Hello all. I'm new here & hoping to get some information on the truck that I recently became the owner of. I'll attach pictures & all the information that I currently have. Overall I am hoping to get a general understanding of what I have or rather what this truck is. What it originally was. What it has or what it originally had. Also to determine what it might be capable of. I have plans for it & have sourced the things needed to see the project thru like a different engine, a cube box w/ lift gate & other miscellaneous odds & ends. I'm in Minnesota & my goal is to take this truck & remove the engine that is locked up & replace it with a 351, remove the 22' x 8' flat bed along with its hydraulic tilt setup & replace it with a 20' x 8' x 8' box off a 2019 box off a 2019 Freightliner along with its 8' x 8' rear lift setup. I need all of that completed before the snow starts accumulating on the ground here. Is it a lot of work? Yes. Is it realistic? I believe that it is & I don't want to take the next step until I get some input from folks that are familiar with these trucks and/or may even have experience doing something similar that they can give a few pointers on. I'll add the photos now & if more are needed or a specific one needs to be taken I'll be sure to get that uploaded. Thanks in advance.

 

This will be an interesting project... looking forward to seeing what you do.

 

what engine is currently in it? being a 71, i would guess a 391 FT.
if so, a 351 windsor is gonna be too small for a truck that size.

 

It's a 330 HD. See the Large Truck forum. I'll add a link to the thread there later.

It's later. Please see the thread below to learn more and help the OP with his truck.
