I used a 64 Chevelle in my 55 simply because Classic Trucks had an
article on that swap and recommended it as the easiest and outlined it step
by step. It fits into your frame rails like a glove and it was pretty easy.
I love the ride and have never regretted it. The only thing I would have
done different would be to use one with disc brakes even though mine stops
quite well after upgrading to a dual master cylinder. The 75 Nova tilt
column I installed bolted up to the steering box with no mods except a
column drop. Cost was 75.00 for the clip and 50.00 for the welding. My
advice: measure, measure, measure Deacon 55 Chevy
