    neat truck! I wonder why the crossmember was cut, were they gonna put a big block ford in it or something? there's no reason to do that for any chevy motor that I know of...unless maybe it was a straight 6 out of an early nova

        PU is a little more stripped then this now.

        Looking for shop to soda blast body and sand blast frame.

        Looks like Jesse's using a Speedway Crossmember for a mustrang II up front.

        Heidt's triangleulated four link for the rear, left over part from 1956NY150

              Hey, you're prolly already aware, but doesn't soda blasting create paint adhesion issues?

              Like, to the point where paint co's won't even warranty the paint?
              Yes, I'm a CarJunkie... How many times would YOU rebuild the same engine before getting a crate motor?
