ton truck. I've read several threads about various IFS kits (I really like this but do not like the cost or the work involved). I've read several threads about using a late model camaro subframe (again, the work...

    New guy in Pensacola

    First: Thank you for your service. Second: Your truck looks very nice so far. I am jealous of the interior work you have done. I want to get going on my interior but I need to get the IFS and AC installed first. I intend for this truck to be my daily driver when my current lease is up...

    Some Items I did to my 59 Apache

    Were there any fender fitment issues when you went to the 55 cab? Did the 59 fenders fit the cab and do both cabs use the same mounting points? I really like the big back window, and there are some 59 cabs available, but I suspect I could get a better deal if I could look for a wider range...

    That is a great idea and it looks really nice. I will keep this in mind when itis time to change my headliner.

    Belt System

    I did the same thing with a March system. Considering that I plan to use this truck as a daily driver, I probably should have looked at the less shinny versions. I have a lot of chrome and billet aluminum to keep clean now.

    Seat Belts

    Hey, Thanks for the power steering pics and the closer pics of the seat belts. I'm going to do some more research on this. I will second the comments about good job. I wish mine was as far along as yours. Good Job!

    Seat Belts

    Tell me more about the Toyota Kit. I was planning a Mustang II IFS with power steering, but I might be swayed to retain the old straight axle if this Toyota Kit will give me Power Steering on a straight axle.

    Brake Light Issue

    I suspected poor grounding but really did not know how to fix that issue. Should I just add a wire to connect the black wire on each light directly to the chassis?

    Brake Light Issue

    I finally got the correct lights that fit the rear fender for my original truck. So, I replaced the lights this weekend. Now I have a problem: With the lights off, when I hit the brakes, both elements of the 1157 bulb lights (this is OK for daytime driving but I do not think it is correct)...

    Oil bath

    My local auto parts store, O'Rileys, told me that it is the filter used on most small tractors. Unfortunately, I do not remember the part number.

    Line Drawing or Vector Image

    I am looking for a good Line Drawing or Vector Image of a 1959 Chevy Fleet Side truck (Short Bed preferred but not necessary). I want to pull this into Photoshop and start playing with Color combinations so a angled view of the front and one side qould be best. However, I'll accept anything...

    Anyone Have Rear Leaf Springs

    Now why didn't I think of doing a search. Thanks for the pointer, I'll try to be more awake in the future. Thanks again!
