A-Body Guy Dabbling in Early B-Bodies Now

[Brad4406]

Hello everyone. I'm a diehard A-Body guy, same handle here as on FABO, but I picked up a 65 Belvedere II. It's a little rustier than I wanted, so I still haven't decided whether to get it running and sell it or replace the doors, half quarters, rockers, etc. and build it how I want. It came with a supposedly running 1976 Truck 440 steel crank engine and two 727 transmissions. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.

I guess I never bothered to follow back up with pictures.

Since then, I purchased a '62 Polara, '62 Dart, and sold the '65 Belvedere after pulling the 440 from it. The plan is to get the Dart on the road with the steel crank 440 pulled from the Belvedere, hemi 4-speed, and Dana 60. After that, I'll get the Polara on the road, which I believe to be mostly original with 361 ci, A/T, and 8 3/4.
