I'm putting a 55 cab and front end on a modified 1977 chevy shortbed 1/2 ton chassis. I shorted the front frame horns a little and installed the 55 cab mounts. I made my own core support. I'm using 1958/1959 Fleetside bedsides with a 1979 chevy shortbed metal bed floor. I put a dash out of a 1959 impala in it. I used the front pulleys/brackets/serpentine belt system off of a 1993 5.0 liter silverado. I used a steering column out of a 1986 chevy full size van. I have a balanced 355 sbc engine with a turbo 350 trans with a lokar nostalgia shifter. I plan to paint it Mercedes Silver (code 744) and install torque thrust D wheels with Bridgestone radial ta tires. I'm new to the group. This is my first post. I hope my photo loads ok.
