I have been lurking a while, there are a lot of cool rigs on this forum. I figured it was time to contribute my own. I have been with the task force group for a while. I got my first in 1988, while in high school. It was a 1957 3200 long bed that I promptly swapped to a 1977 Jimmy chassis. I still have and is currently on the road, and is a blast to drive. It is no show piece, but currently running a 305 / turbo 350 with holley tbi, power steering, power disc brakes up front, it runs really good and reliable!
My Dad lives next door and he got his 56 around the same time, and he put a 400 in the stock frame and added power brakes and drove his off and on for the last 25 years this way. however You will see pics of his pop up too. we have his truck swapped over to an 89 chevy k1500, because he liked the look of my 4x4... more on that later
This thread is about a 58 big window cab and title I bought about 10 years ago I also picked up a 1992 Buick roadmaster8 or so years ago. I have two boys of my own so I need two trucks, one for each of them, RIGHT?? so to bring this thread up to date, Body work started on the cab early 2013 and the Buick got stripped late 2013, the cab was fitted to the frame March 2014, and last week I got the Buick wiring harness in and got the steering and brakes operational, so currently sitting on a milk crate, I can move it under its own power, It will be easier to work on!
on with the pics...
My first
I get a lot of help from dad...
