Incredible build only thing I would possibly consider is a luxury car seat set with the AC perforations you could be as cool as a cucumber in the summer.
One good looking MoFo! In the 60’s I used to go to the Pearl River Swamp and a friends uncle had several of these. They ran chains on all 4 wheels and it was amazing to watch them come past us and keep going no matter what, churning military tires and chains and watching them get up off the seat in deep water! Wish I had footage of that!
Is the 6"x9" door on the bed side a pass thru all the way to the door on the other side to store a pole or high lift jack, maybe an air tank and coiled hose? What is the thing on the tailgate, a bracket for some kind of storage box maybe for the top? Is the box beside the tire on the other side maybe a tool box with the hinged top cover and front that lowers down into a small shelf and tool box with drawers? As you know, all kinds of little things on here. Tell us about them, we won't be bored. Great ideas for others to try.
The doors on the sides on the original chassis did pass through but with the change in chassis no longer do. I am planning to use 50 caliber cans to create small storage boxes. The center box was created using a damaged doner box; the right side has the battery and a tender and the left is storage only.
Looks great! I have a '52 and want to restomod it very similar to yours. Are those stock gauges? I'm missing all of them and want original or similar gauges.
