Have been lurking on the forums, where I got some questions answered & thought I should properly introduce myself.

I'm about 18 months into a complete rebuild of a '56 Chevy 3600 NAPCO. The truck started out like this:

'56 Chevy - Picking it up

Funny picture here - the Tahoe is still smiling, hasn't figured out it's about to be turned into a winter rat once the NAPCO is done:

Went down to a bare frame:

And started the slow climb back:

Current state:

If you are bored out of your mind, there are a ton of pictures on www.daveladue.com of the entire tear-down and rebuild.

Hope to be firing the fresh motor for the 1st time tomorrow nite.

Have a '55 on the way after this one is done, it's a 2wd shortbox. Looking forward to getting that one in the garage:
