    Hi,
    I'm a new member on the board and I'm glad that I found it during my searching for parts for my new project.
    I bought end of last year a 57 Chevy truck in parts which sits in Germany since early 90ies.
    It already had a 75 Camaro front clip and 74 Nova rear axle.
    Engine and ****** were missing and body parts were sand-blasted (and rusty again).
    I had to weld some to get rid of the too-rusty parts, but mostly the sheet metal is solid.
    What I did so far is:
    - 78 TransAm rear with Eaton s-clip posi
    - Rear axle flip
    - c-notches
    - S10 gas tank behind the rear
    - SBC350 engine
    - TH2004R ******
    - All new rubber
    - Dual exhaust with h-pipe
    - G20 steering column with tilt and shift
    - rebuild bed
    - 1996 suburban sway bar on the rear
    - G20 emergency brake
    - Under-cabin power brake/ master cylinder
    - Lokar Column Cable Shift Linkage
    - Chevy Malibu bench seat
    My plans for the next steps are:
    - coil overs on the front
    - cleaning the dash (remove ashtray, controls, etc)
    - 1pc Windows from Brothers
    - all new wiring, brake/fuel lines and hoses
    - Nice 2tone paint (flat blue / White)
    - Red rallyes 7/8x15 with white walls (205/75R15, 225/75R15)
    What is missing and what I posted in the wanted area is 57 grille and cluster gauge.
    If you have any comments, advices or parts, just let me know.
    I appreciate any support.
    Thanks from Germany,
    Markus

    Welcome Markus. It looks like you are well on your way to having a really nice pickup. Do you have any current pictures you can post?
