This is my wife's truck. It's not much to look at right now, but it will be.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

My latest DD and a work in progress. Truck is basically stock, 235 which will stay with plans to add an hei, Fenton splits and something better then the Rochester in the future. I installed a S10 5 speed but need to pull shortly for a rebuild due to bearing noise. I have rewired it with a new harness and replaced the front bearings with tapered rollers. PO was not very mechanically inclined so had to fix a lot of mickey mouse items.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

A work in progress, need to even out the tires, maybe more of a drop on the front. Then paint and interior. We are gettin there though. 350 .30 over, port and polished heads, oversized valves, 700r with shift kit, posi rear end, and more money and time than the pictures look like
