Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up

BC - I was going to ask how you expect the transaxle in the 914 to survive behind that V8 but then I realized (I think!) you probably swapped out the original 915 trans for a Carrera-era Gertrag five speed? If I remember my Porsche days correctly that Gertrag is the same (+/-) as went into Camaros of that era?

When I was in college the rich kid that lived down the street from my then girlfriend had a yellow 914-6 with the square flares you are using and I was head over heels in love with it. I SO wish I would have thought to ask him to contact me before selling it. Not that I would have had the money for it. Probably would have cost like $5,000 in those days - all the money in the world to me then.

Can't wait to see how yours comes out Hey, if you ever want to sell it.........!
