Re: 57 GMC, frame swap, 4wd, 454 big block, 4 speed

Its been a while since I've had any time to get work done on my own stuff, but I finally got a few things done. I ordered a 32 gallon suburban gas tank and sending unit to mount at the rear of the frame, got a Summit Racing 750 carburetor, and some Hedman big block headers. Also, I finally made some progress on my cab. I welded in all the holes in the firewall that won't be used, sanded and blended all the welded seams in the firewall and on all of the new replaced steps, cab corners, and hinge pockets, rebuilt the door hinges, and fit the doors. Now the cab goes to a friend's house for some traded out work to make the door gaps nice, and patch the lower driver door, and get truck bed liner sprayed under the cab, on the firewall, and in the interior floor and firewall. The cab can go on the frame after that.
