I got lucky, right after I bought the truck I started looking for a door and there was an ad on Craigslist from a guy that was parting out a 59. All that was left was the cab and some odds and ends but I got everything I needed. That doesn't happen very often.

Got more stuff put on and the rust in the fender cut out and patched. Now I’m going to go ahead and start wiring; just needed an inner fender to run the wiring on first.1 Corinthians 1:27

It's looking great, I love the Flathead with the Dakota clip! Are you thinking about re shooting the outside yet?Seth

Thanks. I don’t think so; I think I’ll stick with the beater look on this one. Just want to make it a solid driver.1 Corinthians 1:27

Finished up the wiring and everything works. Now I just have to wrap it. It worked out good using the Dakota harness. The old Motorola radio was in a box in the back when I bought the truck; I think it makes a cool prop. I’m going to hide a radio in the glovebox so there’s nothing modern looking on the dash. Next if going to put the exhaust back on, then the fender and start fixing up the passenger door.1 Corinthians 1:27

There are companies making retro radios with modern guts.
A little pricey, but hey since you've saved so much scratch by only changing the hubcaps and floor mats, why not?.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I had to edit that post twice to fix the computer's spell check changes. When will I learn to proof read? How do I turn off the spell check?.
