Very nice Jim!

Well, direction decided. The 216 is in.

So it's going to be our own version of a "resto-mod". I had to do a little fab for the 216 to settle in nicely, so it is no longer "totally uncut".

Truck will be 216 powered, mid 50's farm truck 4 speed granny, open driveshaft, 2 speed rear end (hydraulic brakes added), and shortened fromt he 157" wheelbase down to the 131" wheelbase (a factory offered wheelbase for that year). Flat bed with staggered stake sides. This will be a LONG project, done is phases, since the owner is on a tight budget.
