Re: 57 GMC, frame swap, 4wd, 454 big block, 4 speed

Just a couple things to update... I have most of the switches and dash wiring done, and I painted the gauge panel and installed the gauges in it. I should have the dash finished the next chance I have to work on the truck. I also bought a truck bed trailer to use the bed floor. It was a boat trailer with a 73-87 long bed mounted on it. I removed the bed and sold the trailer, so I ended up paying 50 bucks for he bed. I would have used the bed floor from the original 73 donor truck, but it was badly dented and rusted. I'll measure the floor size of my 57 long bed, and cut out this floor to size, then get it installed. It will also use the cross braces, since its going back on a 73-87 frame anyway. I think it will look like it came from the factory with the ribbed floor when its done.
