55.2-59 1958 Saab story

[3757chevy]

I read through your build the last two days . WOW!! Love it. I always liked the 55-59 Panels and Suburbans . Been following on your wagon build too. I never knew Saab and Envoy/Trailblazers were at all similar. Not that there's not enough lighting up front but some of those 3/4 in lights might look cool in the left over bumper bolt holes .

I thought about getting a dimple die and reshaping the holes in the front bumper. I see all these extra lights on these new trucks and I keep going back to "less is more".

The transmission input shaft speed sensor is acting up, so I have to replace it. When I jacked up the truck to start pulling the transmission, I noticed an oil leak from the engine. The exhaust y- pipe is in the way of everything, the transfer case has to come off, etc. etc. Since I'm going to pull the engine anyways to check for cracks, I can leave the transmission in place and replace the sensor.

Then there's the whole "while I'm at it" moment. I was fine with the way the truck ran with a stock lq4, but a little thumpity thumpity would also be cool. So I ordered the Brian tooley racing "Truck Norris" camshaft and everything that goes with it. New gaskets and lifters and springs.

I couldn't find any shorty headers to bolt up to the stock y-pipe, so I ordered the speed engineering headers and y-pipe without cats that bolts directly to the existing exhaust.

All new belts and tensioner, spark plug wires and whatever other new shiny things that will nickel and dime me to death, but I'm excited to hear the new exhaust note when she's finished.
