    I'm thinking 2" of lift, 31's, bumpers and rocker rust removal probably with custom rectangular sliders.

    I have one headlight bezel in the garage and a grill that is perfect, no dents.
    I have been watching ebay for a bunch of stuff.
    I would love to find a half cab for it.

    Lookin good. Are those 33x12.50's? I tried to test fit my dads 31x10.50's and they hit fender in the rear.. I think ill end up going the Alcan route eventually.

    They are a 305/70R16 - they would not fit on my '51 as the wheel well was too small.

    Finally got the brakes bled, still pulls to the right something fierce.. gotta figure that out.
    Also changed both rear U-joints, and the oil. Also swapped the grill out, that twisted front bumper will be the next to go..
