Where are you located ?? , yea , i have been looking into any posts i find with 55-59 , but i am noticing that a lot of these "builds" are done using a alternate front clip off Camaro's or Mustangs , etc , so the steering setups are completely different from my build , looks like not many are keeping the original front suspension and box , with a tilt wheel , i had thought about doing a Camaro clip , , and actually found one in Boise , it was a 71 , for $150 , i looked for the add again on Craigslist a few days later as i thought i might as well get it , and it was gone ,but the cost of paying someone to do it right , is a little bit above my budget for now , i can weld , and trust my fab skills , but do not have a proper place to jig up the frame so its level , as its hard to do that in gravel , so it would have to be farmed out , the only one i know with the skills and tools to do it right , is a guy in Meridian , its all he does is classic customs , bed/frame shortening , subframes , etc , his work is top notch , but he's always booked months in advance , and the cost is a bit out of my budget for now

But i have been searching the "Projects" forum , looking at the trucks , so i can get a idea what i need to do on some of this stuff , but unfortunately , it seems that others budgets and work areas are far better than mine , so i can only do so much right now till i figure out a place to really do what i would like with it , so for now , the main focus will be the basics to get it road worthy and back to being a driver again , and down the road , think about suspension swaps , etc , but the tank and steering , and basic stuff i can do where i have it parked (outside in the gravel unfortunately)
