ANyone know a good source, (BBS/website/etc.), for info or kits to put a newer drivetrain in an old ('50s), Chevy truck?
It's not for me. One of my neighbors has a '56 Chevy PU that he wants to put it in for the auto trans, A/C, etc... I've seen a million of these and it seems like the obvious thing is to get a newer GM donor vehicle and just switch everything over. Most I've seen have the newer steering column.
When I say, "newer", I mean '70s/'80s. I can't imagine that he wants the cost and complexity of transferring computers and FI related components. Just a SBC and TH350 w/ floor shift seems easy enough. If there are decent pre-fab kits with the mounts or some kind of easy recipe for this swap, I might get involved for the right price.
TIA as always.
