i used the 55 cab, the 59 dash, it was perfect and i had no GMC parts and the frame and bed from the 57. I got a 78 camero for $50 and used the front clip, rear end, brake pedal cluster and trans. Shes a real looker huh...my wife would not even let it off the trailer, not kidding.

A local guy here in Idaho has a jig to do the front clip he has done like 40 of them so no credit to me for that part. I got a killer deal to get sandblasting done and was able to get the frame, cab and a ton of pieces done.
