It's ALIVE!
Well finally got the ole heap started yesterday and took it for a short spin around the block.
Still have a long way to go to make it driveable but at least now I know it runs. Swapped out the old straight 6 for a 283 with a powerglide, don't ask me why, it's a long story. Added an electric fan to cool it down. Changed out the front end for a 76 GM with disc brakes and added power steering. Threw in a pair of 05 Tahoe buckets and a Lokar floor shift. Swapped the front grille out for a 61 and will be doing the hood in a couple of weeks. Still needs some body work, some paint, a set of wheels and tires, need to lower it some. Might put a heater in it, upholstery and sound deadening and carpet. Will be changing out the back window for a big back glass. And modify the tailgate to get rid of the chains. Probably way more than I can think of to do, but thats what comes to mind right now. Could not have gotten this far without the help from you all. It is much appreciated and I guarantee I am not finished asking dumb questions.
