Vehicle history
was started by me and my brother he passed away during the build.so truck got set aside for awhile. then me and my dad decided to v8 swap and back half the truck. then he also passed away.so at that time I decided to body drop the truck and make it a memorial truck for them. and with some help we have made it into a truck I feel they would have both loved. the 55 dash was put in the truck because that was the my brothers favorite year of chevys.
Thanks to
