Talking 56' 4x4 ?

I remember seeing a mid-50's ford truck 4x4 at a car show here in town. It was really nice and was jacked up a lil bit and had 33's. I'm not sure what running gear it had on it, but I think it'd be the easiest to take some measurements and just swap the body onto the frame of a later modeled truck with 4x4. And if you're going to go that way, then you might as well make it like a '79 or similar with discs and power steering . That's just my input.
