Re: 1953 Extended Cab
Had the pleasure of meeting crestonwizard yesterday and looking at his projects. The photos he's posted of the 53 extended cab don't show the detail and workmanship that you see in person. This will be an amazing truck when finished and on the road.

Re: 1953 Extended Cab
Looking good! Which 6.0 did you start with? I'm in the process of deciding which way to go on mine. Either a pullout LQ4 and rebuild or pullout Camaro SS LS3 drop in and run as is.
