My 57 GMC on a 73 K20 chassis
5 Attachment(s)
I finally got some progress done on my truck. I got the cab mounted on the chassis, now its beginning to look like something. I'm planning on running tall skinny AT tires, something in the 255/85-16 range, so around 34". That should raise it up a couple inches from where it is now on the stands. It should fit under my 8' doors with this 4" K20 lift. The big block clears the firewall nicely too, so I'll probably use an HEI in place of the Mallory Unilite. I'll be changing to a short water pump, so that should allow for a clutch fan.

Hello Old57
I love these old truck on 4X4 frame. I think they look cool. I had Unilite Dissy on my big block and it would burn out the center element in the cap at about 8000 miles. I would carry one behind the seat so I would not get stranded. Ended up going to HEI |

I got the core support, inner fenders and driver fender mounted on for a mock-up. Starting to look like a beast.

Awesome work! I love this body style and have been trying to find one around here to do what you're doing to it. Your chassis and engine look sweet too!

Thanks guys! I got rid of the drum brakes on the 14 bolt and installed a Lugnut 4x4 disc brake kit.

I got the tires today, and had them mounted on my wheels. I finally have it sitting on its own again. The tires are Mastercraft CXT 255/85-r16, load range E, which is a 33x10. It has the stance I was looking for. I think it looks really tough. I need to get the hub caps repainted and then the wheels will be done. Hopefully I can get the front clip and doors pulled back off soon to get blasted and primed.
