new 56 Chevy in the community ...
 

Hello,

I'm surfing this forum for the last couple of days ... and already found some very valuable information … I hope that when questions arise during the build, people here can help me out.
But let’s stay polite, and first start with a small introduction :

I’m from Belgium, a little over 40 years old and bought a 56 Chevy truck 3 months ago. Due to some home renovation that I had to finish first, I only started working on the truck since last week …
Body has little rust (cab corners, underside of doors and lower hinge pockets) and a few dents, but all in all, I think it’s in decent shape …
Interior needs some serious work …

It got an upgrade to a Chevy 350/350 combination with a 12-bolt rear end. I hope to find some kind of serial#/build date when I remove it, so that I know more of it …
The rear end is a bit too wide with the current wheels, so I need to figure out how to correct that (probably larger backspacing on the rims …)

Plans are to tear it down completely, and build it up again. Since I don’t know the exact history of the engine/trans, I think I’ll overhaul these as well.

Think that’s it in a nutshell … I already put the camera in the garage, so I hope I don’t forget to take pictures regularly…

Ps : and yes, we finally have a Government in Belgium …
