I love my old engines. As you can see from my videos listed on my Gallery page, all but one are rusty or original paint. I sold the restored one. I love patina.
I'm glad to be here! I just want to educate myself on the '55 so I can figure out what to do with it. I have 4 ideas for it, none of which I favor yet. I have other projects I have to finish first, mainly my '49 Willys. So just kicking ideas around.
My 4 ideas are:
1) Take the complete 4WD drivetrain out of an '83 K20 and put it in and make a smaller, more sporty flat bed
2) Do a resto-mod with a V8 and automatic tranny
3) Combine 1 and 2 to make a 4WD dually, keeping original rear axle.
4) Build a gasser (my dad's idea)
All 4 ideas use the 350 V8 from the K20.
