as many of you know, i bought a 56 chevy 3600 tf
235 i6 with 4 speed on the floor.
runs and drives great, leaks oil when its warm, but i really dgaf.
practically all original, paint, upholstery, and rear bumper are the only non-oem things. the sierra is going to be put on the back burner for this project, looking to get done within a year/year and a half.


will update and change all the time.


Plans are as follows:

Engine/Trans:
6.0
Holley Hi-Ram black, 92mm TB

aeromotive fuel system
T-56

may or may not stroke it, all depends on cost.



Suspension/Chassis:
C4 corvette front and rear independent suspension (with all necessary install kits from flat out engineering) on shockwaves
willwood brakes all around
Single AZ OB2 with specialty suspension seamless 28" tank
fully box frame with tubular crossmember from TCI


Exterior:
shaved fill neck and relocate fuel tank
new wood bed
cut and contour bed corners and shave stake pockets
shave oem mirrors/emblems/top marker lights
repair passenger side cab corner (little bit of rust)
Shave bolt heads on the bumpers and re-chrome
solid window conversion with power
Budnik wheels


Interior:
haven't decided on bucket or captains chairs yet nor leather color
dakota digital VHX cluster
vintage air ac/heater system
Audison/Hertz sound system (2 6.5, single 10)
carpet
ididit adjustable steering column
budnik steering wheel to match wheels
