    Hi, my name is Daniel, im from California I just bought a 1949 ford V-8 Flathead, and it is in decent shape(the body), cosmetically, I need to decide if I should completely rebuild the engine or just go with a small block Chevy/ford. my personal goal for my truck is to have a weekend car to have until my grandchildren can drive around in it. im wanting to make it into a old looking, yet modern truck. For example, the radio, im going to have a normal original dashboard, but a hidden radio underneath the seat, or dashboard. anything and everything will help guys, feel free to say anything!

    the drive train is what makes the truck check on what is around and the price on either ford or chevy
