55.2-59 1956 Chevy 4x4 Big Block Mini-Thread

[daveshilling]

Gents, brought another one home to tinker on for a little while and then send it along. This won't be a build as much as a place to share some photos here and there and give yall a lil more entertainment.

She's a 56 Long stepper, with a '68 396 and a TH400. It's got oil in it, it turns over by turning the fan...I'm guessing they had either some carb issues or transmission problems and parked it for 20 years.


Plans:

Remove the plants and animals
See if this big block will run
Figure out all the little quirks she has, take pictures.
Probably sell it because I can't keep 'em all.
