Kelle's '54 Chevy Truck Blog #3 V8TV

http://www.v8tvshow.com - Kelle's blue '54 Chevy had some issues griding gears, so her and her dad pulled another old 3-speed from a parts '49 Chevy truck. It looks like they'll build 1 good shifting box out of the 2. It was also wheel cylinder rebuilding time, but some seem to be a little too crusty to reuse, even after a good hone job. The steel wheels that came with the truck are all cleaned up with new rubber mounted on 'em, and soon the Mexican blanket interior will go in. You'll have to see the cool old stuff Kelle found under the seat!

If you get an old truck like that is it stupid to put new parts in it? Like if you have an old truck body and frame, could you put a newer engine and transmission in? Cause i got a used 350 engine for free...

The engine in the truck is in great shape, so why not use it? It has good compression and does not use oil, so we elected to keep it on the road. Much easier and cheaper than a conversion.

I was asking if it would be stupid for Me to do that but what ever :)

[V8TV]

Sorry, I thought you were asking about our truck. You can certainly put newer stuff in if you have the skills and parts... more on this later!

@BlenderFreak777 Guy, there is nothing stupid about a project like this. If you want to put a new engine in it, do it, it's your truck and most people only wich they had one like it once it hits the road.

If your original engine is seized and you're not sure what to do with it and you have a 350 for free then why not put the 350 in the truck and strip the other one to learn more about it?
