Project BPR 53'

My buddy asked me who I would use to build a truck and my answer was "me" LOL. So here we go...... He brought me over a 1953 Chevy that at first glance looked good so we where going to just basically clean the truck up and paint it. Well after tearing into the truck and putting it on the lift things got ugly fast, the frame was a hacked together arc welded wrecked Camaro sub frame a 10 bolt pos and a sloppy 200r4 trans. The up side was the truck did have a decent body and a 327 with 202 heads. We started by tearing the truck down and sending the engine to a machine shop, next I found a nice stock frame that we are in the process of putting a mustang 2 front end under and a TCI 4 link kit in.
