55 big window build

I started this project five years ago with just a bare cab and frame. In the past five years I have done a lot of rust repair. Replaced cab corners, hinge pockets and steps. Installed rebuilt Camaro clip. Used a ccp lowering set of rear springs. Rebuilt Camaro rearend with 373 gears and posi. Sandblasted and painted frame. I shortened a 78 van steering column to mate to the new close ratio steering gear. Drive train is a low mile gm crate 350 and rebuilt turbo 400. Here is some bad pics of truck. Will try to post some better pics later.

Thanks Kim, truck is coming along. Its taken a lot of time and even more patience to get parts from three different trucks to fit nice.
