That would probably work. I was thinkin 40's, 50's. She LOVE the look of the early 50's Chevy's, but I'll be danged if I'm gonna invest that much time and effort into a Chevy body. I can get a 52 3-ton Chevy cab and clip for $200, but I don't want Chevy. I LOVE the mid-70's body lines, and also the Ford from Sanford and Son. How much you think he wants for rest of the '76?

Man, PLEASE do. I can't find one anywhere for under $4k. Even the one from govliquidation.com are 2500 bucks, and there's aren't any guarantees on those. I'm trying to make connections with guys at Whiteman and Fort Leonard Wood to see if they can track me down one, and maybe 1000 gallons of JP8...

Now Mudder ... If the JP8 don't work jus' brang it down in the general direction of 460 and I and we'll scare up some moonshine likker fur it 
BTW ... That '51 F-2 that I bought in Southern Illinois Tuesday, and am gonna' part out; came out of the factory as a flat bed "stake truck". It has 8 lugs on all 4 wheels. You think maybe it might be muddin' material ? Maybe it's gotta beefed up suspension and heavier rack on it 
Later.

How is the body on it? Not sure if a vehicle with that antiquated of a drivetrain would be any good for mudding, but if the body is good, it'd be a GREAT transplant to put on a 78-79 truck with a shot cab, kinda like the one I've got now with a 91 Chevy body on it...I was lookin around for an old body for it, but didn't come across anythig decent in my price range.
BTW, Paul - got your message, just been busier than a 1 armed paper-hanger lately.

what ya needing in the way of a body? I have a good cab and clip on a 77 3/4 2wd frame. The cab has a small area of rust that isn't that bad a fix. Unfortunately the box isn't the greatest, repairable if you wanted to spend the time and money.
