Well you'll get lots of answers for this one! But if it was my choice I
would definitly ditch the original motor and tranny. I've been to shows, rod
runs, and rode with original powered trucks. Although I can see the attraction,
was never impressed with the daily driven, performance needed. Or better
said...wanted
But I am very interested in your project, due to the fact I've been thinking
along the same lines. Building somthing I could use as a work truck. I have a
irragation service company.
Looking for a ole DIVCO, but would love to see a picture of yours. Can't
really picture what it looks like.
But you are definitly in the right place!
