My 56 build (5 year plan) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

56james · 10-28-2015, 05:04 PM

Hello been on here for about a month doing a lot of research looking at majority of yalls builds. So here is what I have to start with 56 3100. The bed is not correct and not sure what rear it has in it. It has been completely gutted and looks like someone has started to weld up the firewall. Its missing bumpers it has a lot of surface rust but its a good start.

Now the fun can start. Luckily I live close enough to Mar-k beds that I can pick up what I need for that.

Power plant plans:
5.3 LS
4L60E Trans

Flatout C4 Front suspension

Not sure what I plan on doing for the rear yet.

I would like to do Air Bags but need to weigh the cost Vs Coil over.

Looks like a real nice truck to start with.
