however, if I'm wrong someone will pipe up.
a piece of advice - when you post a topic - put what year truck, make, model it is - then the guys with knowledge of that year will click on it to see if they can help.

Am i right in thinking the 59 lookes like the 57 chevy dash. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | see yer other post, gmck - the chev dashes 55-59 are all identical, same w/ the gmc dashes, 55-59 alla same
also V6jimmy, the 55/7 front clip is difficult to fit properly on the 58/9 because the hood hinge mount holes on the cab firewall are slightly different - also the front of the 58/9 frame has to be cut about a half inch - 58/9 front clip is even harder to fit to a 55-7 cab/frame and will hang out too far on the frame to fit the bumper
