About my C10 Pickup

1940 Chevy pick up,cab, sheet metal and frame all steel and original. The custom comes in at the suspension. I have mounted the rear and front suspension pods from a 1985 Jaguar. Yes it is four wheel independent suspension. No major sugery was done to the original frame. Six tabs were fabbed and installed and I even used the otiginal rear leaf spring mount and fabbed a torque rod to stablize the rear wheels.
The engine is a 307 cid from a 1987 Monte Carlo. The transmission is a basic turbo 350. Of coarse the truck is still in build stage. The suspension,motor transmission are all mounted. It as been trailored to 2 car shows as work in progress and has place first and second.
