First off, let me tell you how great it is to be apart of this crew. I have looked for weeks to find a good forum, and was refered by a friend. I owe many thanks!

Now, I have just bought a 56GMC SB that I am in love with! It has a 283 w/ mild cam and a turbo 400 with a shift kit. I picked it up last weekend for $1500(Great body too). It has been setting since '79, but with a little work, got the motor unfrozen and running. My goal is to have the hottest rat rod on the cruse...

Now here is where I need help:
1) I want to replace the front and rear end with disc brakes and update suspenion. What car should I use as a donor? Who has one?

2) I have a BB 427 that I want to use for the build. Any problems here?

This is where I will start for now. Thank you all for the help!
