59 Chevy Build

[prostreeter58]

I just became a member of this site and found it most interesting. I know that there are a lot of "builds" published but one more couldn't hurt.

I just returned from Arizona where I purchased a '59 Fleetside (4700 miles round trip). I already have a prostreeted '59 and thought this would make a good tow vehicle. So this build is going to concentrate mostly on the drive train. The truck that I am starting with is "barn fresh", actually the best condition '59 I have seen. I am going to power it with a 502 and an automatic, not sure if I will use a 400 or a 700R4. I hope you enjoy the ride.
