Yeah, I've never been a big fan of the 58-59 front ends. For me the 57
grill is the only way to go. But the 58-9 fleetside bed is way too cool not
to use! I'm even thinking about taking a stepside rear bumper and
stretching it to the exact width of the fleet bed then frenching the curved
ends into the quarter panels. It'll look a lot like the way the rear bumper
fits on a 57 Belair.
