55 chevy project
Hello
I am new to this site my name is Pav, i saw cal58s thread and i decided to join seems like a helpful place while building your truck. Neways i gotta 1955 chevy pick up big window back. Bought it off the original owner. Ive had the truck for a year now, ive added a roll pan to the front eliminating the bumper also have made a roll pan for the rear from fender to fender did all the body work myself i have 59 cadillac tailights frenched into the rear fenders. I am planning on shaving the handles and adding a one peice power window kit to the glass. I used a 1980 chevy pu frame shortened the frame about 9" behind the cab. I am running a sbc 305 motor with a mild cam and lifter set with a edelbrock performer intake basically stock motor just with a bit of chrome. Got a holley commander 950 fuel injection unit planning to install soon once i get the 55 chevy car gas tank in the rear. I will be posting picks soon. Thank You Pav |
