Hi I am new to the list. Wanted to ask you guys how to go about a
project. I am intrested in building a 55 Chevy pickup 4x4. I have an
opportunity to buy a 55 complete (last ran 5 yrs ago, has been sitting
since and has rough body) for $200.00. The guy also says he has a 57
cab which has been worked on and is primed and has a good 57 frame. He
has offered to give me the primed cab, the frame and the first whole
truck I described for 1000.00.
What I wanted to do is to make the truck a 4x4 and put a 350 or
something like that in it and make it an everyday driver in the winter.
Will I be able to use the 57 frame or should I use a more modern frame
from another 4x4?
Should I go for the whole package or should I stick with the
complete truck or go for just the cab?
I have never rebuilt a truck or car for that matter before so any
help and/or advice will be welcome.
