54 Chevy

[Apache]

Some of you might have read on the 73-87 board, that I was going to start working on a 77 SWB. Well, im now selling the chassis to a board member, and going to hold off on that project. Ill keep working on the cab/fenders/bed I have so I can use them on another truck later. That way when I get ready to use them, I can just buy a rusted up truck cheaper and use my parts.

Anyway, since the 77 is on hold...here is what im starting on. In the pic of the chassis you can see the crossmember has been cut. They had a newer model 6 with a auto, so to get the tranny low enuff to miss the floor of the cab they cut the crossmember up and dropped the whole engine/tranny down a few inches. Also in the last pic you can see where they had to cut to get the radiator back far enuff. Ill be using a 54 engine, so I can leave the radiator in the right place.
