thanx guys I have been working on the truck lately and hoping to be able to fire it up this weekend I got the steps in the wiriing harness from an 81 chevy truck the biggest problem im having now is figuring the wires to get the guages working but other then that its coming together fairly quick hope to be crusing w/in 2 months

Sounds like it will be a nice truck once it is done. Nice job on that motor, a black block and heads looks very sharp. A little chrome and aluminum never hurt anyone either. LOL.

Hey Pug how did the 56 front clip line up on the new frame. Any problems with rad support or inner fenderwells? Thanks biddaboy

pugs · 04-01-2003, 01:43 PM

everything worked out real good and was fairly easy to set up i will get a pic for if needed i too two bumper brackets and cut the curved end off and welded them in place once i had the cab and everything in place and all level i did have to cut down the bottoms of the inners to clear the upper comtrols arms

Lucky59 · 04-01-2003, 06:48 PM

I had to cut my inner fenders too, its not that big of a deal considering what you are gaining.
