Extremely happy with my beauty but later I found out that the whole front train was messed up with old materials and welded together. The car drives terrible.
Could you explain what you mean? There are many solutions to this problem and maybe you could do the modifications and have the truck you desire.
Check out the
SHOP AREA and post your questions there. It might not be as dire as you think!
But now I like my first 1954 grill much better than the 1951 grill, also the rear of the new one isn't a beauty.
If you do not like the roll pan at the rear, it can be removed and you can put it back to look original without a lot of expense. Rear bumpers and brackets are available in the aftermarket,
