Sweet build! After I get my drag car built I have this 59 GMC fleet option truck that's getting a 5.3 and 4l60e. I bought a complete 03 gmc cargo van and I'm going to try to use as much of it as possible to keeps costs down. Love your truck!! Everyone that see's mine thinks the grill and headlights are homemade
