a little back story on the truck...i bought this truck (a 1955.1) when i was 15yrs old from a local car lot...kid you not the lot was called (Honest Franks used cars)
a short time after i got the truck i noticed the cab and bed started rubbing each other...
thats when i found the frame nearly rusted completely in to...it had metal scb welded all over it holding it together
i was about 18 when i thought it would be cool to have a 4x4 AD so i bought a 67 k20..did a frame swap ,but never finished the truck..i had it running and driving but not road wothy...
fast forward a lot of yrs and i was getting ready to start on this truck when the 57 IH resurection took precidence..
so ,i have a 55.1 that im modding the front end to use the 5 bar grill...im building a tube chassis for it...it will have a flatout vett front end with 9in ford out back...power will come from a LS3 and tr6060...
ive got the same rust issues everybody else has so im not looking forward to that part..
