57 GMC Raped Ape

[dubds10]

Well after 15 years of buying & selling classic GMs I've finally settled down with a long term project...maybe lol My fiancee loves 55-57 Chevy/GMC's so I saw one across the border. Bought it as soon as we saw it & test drove it.

15 Year Old Hot Rod build that's been in the barn the last 10 years...specs:

Built 350 - supposedly around 500HP but internal specs are unknow. It goes in for a dyno/tune tomorrow. World Sportsman 2 race heads with 1.6 rocker arms and machining. Edlebrock intake & Holley 670 carb. Wild cam, Hooker Super Comp headers into true duals.

Built 350 trans but shift kit & stall are unknow. Need to hook up the Tach still to figure things out.

'68 Camaro 8.5" rearend - gear ratio unknown, need to check it.

Mustang II IFS with discs & coil overs - Heidts or Fatman who knows lol

15" Cragars of course.

Nissan Red paint back whenever. 10ft job but that's OK as it's our driver & it 99% rust free.

Nice dash plate, gauge set, floor shifter, ididit steering column, but that's it for nice interior things. Needs paint & seats, new stereo system and put fuel tank in rear frame. Prob do that this summer.

The Holley 670 was being a pain in the ass this week so after talking to a few people and doing research I decided on a nice Quickfuel BlackDiamond 780 vacuum secondaries carb. Grabbed it today and installed it so it can be tuned tomorrow while on the dyno.
