The '62 pickup pic stinks. I'll go take more in the morning. I'll try to get the hood sit on it if the bum back will let me. It was a good time of day for the 1ton.
I'd like to set the cab and front clip from the pickup on the '79 1ton. Slide pickup cab back and extend clip back two feet and use same 1ton flat bed and frame/w bed chopped two feet. That would leave us 2 feet shorter bed and 2 feet longer front clip.
Also, add tool boxs both front & back of wheels under bed.
If someone wants to, tinker with no front clip & open motor.

Someone may ask, why change? Pickup has tag and title and personally, I won't sit the engine on a suspension lighter than a 1ton. When we get the engine, clutch,tranny and all combined, it will probably weigh 23-2400#

Run 2 more hrs on "Balaur" today. Running better.
Thanks,
Cayoterun
