55.2-59 Project 57 D/Gas

[Vet145]

First post, but I have been using this site for a ton of information; thank you!!

This will be an on-going thread which I will update as progress continues. I'm a ways into it now, so I figured I would post where it is now.

I've built a few jeeps and a 67 RS Camaro (Still kicking myself for selling that one!) Not a speed shop by any means and this is a garage build, but I've done my fair share of project welding and body work.

I was wanting to build a 1/4 mile 64-66 Chevy truck. Not looking to set the world on fire, I figured D/Gas at 10.60 ET would be a good fit.

Spent some time looking, not really finding anything that wasn't overpriced for what I wanted to do.

My newly found brother in-law (Long story) had a 57 for sale that met the criteria and the price was right.

Drove the 12 hours to see some (New) family and drag it home.

Yes, truck is on the trailer backwards because the motor and trans are in the bed.
