What have I got myself into?Well I bought this truck, a 1955.2 Chevy 5700, last weekend at a farm auction. My winning bid was $300.
The truck is pretty straight but I realized when we went to pick it up, the fenders are fiberglass. So that kinda sucks. Oh well. I'll try to find some here or just roll with it for now. It has the 283, I think.
I had planned on a 6bt/nv4500 swap but I kinda backed off on the idea a bit. The rear ratios being a HI-6.10 and LO-8.10 make the high speed with a Cummins 54mph. haha These trucks were never meant to be speed demons but I'd like 65 if I can get it. Haha.
Now to get a shop-vac drug out and get it cleaned up and see what else is not as expected.
