[Old Jimmy]

My plans for the 51 GMC are:

1. Use original frame.

2. Install IFS system with P/S.

3. I've built a 1978 SBC 350 I saved from an old truck I had. It's been bored
.60 over. I totally rebuilt it adding new aluminum heads, full roller rockers, edelbrock performer intake, 1406 carb, and finned tall valve covers. I ran it on the engine stand, runs nice.

4. I picked up a 1995 S10 4X4 pickup with a 4.3 liter v6. It has a nice serpentine belt accessory drive system with p/s pump, a/c pump, and alternator. Looks like it will bolt right on my SBC.

5. The rear end will be a S10 10 bolt with 342 ratio or 372 ratio. I have both.

6. The steering column from s10 may be used.

7. Fuel tank/cell will be mounted under the bed. I don't want it in the cab.

8. I'm hoping to get the body straight enough to put a nice paint job on it.

Here's some more photos.
