yes it will be kept stock by the way the 55 GMC w/ the questions about the gauges is not the same vehicle. I seem to get myself into helping lots of folks w/ their trucks. I personnaly own a 69/70/71 short wide w/a 69 GMC front clip and 70 3/4 GMC running gear w/ the chev box and frame from a 71 w/ disc fronts thanks doug
