    Cab, hood, grill and fenders are all the same, pu to big truck.
    Don't see many with that long of a wheelbase, make mine look short. The long frame will help if you do a car hauler, heck you probably have enough wheelbase to add a sleeper too! Thought about keeping mine a big truck but good front brakes would of been a hassle on the bigger spindles. I found a restorer that needed my rolling chassis so my body is going on a regular duece frame and the banger into my 27 roadster.

    Cool score by the way!
     
  5. I'd run it as-is. Screw later model drive trains:)

    Have you ever driven one of these old trucks?

    Too slow for everyday traffic, 35, maybe 40 MPH max. Non syncro tranny, double clutch every shift. Stand on the brake pedal and hope it stops. It's fun...for a very short while. Unless you want a museum piece and maybe a parade once in a while it's not practical. They are not drivers as is, least not in the modern world.
