Re: 39 Chev 1.5 ton, need ideas what to do with it
Detroit Diesel Swap.(4-53?)
Turbo and roots compound induction.
Modern O/D tranny...stick or auto is up to you.
Drop front axle.
Stock sized skinny ribbed fronts on stock style chromed rims.
Modern drive axle with wide semi singles on chrome steels that mimic the fronts.
Drop the rear suspension with a scratch built coil spring set up that works/looks like a heavy version of the 67-72 2wd half tons.
Maybe shorten the frame a tad to make a wrecker body. Solid black(glossy) with bright red equipment.
