57 Chevy Truck Do Over

[Madhorn]

Made some progress on the front front light harness. Head lights are complete. Waiting on new turn signal light assemblies to finish up front. Also had time to run the tail light harness to the rear of the truck.

Always wanted a 4x4 version of a 55-57

Same here. They look way cooler than any other truck. Saw one a couple weeks ago, probably had a 4 inch lift, 35's, it was cool to see.

Liking the rewire job. And that patch panel next to the brake booster turned out great.

rear spring mounts removed to press out old bushings. No rubber bushings in this set up.

@Madhorn Good job Ken, easy peasy, huh. Just a little road block, but you got it done!!!

The rivets attaching the mounts to the frame were a booger to get out. Not much space to swing a hammer. Will replace them grade 8 bolts.

 

[idahovette]

UH.....maybe NOT so easy peasy~!!! That is tight back there!!

I purchased an air hammer thinking it would zip the river heads off. Nope, had to cut the river heads off with die grinder, then beat the rest of the rivet out with a hammer and punch.
