Trucks built with a muscle car attitude... custom is good if done properly. I actually have two trucks if time ever allows i will be building both of them. Trucks are as follows 1955 3100 small back window short bed stepside, it will have a 454/ 4l80e combo with a 4bbl holley 950cfm tbi. IT will also be running a factory ecu that i will have to reflash out of a 1993 k2500. Twin turbos are planned for this build (factory as possible in looks and built to the hilt under the hood ... wolf in sheeps clothing) That truck is named mater by my kids. Second truck i just purchased will have what i can scrounge to make it a functional rolling usable truck with a little attitude, is a 1964 small back window apache, named by me appalache being that i am from kentucky originally seemed to fit the truck. (I name all my vehicles gives them a soul so to speak.
) That will have a 366 bbc warmed over out of a 1971 6 yard dump and a th400 short tail not much for performance but shouldnt have any problems towing with the original 12 bolt with 5 lug axle conversion on rear . It has a 1974 1/2 ton front cradle for all the disk compontents.
I should mention i used a 1979 suburban front frame clip for the 55 is heavier than that on the 64. It was from a 1979 suburban with the big 10 option ( basically a 3/4 ton five lug suburban) It had a 12" front rotor and a 13x3" rear drum from factory for plenty of woah for the go ....)
