Clay
Croghan's 1956
A Story of Classic
Iron
Continued
 Inside, Clay wanted
to upgrade the interior to a more modern look without losing to much of the
old style that he liked, so an OEM looking loop carpet set with matching
floor mats was installed. A Grant leather steering wheel, chrome pull knobs,
Lokar pedals & shifter, and billet aluminum door knobs were added. This gave
the inside a newer rod look that was in keeping with the rest of the trucks
look.
Clay’s desire was to keep the original dash and not cut it up (by the way
the original AM radio still works) so he installed an under-seat AM/FM/CD
player for a much more enjoyable listening experience.
 Recently, Clay added a
new set of Radial tires and Chrome Corvette style Rally wheels and has plans
to add new polished stainless bed rails and a few other touches this summer.
In the future, Clay is planning on installing a new IFS suspension for
better handling and stopping. Not that the truck really needs it, he says
the truck is “…pretty good as it is now”.
Clay has help from his son who calls the old truck “BETSY BLUE”. Clay says,
“Maybe some day he'll take an interest in old trucks like me and can take
her to a new level”. Well, we hope so Clay….great work! -
