New huy with a TON of questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

memo43 · 11-29-2008, 10:34 PM

Hello been a memeber for almost 1 year an never really started my own build, figured that I would wait till later. Well later came an now I am stuck.
I went from a 454, to a more driver friendly 350. I log about 12,000 miles a year in it, my daily driver.
Here is the truck its a 1956 short bed step side, that sits on top of a 1978 C-10 frame. That way I could have all the comodities of power brakes, power steering an most importantly disc brakes.
Now my dilema is, all my brackets don't fit

.
nor does my exhaust.
Can some one send me a pic of where there brackets mount up to as far as the alternator, power steering pump.
thanks in advance.
I will get some pictures of all the work I have done so far as soon as I figure out how it's done.
if at all possible send to my email memo_43@yahoo.com.
thanks

Sorry about the lack of info, I just had to many things that i wanted to say an my fingers can't keep up.
My truck is a 56 short bed step side (small window), we place the body on top of a 78 C-10 frame. so really all my parts should go to a 78, except for the engine. The new engine is a 1st gen Small block (75-85). Its mated to a TH400.
I have a few brackets lying around but for the life of me I can't figure up which way to put them on.
