Project: Tow-Rat (Lil' Blue)

All-new direction for this build, old thread was really old, time to re-start.

old build thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=696557

The Truck: 1955 Chevy 3800 9ft box
Engine: Cummins 12V
Transmission: NV5600 6-speed manual
Front suspension: '78 C30 IFS, air bags
Rear suspension: Custom truck arm, 14bolt (cab n chassis), air bags
Chassis: 2x6 0.25 wall box and 2x3 0.25 wall box
Exterior: as-is
Interior: AC, tunes, new paint, etc
Purpose: daily / tow rig

well, basically a year since i unloaded it, it's time to get back to building! started gathering parts, and started to un-burry the truck. yes, i was way more packed in ...

i snagged the IFS cross member off the c30 chassis, and the rear bumper ... threw the 14b behind the shed ... and scrapped the rest. i've decided this truck needs to be tight and right, not just a rat. while doing that i'm going to try to not just throw money at it though, i guess we'll see. for what i'm doing i don't think i needed to spend an extra $3k on the front suspension, so it's all new but "all stock" '78 c30.
