Second shot. I didn't paint it just cleaned it up because I am using the truck for an arround the yard truck. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

did you take the setup out of a another truck or did you go with an aftermarket setup? (you said it was for around the yard so I figure from another truck) from what year did you get?

judging fromt he p/s pump Wes got the parts off a 71 or 72

73-up also works as far as engine cradle and suspension and brakes

good luck

The front crossmember came out of a 72 BB GMC along with the power brake system. The power steering system came out of a 72 Cheyenne Super... Both trucks were rusted beond repair..... I am now going to exchange the 4.10 rear out of the truck for a 3.54 possi I have... I can't wait untill it's ready to drive again!! When I install the engine I will be installing a T-350 also.... It should make a good driver then.... WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

WES, your putting in a smal block right? Did ya swap out them BB front springs? That's the only red flag that is popping up in my head.
