Hello everyone, new member from WestCentral Louisiana, about to jump into building my 56 truck. I've already learned a lot from the forum, you guys seem very knowledgeable and helpful.

"...you guys seem very knowledgeable..."

We've made a lot of mistakes and we'll own up to them so you can find new mistakes to make.

What engine in the '56?

Someone put a Buick 225 v6 in it. And I'm sure I will be making plenty more mistakes.

Welcome LaWay,

You have come to the right place for questions and mistakes!!!
We’re all “Perfectly Imperfect” we’ve all done both, like gm says post some pictures and fire away with questions we love them both!!!

Welcome LaWay! That thing should run well with a 225 V6 in it. TJones has a sweet little CJ with a hot V6. Plenty of power there!

I may not be going with the 225. I'm thinking of doing a body swap with a Nissan Pathfinder I have. When I figure out how to post pictures, I will put some on here.

Just from a first look, that's not such a bad looking body.

I agree Larry, it looks like it is all there. Post some more pictures LaWay.
