Re: 57 GMC, frame swap, 4wd, 454 big block, 4 speed
I got my cooling fans, dual Spal 11" high output fans and shroud. I also installed the steering column and a temporary steering wheel. I got the steering u-joints installed and cut a piece of DD shaft to length. I need to mark the shaft to drill it for the set screws and remove it to do that. Pay no attention to the wiring mess and spark plug wires all over the place... that will get cleaned up when I run all of the wires nice and to where they need to go. I dropped off my wheels today to get powder coated, and hopefully will be getting tires ordered soon. I also ordered a U.S. Radiator copper/brass cross flow, triple pass radiator. It should be here Thursday, then I can mount it and the fans. Hopefully the cooling will be handled for the big block. After that, the front clip and doors will come back off to get media blasted and sprayed in epoxy primer. I also got some rolls of tubing to start making fuel and brake lines. Slow progress, but it's progress.
