Here are some updates. Slowly coming together. I bought the corvette wheels and wanted to stick with the Corvette Z06 factory wheel size and offset. I have to split the rear fenders and add about 1-3/8".
Here is the Mar-K bed coming together. raising the floor about 4-1/4" too.

Looking good. I want to build a C10 like it someday with a lot of carbon to match my Camaro.

I have built a few Corvettes over the years and love the cove(bullet) on the side. I want to keep this truck 50's with the 59 Impala dash and decided to see what the Corvette cove would look like on the side.
I didn't like it so I thought I would see what it looked like with just the Spears behind the front tire and the same color as the body. I like it.
I changed my mind on the color combo too...
Thoughts?

Me personally, I like it with just the spears on the side without the "cove." I never knew that was called a "cove" until now.

I like the spears. I'm not sure I like the recess area they're in. It looks stuck on and doesn't flow. Might try having four spears more evenly spaced along the fender line with the original flat fender.

Here we go. Getting busy on this project again. Bed mounted and fenders widened. Step is a little work. Also, Got my hands on a 51-52 Cadillac front bumper. Going to work that in.

Doesn't stick out too much. Here is a pic looking back with the rear wheel wells just peeking out.
