Picked up a LS 5.3 and 4L60E trans today
We picked up a complete LS 5.3 and 4L60E trans from a GMC truck today, I have plans to freshen it up and put in the 1950 project but it may in up in the 57.
88 Corvette Engine Removal
We made more progress on tearing down the 88 Corvette donor car.
This top was cut off and sold yesterday and this was the progression of the engine removal today. The engine is finally out. Thanks to my friend Allen Pezo for some needed help!
The New 1988 Corvette Donor Car Has Arrived
If you have been following us you will recall we have been planning a build for our 1957 GMC truck project. The truck has been in the family since it was almost new and it has been in California so very little rust. It is still in California and it looks like it will not be ready to ship until mid March so that has left me a lot of time to do planning and parts collecting 🙂
New 1957 GMC Shop Truck Project
We got an opportunity to buy a 1957 GMC project truck from our family that has been in the family as far back as I can remember. The truck is beat up a bit but it is a California truck so very little rust. We are planning on making the truck a short bed, doing a complete modern suspension upgrade, add an LS engine with an automatic trans, power steering, power brakes and a lot of coolness.
I have also included a few pictures of an inspiration truck that I would like to recreate some lines from. Now I have to think of a name for the project.
