i think you get a lot of info from 1963impala2dr on you tube
he doing about te same cab swap on a square body frame
hes only changing it from a heavy truck to a pickup style radrod

realy do like those cabs as well , theres a guy on the tenesee truck forum that found a real good one thats been sitting inside a barn for quite a few years
hes allso converting it intoo a radrod , took the front fenders of , z-ed the frame in the rear and dropped the beam front suspension
if i was doing one it might've been a little more gleam and shine in the paint department

there's another thing i'm considering , those super single rims are 14 inches wide
i was wondering if i would machine them down to 22 inch is theres a wide low profile tire that fit
sofar i only found off road tires that might fit them , the 22 inch mickey thompsons seem to require a 16 inch rim
i think those supers would look even better with the superwide lower profile tires and the 22 inch truckrims in the front

i'm planning on running a fleetside bed and the stock super single tires would stick out over the top of it
