I am reposting this for the Gallery
I am Hank Ragsdale in Colorado Springs.
I always wanted a 58 stepside,last summer I saw the guy behind me unloading this old 58. He said it was for sale and since the 54 Chevy was about done, this looked like a fun project.
This would be an "old driver". The project was almost a frame up rework with suspension, brakes, electrical, rubber seals, door hardware, windows, and interior.
The motor is a crate 350 with a Holley 4 barrel, electronic ignition, headers, and all the other stuff. It is stock but pushes the truck very well. A TH350 makes it fun to drive. The body work and painting took a lot of time but it is ready to hit the road. A lot of work but is a truck I have wanted since 1964 when I got out of the Navy.

They will get it into the gallery eventually. Sometimes it takes a while. You just need to be patient with them. These people all work regular jobs, too.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
