Re: 1953 chevy 1100 gigis truck

dude! that's an awesome story!

i love the big-bolt trucks, and they have a MUCH bigger frame in them. unless you are planning to run some crazy HP and build a pro-touring truck, that stock frame should be great to build from. the cab n body fit, they have bolt-in kits for an LS, etc. hell, i'd use the stock manual trans and keep the parking brake.

any chassis you get will need a full rear suspension build, so its the same with this frame or another. for the front i'm a personal fan of the C10 IFS, and with your bigger clip it should fit and tuck nice too. i had to play games to get mine to tuck in the narrower front clip.

Would be really convenient for the park break but the trans is screwed, could most likly be fixed
