Hey Denny, if you have the time I'd love to see what some of these 59 caddy tail lights would look like on my ford f1. Falcon has a thread called "need some help", on which Don posted a truck with 59 caddy tail lights. Here's a link to the lights

Heres a shot of my truck from behind. Also like to see the truck in red! Just a request, but if you'd like, just tell me how you do what you do!:)

now i have a 1948 dodge truck and i plan to lower it and run a buick 350 with a th350 tranny and a ford 9". have any ideas for me denny???? :) i would like to chop the top 4" but its alot of work and i might not have the skills
You da man Denny. Seriously thanks!:) Steve.
I love those Caddy tail lights! Look like miny flame throwers! Also a first line defence to rear ending, since with the roll pan no bumper back there! I might just go with them! Here is a pick of a deep red f1 that I really like the color of, found this one online somewhere!

Or this one hard choice. The first has an older look to it, the second more peppy!:LOL:

well here what my dodge looks like this pic is not mine but its to give you an idea what a 48 dodge looks like i guess
here is one with a newer dodge dakota grill in it
here is a side veiw Denny, this one is a short box 5 window cab where mine is a long box 3 window cab. but can you use this side view?
sorry steve i don't mean to take over your thread but seeing your trucks body style is kinda like mine since their both 48's
Not at all speedy. I love old trucks, any kind. That Dodge looks beefy! It must weigh a ton(several actually):D
i don't like the rear fenders on the dodge since they remind me of a trailer fender. thinking of use 60's dodge fenders simular to steves rear fenders on his truck to get the box to match the cab and front clip.
yeah its heavy its all origonal with the flathead L6 and 4spd and its a 3/4 ton
Speedy
The fenders on my truck are off a newer model of something. I'll ask the previous owner. The are also not what will be on the truck when completed. So those fenders are availible if you'd like them. Too bad your not in CA. I'd give them to you. They are huge and would be not worth the cost of postage to mail. I recently found a mint original seat for my truck, but it was in Il. The cost of the seat was 150, cheap! The cost to ship it here was 250.00!
i like the grill in this one alot but don't know what its from?
That grill looks custom to me, but I'm an ammateur!:eek:
I use to work for one of my friends dad in a junk yard and he's got a late 60's dodge with a stepside box i might get the whole box or just the fenders.Quote:

They make a lot of aftermarket billet stuff for old trucks, not too much for our years but stuff that could be modified.
Try these guys http://webapp.streetbeatcustoms.com/...ll&Options=All
that looks good but can you lower the ride hieght at all and strip the front bumper? get them wheels tucked into the wheel wells? how do you do that? do you have some sort of program? maybe make the truck all black?Quote:
