my mom just bought a lot to build a house on, and it came with a suprise. sitting on the lot is a 1955 Chevy apache pickup. complete with stock i-6 engine. needs restoration, i just have to talk her in to giving it to me. maybe it'll help me keep my warranty by spending my mod dollars on it. could be cool. i'll try to post pics later today.

 

Could be a fun project, but before you get to involved, I suggest you make sure you can get a title for the car. I'd hate to see you spend a lot of money only to not be able to title it. Good luck and definitely post some pictures.

 

her it is in all its glory. i am thinking of putting a small-block chevy 350/5 speed from a newer gm truck in it. i'll keep yall updated

i was going to take more pictures, but my camera's battery died after one shot.

 

put a Ford engine in it? nobody ever does that.

 

get a stock lgithning engine/blower and tranny, JDM prolly has a ton around or some other vendor.

 

Looks like a great project brain bypass

But like Max said, get the paper work first

You can do it ALL yourself
Motor vehicle has the papers, all you need to do is forge a sig,
as long as you know WHO it WAS last registered too,
and you have someone to notarize it.

BEEN THERE DONE THAT
Poor bastard didn't even know his schitt was gone,
and there I was driving it around 100 Legal and all mine

You tell MV you need the papers for a lost Reg
because you are selling it to a new owner.
You forge the old owners sig, get it notarized, then transfer
it to you with the paper work they give you,
Then register it under your name. PIECE OF CAKE
