Re: Mr Green Jeans - the 69 (or not) chevy, er gmc, project

Haven't even looked at this truck in 4 months. I've been working on and driving the 56. I used the steering column from this truck to replace the broken one in the orange truck, ended up replacing all the ball joints and tie rods at the same time. Then I stole the headers from this truck to replace my corvette manifolds and ended up using the whole exhaust, Spintech mufflers and all. I just replaced my 17" front wheels with another set of 18" rear wheels and I now have a stronger Dana 44 vette rear to replace my Dana 36 diff sitting in the garage. Kind of thinking to put the 6.0 engine in the 56. My logic is to put the bigger more powerful engine in the smaller, lighter truck. It will then be the hot rod truck that's loud, obnoxious and eats gas. Then I can put the 5.3 in the C10 and have a cruiser. Or I could turbo it and be completely crazy. Or I could change my mind. Not sure yet. I'll get back on it I just want to get the 56 squared away and make sure I have a plan.
