Lets see the pictures of the '51 flatbed. It just might get someone's juices flowing to do it with an early body. If it doen't work out there will be some traditional parts for sale cheap.

Wasasedan can't post them, I can email them to someone if they can put them up on the board.

Hate this one if it makes you feel better, but it's a damn clever mid-engine pickup with a Porsche 914 engine and transaxle. Once it's completed and fully sorted on the road it's going to be fitted with a fresh pumped motor and a pair of intercooled turbos. At around 1700 pounds it should be an exciting ride.

I used a '68 Toronado with the 455 engine. Made my own rear coil towers and used '70 big block Chevelle springs, A/C, etc....
