Re: 57 Build: Beverly
well,
i came home today after work and got some pretty serious news. Seeing as I've got a birthday comming, the wife ordered me a zz4 crate motor.....  So there are some serious issues I need to work out to get ready for the arrival. Obviously, I need motor mounts. Currently have the front motor mounts on the 283. I need headers and a new exhaust system. I need a new wiring harness. Looks like the PO installed the current harness at night with a butter knife.... it says painless but it looks like it hurts! even though the truck runs! LOL Any advice on my new list of mods?

Re: 57 Build: Beverly
And so it begins. Going with a rebel wire harness and got some parts coming in the rest of the week. Getting the cap prepped for some sound proofing undercoat, that window seal stuff and some hush mat. Then, some carpet and some other goodies!
Here is my new rad, fan and shroud. Looks like I'll have to make it a pusher due to clearance but hey, saul good.  Inside the cab needing some rust inhibitor, undercoat and some hushmat. Can't wait to get started...

Re: 57 Build: Beverly
Got some more work done today. Cab is done and ready for hushmat and some carpet.
Got the rad, fan and shroud mocked up. Looks like I'll run it as a pusher since I would end up with some clearance issues otherwise. Working on some mounting straps for the tranny cooler. Wife cleaned up the garage while I got stuff done. Seems like I'm going backwards a little but it will all come together I'm sure. Not a high $$ restoration really, just doing what I can with what I have. I want to get her back on the road soon and start enjoying my truck! Here are some pics, enjoy. Its Margarita time...

Re: 57 Build: Beverly
You are making great progress! Keep it up. By the way, great truck, nice looking shop, a wife that helps around the garage...wow, every man's dream...lucky man. Oh, what did you use to spray/brush to sound proof your cab? Looks good!
