Default 1959 chev extended cab pickup

This project will last for a while as it is my own and i nee to work on customer work too.
I wanted a project to showcase my metalshaping and be a neat shop truck. The old cabs were small so alittle more leg room seemed good.
the 58 chassis was straight axle & leaf, manual steering. Aster some measuring an early 80's half ton long box chassis was 17 inches longer wheel base than the 58. I already had the newer chassis, so I traded the original chassis and bench seat for a pair of extra doors and misc needed parts. a little photoshop work and I think this is the goal.
