Re: 57 GMC, frame swap, 4wd, 454 big block, 4 speed

57 GMC

Your build looks fun, doing interesting stuff. I'll be following along.
You mentioned that you are looking to sell a 57 GMC front fender, which one? And the cost your looking to get?


Thanks

Thanks, hopefully one of these years I'll be able to drive it! The fender is spoken for now. What I have left to get rid of is the GMC gauge panel, and the complete 57 GMC grill/trim/core support/ bumper/ emblems

I haven't had much time to work on the truck lately, but I pulled the motor back out and changed to a hydraulic clutch system from Novak, and used an adjustable release bearing and adjustable arm pivot. I got everything set up nice and then reinstalled the motor. Also, I completely disassembled the steering box and cleaned everything, then rebuilt it with all new bearings/seals/teflon rings/etc.

Re: 57 GMC, frame swap, 4wd, 454 big block, 4 speed

Thanks guys. Yes, I grabbed the towel out of my "grease rag" pile. After I got the steering box apart and cleaned, I started reassembly with the new seals and parts, and it did cause a little extra looking for the small pieces, haha
