Hello From Tejas 55.1 GMC 100
Hello All,
New guy here. I currently have a 55.1 GMC 100 1/2 ton 5 window custom cab short bed that has been following me around since 1977. I purchased the truck in Lubbock Texas, drove it for 3 yrs and then tore it down to " Hot Rod" it. At the time I had installed a mildly cammed 4 bolt main 350 and turbo 400 tranny. Moved to the Dallas Fort Worth area when life got in the way of the truck until mid to late 90's when I bolted on a 76 front suspension from a GMC 1/2 ton and swapped out the rear end. Again life crept in and the project stalled. Retired in 2017 after 40 yrs and last year I finally realized what direction I wanted to take the truck at this stage in my life. Which brings me here. My current plan is I am going to install a Flat Out Engineering C4 Corvette suspension and swap the 350/turbo 400 for a LS 6.0 and have not decided on the tranny yet. I have sourced a dana 44 C4 IRS and a C4 IFS both 84-87 yrs. Well thats my introduction, look forward to your thoughts and idea's! |
