Cool Wes!
I really wanted to bid on that, but future plans have me on a tight budget. Are you gonna leave the Chevy front on it? Or back to GMC? ------------------

Thanks guys..
![]() As to wether I leave the chevy nose on it, that is a good question. I like the look of the chevy nose better than GMC, however GMC looks great also. It will remain chevy for now at least. If I find a great deal on a GMC front clip I may change it sometime in the future. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Well I hope so.. LOL I have talked to him quite extencivly about it and it is just about as solid as they come. I will find out!! I went up to Renton, WA to look at another panel for sale for $2000.00 and called the owner befor I left to ask about how much rust it had. His answer was verry little, the worst spot was a hole the size of a quarter. So off I went to go look at it.... Man I darn near didn't get out of my truck, that thing had so much rust that if you were to go arround a corner too fast the body would have broke away leaving you holding the steering wheel!! LOL WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

I'll have to check my time scedule 68SWB4x4. I have thought about buying some good rust frre parts while I am down there. I have to go to Elk Grove, then down to Palmdale and finally back home. I am undecided if I am going to take my panel down to Palmdale or just load it on the truck on the way back. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Ya, it will stay that low.. I like the stance. I will probly change the way it was done though. I like for it to have great driving carictoristics also. I will probly go with a 71-72 front crossmember and steering, then 2 1/2" lowering spindles with 2" lowering springs. I am not sure about the rear because I forgot to ask if it was leaf spring or control arm. I favor keeping as much spring as possible and lower by other means. Who knows I may just leave it alone and go with air bags when I save up enough money. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished. What transmission do you plan on putting behind that 396? I didn't see the auction, so I don't know what's in it now. You want that TH400 back? hehe

I am not too sure yet. It will either be a t-400 or a t-350 built up to handle a big block. I like the t-350 better because I have heard that it uses less power than the t-400 and if you build them up wright the are just as strong. My BB 68 GMC will give up it's 396 for the panel and it has a good t-400 transmission already in it. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com
