This is my truck, KZbin refused to give me access to this account because the phone is no longer valid. This truck is still on the road 10 years later.

Nice job, CANT wait to hear my 55 ,

pls stop embarrassing taekwondo

Nice to see someone with some restraint. Wonderfull truck, hope you re-do the bench seat in original style vinyl when it comes up. So many of these old trucks have been modded with such poor taste.

Very nice stock looking truck! I have a 1957 mid year factory NAPCO 3100 in Sandstone beige, restored by me and driven the last ten years. I also has a few nicks but if you want to use them it happens! They are getting almost too valuable anymore. In high school I put a 327 in my '59 NAPCO and boy was it a dune topper!

Nice video. I have been putting off replacing my rotten and rusty bed for years, and after watching this video, I think it will be the next thing I replace on my 56 stepside. How many people have asked if you can help them move since you got it done? LOL!

Your garage must be immaculate! I could never go barefoot in mine! haha. Do you know if those clips that hold the sills in place are available aftermarket? my truck came without a bed and all I can find are the rubber pads. Thanks!

Just baught a 56 4400, wish it was a 4wheel drive but, it was an origional Hydramatic truck

Very Nice!!! What type of Braden winch is it? LU-2? Was it on the truck when you bought it? I'm trying to find pictures of how the original winches were mounted as I've just found a Spicer PTO for my NAPCO transfer case.

shes a beauty

What rank is the Tang Soo Do dude?

Nice work! After watching a million videos of hillbillys building Frankenstein trucks from junk they had laying around it's nice to see something finished off this nice. Glad you were able to realize your dream!

Were did u order the bed parts at

Outstanding BTW

I know the boards are a kit , is the bed a kit?

And so whats the name of that yellow?

que es mejor tang soo do o tae kwon do o son poray??

thats a bad ass truck man! check out my 54 Ford 100

Not sure, maybe a 5-10 pounds.

How much do those metal strips weigh altogether

I am looking for a truck like this to buy I love the yr. and style

Great video .i have a 1957 chevy truck that needs a bed. Where did you buy your bed?

I am building a 1958 Chevy short bed step side Your Film. will be Helpful When I Get to the bed.

Thanks for the nice comment. Your first series may be different than mine. I believe yours uses wood block spacers. On mine, the front bed panel sits on the leading edge of the boards, it is not bolted directly to the cross member. Good luck with your project!

I am pretty positive you need them to raise the bed to the correct height. You should buy the factory manual so you can see how those go in. You might be able to find a diagram online somewhere or go to stovebolt[dot]com Good luck!

Nice build; Question, I'm putting together a bed for a '51, but on the bed sills I have wood blocks do I need them or r they optional?

I grew up in Carson City, NV. There are so many nice classics out there. I try to go to Hot August Nights every year, and I have yet to see a NAPCO. Not sure about what you mean by swing arms. I have seen anti-sway bars on NAPCOs but they are quite rare. Mine doesn't have them. What makes you think something is missing? The 3/4 ton NAPCOS are great, there is a guy on youtube that stuffed a Cummins Diesel in one. Do a search for it. Good luck with your project. Take it one step at a time!

I bought mine two weeks ago in Lake Tahoe NV its goldish light brown.

Wow I love it! I just got a 59 Apache with original NAPCO 3/4 4x4 drive train I have a question and maybe I will have to show you with a Video Response but I think Im missing some swing arms? right above the tie rods?

Wow, i didn't know old pick-ups had such a selling command, 65 grand== amazing. Once you start getting into frame off it gets expensive, i inquired about having my jeep undercarriage blasted and it was over 1500.00 and they prefer it all disassembled which is too much work for me as it's my winter vehicle, i just had the headliner and a new rug cost me over a grand-- i think someone took one of those off road and for the age it was very respectable

I didn't know about cross drilling drums either until I tripped across some for sale on brotherstrucks. And at $90 each, that's not a bad price. I have my truck insured for 35 grand, but it would take a lot more for me to sell it. Omar Lugo (the NAPCO Guru) sold a NAPCO Suburban for over $65,000 on Barrett Jackson 6 or 7 years ago.

Amazing, i am pretty car savvy and i have never heard of drums like that, i have a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2 and i installed drilled and slotted rotors, that yellow makes the truck as well as all the undercarriage, very clean, good to have a later model engine too-- someone has a 55 with a 265 factory engine, they want 35 grand

As long as it is 4 wheel drive, it's gotta be cool. Good luck on your project, take it one step at a time so you don't get overwhelmed and give up. I would save all year and then buy a pallet of parts when the supply companies had their yearly discount sales.

Thanks for the advice on the thermostat, because that is exactly what I did was to put a 195 in. I recently added a 165. On the 17.5 wheels, the Super Traxion tires were the only ones I could find and were extremely expensive.

Thanks for the comment!

It's the original SM420 with a non syncro granny gear. It has a divorced transfer case Spicer 23.

I put in a nice electric fan and it works great. I also, added a 165 thermostat. I runs cool all day. You can cross drill drums, I bought mine already drilled from Brothers Trucks. The holes are just drilled through the drum where the brake pads contact the drum. Pretty slick and keeps the brakes cool and lets any water out if I were to go in water or mud that deep, which I don't!

Maybe you need a 5 blade flex fan? truck is very nice-- What do you mean about cross drilled brakes when you have drums?

WOW!!! Very nice truck. Thanks for the educational video! I have a 1960 Chevy truck and the time will come soon for me to replace the bed wood.....
