Re: Cummins Powered 1957 Chevy Truck!!!

The 95 (2500 4x4 Reg Cab) I picked up for $1500. It would not shift out of 1st. So, before I bought it I checked everything over all the fluids were good, fuel smelled good. To top it off, it had been sitting for 6 or so years. I put 2 batteries in it and she cranked right up.





Its rough but the engine is in VERY good shape...even at 412K miles. The issue with the trans was the the guy who rebuilt it 6 years ago (roughly 3000miles) cranked up the line pressure and it broke the 1-2 apply lever. Ordered a billet apply lever, installed a shift kit, new seals and drain plug on tranny pan (47RH).

The lifter (side cover) gasket was cracked and leaking. Installed new front and rear main seals, timed pump to 15.5* (its a California Emissions Engine) and will be doing a valve adjustment this weekend.
