Projects Before and after, 1956 Chevy 3200

Here is a picture of the truck when I bought it, back in March 0f 2012, and the other is today. Been slow going but it is getting there. Ditched the straight 6 and 3 on the tree for a 327 and turbo 400. List of changes include Malibu front clip, 8.5 real axle, S10 springs, Mustang gas tank, seat from my 71 Monte, new wiring, gas and brake lines, column and pedals from a Monte. Still got to get a speedometer cable and some other issues. It has homemade parts like gas pedal linkage, muffler mounts, bed supports. Still deciding on paint scheme so its a mix right now.

 

What year monte front end? And was the seat a decent fit or did it take some fab? Doing my 3200 now as well.

The Monte provided the seat, not the front clip.

 

I'm putting a 1987 Aerostar van in my 56
