Fleetside Pics??

[apache200]

I am searching for a thread with a 58 59 fleetside on the forum. It is lime green and i think the guy only has the bed and front cradle painted. Thank You for the help

Spike,
Did a search and found your truck. Impressive as hell. Are you a previously experienced auto painter or is the vocational class your only experience? If so, you've got chops. VERY nice Viper green

is there anyplace that makes aftermarket bedsides for the 58-59....the fleetside version???

also, can a 59 chevy grille be swapped onto a 59 GMC?

sadly, no. unfortunate too, because they would also fit panel truck quarters too.

thanks Dan, I am experianced only in that i am a hobbyist and have painted about 10 cars in the last 25 years.I take the voc class to help keep me going on my project and to use the spray booth. I have flaws in all my paint and body work but would like to think i do a little better each project.I saw the lime green paint on a car last year at back to the fifties car show and the guy was really helpful in letting me have the paint codes,so the next week i bought the paint and painted the box,and have slowly been priming and sanding the rest of the truck.Hope to get it all painted in the next 2 months.Thanks Mike

Gimme a few day, gotta search for it in my stuff. I MAY have a set hiding somewhere. I heard that the LED option you don't need the buckets ( I don't know how true that is though)
