I have a 57 1 ton dually that I found sitting in a backyard in my home town. The truck has been used it's entire life and has never had the chance to rot away. I shortened the 9 1/2' bed to 7 1/2'. I replaced the original wood frame rail with 2"x6" (1/4" wall) steel tubing. Then I designed a hinge system, creating a dump bed set up. When I can afford it, I'll put in the hydraulic system to finish it off. I also built custom side racks and headache rack out of 2"x6" douglas fir with a fruit wood stain and a marine grade semi gloss finish. The headache rack has the classic chevy bowtie cut out for the rear window. What an awesome and unique truck to drive every day. I love my TRUCK!!!
