my 75 auto trans manual trans swap

[cdpence69]

i am 13 years old and i bought a 1975 chevy custom deluxe with no motor which i am going to put a 383 in but i dont like it because it is a auto so i am going to put a  gear driven np205 transfer case in it and put a manual 4 speed in it. I am going to completely restore it. Here are pictures the computer is slow so I can only do one at a time thanks for viewing.

u know what would be realy cool is is u put a set of wagon wheels off of a 77' truck which are extremly rare and put the bonanza pacakge on it that would be rare.

[hotrod24]

yea i thought about that but dont know yet depends what i can find. are you restoring the whole truck as in taking the cab off redoing the frame? i can see in your pics of your truck that your pass side rocker needs replaced what is your plans for that?

[cdpence69]

i am not taking the cab off but i am having my body man weld in the cab panels that are needing repaired then i am going to spray the bottom of the floor with a rubberized under coat to prevent rusting. thet am am going to restore it and give it all of the cheyanne options.
Here are some of the parts catalogs i order from and some go 73-87 truck sites.
