Hi all, my name is Luke. I've had a '92 YJ for quite a while, it's built a bit for rock crawling but is still streetable.
I'm seriously considering buying a 55 pickup project. I don't know much about it so any advice for things to look at would be appreciated. It has been sitting for years but the frame looks solid and the body isn't too bad. Probably needs cab corners but I think the floors are ok. I know it has a small block Chevy. Supposedly it ran when the interior was disassembled. I'm told it's a 350 crate engine but who knows. It's automatic but I don't know what trans. Axles look period if not original.
It's a big project but I've been saying for a long time that I want to do something like this. I recently did a partial restoration on my 96 Chevy K2500 to repair some rust and preserve it for a while. This would be much bigger but could be fun. What do you think?
