I guess it would help if u new what kind of Chevy i'm working on? duh. 1948 1/2 ton deluxe cab, sb that came from Kansas about 15 years ago and has been in my possesion for 2 years but garage kept(cement floor)

spiders, mice and all kinds of critters. It has been converted to 12v and a 1955, 235 stovebolt but never heard it run. When I saw it , the body ,and the price "the little ol lady" wanted for it, i didn't care if it ran or not. lol. Any help would be appreciated on steering, springs to lower, rearends, shock replacements and so on. THANX, Mike
