intro and questions...
intro and questions...
Hi all! just thought I would do a little intro before throwing out some questions... My name is Lotus and I live in the Bakersfield CA area. My current projects are a 1952 chevy two door deluxe (car) and a 1955 chevy truck (second edition). The truck has a older small block chevy engine (not sure of the condition) in it from a corvette and a 4 speed. I am not into shifting and I like BB so I am thinking of putting my 472 caddy engine in the car with a turbo 400. The truck also has a 12 bolt rearend in it. It needs quite a bit of work still. A couple questions I have are is it easy to move the gas tank out of the cab and put it somewhere else?? the stock front suspension is it worth rebuilding and using or is it rough riding no matter what? and lastly... the truck sits high in the back and low in the front... upon looking at the rear suspension I have noticed there are NO shocks just leafs sitting ontop of the rearend. I want it lower in the back. Should I put the leafs on the bottom of the axle and put some shocks back on to start or ??? I am not wanting to spend a TON of money on the truck at this time which is why I am asking about the front end and not just throwing a MII in it.... Thanks! Lotus PS I will post pics soon! I just bought the truck and have not had time to take pics. Here is where pics are located of my car (old... need to take new ones) http://www.greaser.biz/chevrolet/ |
