Nice!

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Thanks guys. Next thing will be the door lettering for the shop logo and then pinstripes

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Nice build! It gives my son and I some ideas for his 59 GMC.

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

With another successful cruising season wrapping up in these parts of Canada it's time to think about some upgrades. I have been sitting on the fence about swapping my dropped axle and mono leaf set up out for a Nova clip I have but I'm not sold on the idea yet.

I think I'm going to look at converting my steering to a cross steer application so I can run a tilt column and add in some front and rear sway bars. Mix that with a new wheel and tire set up and I think we'll have a full winter.

I still intend on spraying the truck with a satin clear coat over the winter and then doing the door lettering and pin striping.

Here's a shot of it parked in front of the shop we just finished siding

Hey cool shop, I'm thinking c4 suspension for my upgrade on my new frame this winter for my truck.

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

There are always guys parting out Corvette's on Kijiji in the Winnipeg area. I was looking when i was thinking of the same swap

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

im going to look at an 84 vette tonight

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Good luck with the parts hunting bud. You'll have a busy winter

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

This is our current winter project. An ALL Chevy powered 27 Model T roadster sitting on a 30 Model A chassis. It'll have a 365HP small block 350 with a turbo 350 and a 3.73 rear end from an S10 for a power train.

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

You share on that build right? Dont show us candy and not give us a taste

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Sure thing, I'll be sharing progress pics along the way

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Sounds like you've got a bit of a plan! Maybe Unisteer has a rack that will work for your truck?

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Dubie - Your build is very inspiring to me. I hope to build my 59 in the same "shop truck" style this coming winter with a dropped axle, etc. If you happen to decide to go IFS I would be interested in buying your solid axle stuff.

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

sounds good Razz. I just got the truck back out on the street after 7 months of winter storage. If I do decide to swap over to the IFS, You'll be the first to know. And thanks for that cool compliment. I'm glad someone gets it hahahha

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

We put our little hot rod project on hold and picked this little step side up last night. Should be a fun project truck

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Looks like a good start!

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Well the 60 year old steering box puked out the oil seal the other day. I'm pretty thankful and proud to have a wife that is a Industrial Mechanic and had the steering box rebuilt in an hour. We're back in business and cruising again

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

Well, I ended up selling both the 70 GMC and the shop truck a few weeks ago. Now it's time to build this 27 roadster and I've picked up a 24 Chrysler which we will get started on in the spring

Re: 56 shop truck build
 

I don't know if you found the H.A.M.B. yet but there's a ton of info there. I'm also doing two Model A's. A 29 Pick up that's original and a 30 Coupe 50's style.
