Spring project

So as you may know for over winter months I bought a 1988 Chebby halfton since my Ford is a diesel and I have a whole 5 minute drive to work. And give credit where its due I have bought a very decent truck.
So anyways got me thinking and I have a 1959 International truck cab and box thats beggin for a new life. So Im hoping once warm weather hits quickly put the IH cab onto the Chevy frame... frame will have to be shortened but it shouldnt be too hard since Im planning on keep as much components from my 88...

Where did you pick up the Ranger? I got rid of one not too long ago. Brown, rusty, red and blue door?

Should be a cool project!
