My 55 was running/driving with a sbc 400 with a 4 speed manual, it was pretty quick but the stock steering sucked. After driving it around for a couple days I knew it wasn't going to just take a little work to get it where I wanted. First thing was to replace the king pins and tighten up the steering box. The removing and replacing the king pins sucked, but that and the steering box adjustment made driving it a little less dangerous( before that you could turn the steering wheel 45° to each side before it would move the wheels). Within a couple months or so I decided to start ordering parts and tearing the truck down, trying to sell as much of the removed parts as possible...which in turn helped determine what direction the build would go, forcing a commitment because there was no parts to go backwards with.
