Well said Tango...these trucks have the adaptability to perform how ever the builder/restorer wants. (Money and time being the only factor as a limitation.) Some examples are so nice, they need to be 'restored' and restored to as close to 100% as possible. These are NOT daily drivers.
Some make work trucks, some modern haulers or hot rods, and the rough ones which are nearly gone---make good ratrods. LOL

Stovebolt forum is so cool, because it lends itself just as the trucks themselves do, to a wide array of information variables.

I wanna see the Cummins in that Bigbolt!!!
