Can any help me with me next issue? I have installed the brake booster on the frame uder the cab and getting ready to mock up the engine and tranny...It looks to me like the new brake booster will be in the way of the tranny crossmember? what are you guys doing for crossmembers? Thanks for any help.

Re: New Guy on the block..1956 Chevy Build
Not trying to be a butt head but, In the last picture one of your t-nuts is about to come out of the slot (upper a-arm shaft).

Truck is looking good. You might have too much fun driving it.

My cousin used to tear up the streets of Bakersfield in the 60's with a chevy powered (327 / 4-speed manual) model A pickup.

One of the wildest rides of my young life.

Thanks and good eye, Its was replaced....I had to take the a-arm off to re make mounts for the rack to get the steering arm under the enagine mount. I sure do hope I have fun driving it.

Nice work, have 1 question, why did you fill in the side spears on the bed sides? I always liked them, it showed it was an original side, and not a repop...Jim
