My Project

[skysoldier173rd]

Finally took the time to figure out how to post, so here are pictures of my 1960 GMC short stepside. Recently pulled out the old v6 and am in the middle of installing a SBC with a 700R4 trans. It won't be long now and I'll be cruisin' with this baby. I am use to working on midwest rustbuckets, done 3 frame offs, and I really didn't want to do another. I found this old missouri truck, it's rock solid floors, only rust is a little on the bottoms of the fenders and a couple pinholes in one rocker. I've got the panels to replace both fender bottoms and both rockers. This old girl still has the original wood bed in good condition. Had 58,000 actual miles, but the old v6 had sat too long and would have cost a fortune to rebuild, so switching it out for a v8 was the best option and was my long term plan anyway, so here we go. I'll document progress as a I go now that i can do pictures.
