    How You All Are from Michigan

     



    Decided to check out some forums on hot rods to exchange some ideas. I am currently working on a 1958 chevy apache that I installed on a 1973 gmc 4x4 3/4 ton chasis. Took out 7" of the rails behind the drivetrain to get the right wheelbase. Took the four bolt main block and bored it .060 over and put in a 3.75" stroker crank to make it 388 c.i.'s . Put on a pair of dart sportsman heads, crower cam, hooker headers, holley 770 truck avenger carb. Gonna use it for the farm. My next project is going to be a low rat rod mid 30's truck and hope to pick up some ideas from this great group of people on this site.
    thanks.......mike
