Hi, I have a 53 5-window pick-up that was purchased by my grandfather..My Dad put a 283 w/ a 4-speed & used the stock axel house, but changed thre pumpkin to a open driveshaft. I got the truck when I turned 16 and drove it till I jioned the service. when I returned home I changed it to a 327, th400 and the 12 bolt and pacer front end swap, powered brakes. I also have a 1987 monte carlo ss aerocoupe that i just finished fixing up. Now I want to get started on my pickup again. Its been parked in my garage for around 7 yrs now..
