Huge change in the project.
With the price of gas and a truck necessary to run parts around town etc.
I have changed everything.
I am moving my 66 GMC cab to a SWB chevy trailing arm/coil spring frame.
I hear Rat Rod in the future...
I am putting my 63 Chevy cab on the 66 leaf sprung LWB frame and adding a 250 6 cylinder. Eventually I will build an OHC 6 that I have from a 68 firebird to replace the 250 Chevy.
The SWB frame will get my 440 CI Poncho motor once I have the LWB 3/4 ton rolling.
I am photo tracking the builds and this weekend I should have the cab on the LWB 1/2 ton frame with the 3/4 ton drive parts.
I am going with a NV4500 behind the 250 and final drive is the 3.42 14 bolt shown earlier in this thread.
The 250 is bolted in and the trans is ready to bolt up. All easy as pie with no cab in the way.
The power steering box is installed and the hydro-boost is ready to bolt to the cab.
Barring any interuptions, I want to have the drive train fired up and the cab set this weekend if not more.
Why the huge change? $3.80 a gallon X dual tanks= $100+ dollars to fill the thing and gas aint heading down in price soon.
