Good progress this weekend. Some welding of holes and striping off paint down to the factory white color. Only repainted once and not a great job so the paint is coming off pretty easy. Pulled the rear bumper. Prepped the metal and put one decent coat of primer on it for now. More coats later to block out. This thing must have had a few mirrors on it over the years. Can't believe how many holes were on the door. The tops of bed are the same. Good work truck I guess. Welding up the stake bed holes as well for a little more of a custom look. I'll install some hoops inside the bed for hooking onto.

Great project love the pics.
re the  rear checker plate bumper,  are they home brew or was somebody selling them. I have an identical one on my 56?

Think that's aftermarket Stu. You see a lot of those around here.

They were often a dealer option. Used to see them with the dealer's name stamped into them. Chuck

Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

I'm just glad the bumper wasn't attached to the body like so many of them are. The bumpers are always bent and if attached to the main body will jack up the bed sides too. This ones has nice straight sides, so far ha ha. Only one tiny spot of filler. Since it was repainted, I could tell they had welded up a bunch of holes in the past before the repaint.

thanks for replies.
might clean mine up and reinstate, if its sort of period correct. adds a bit of weight out back.

Drivers door is all striped down now, ready to prep for paint. Still welding holes up as well. Passenger side next then front and rear windows. Windshield needs replaced anyway and it will make for a much better paint job with all those things out of the way. I'm super picky when it comes to painting, a little extra time spent on removing things makes the final result much, much better.

what kind of trans was in your truck

Bumpers are pulled, all the glass is pulled. Drivers door striped and primed. Pass door gutted. Have more welding to do and much more prep to get ready for paint, but making good progress. The weather has been amazing. Still amazing how straight this truck is and happy it was only painted once. Taking down to bare metal is pretty easy.
