We have built probably a dozen Art Deco (41 to 46) trucks, panels, and burbs but just recall two that were close to factory specs. My advice would be to first get the brakes and suspension up to specs and then DRIVE it. Forget the like to have frills and first see if an old truck is what you expected. There has been a number of drop outs when "cute" didn't cut it. I will guarantee it will be WAY noisier, stinky, harder to stop and steer, cramped, and blind that most anyone under fifty years old has experienced. If you decide after having the old truck experience to proceed to go faster and stop better then the air noise will increase a bunch with each 10mph gain in speed and a-c/heat will disappear above 65 mph without serious cab/door/windshield/vent work. Here are some up to date pics of a mostly stock 46 we did 30 years ago that can cruise at 65 but has no a-c or conversation above 55. Also a pic of a 1940 (same cab) that is quiet and warm/cool at 70mph for a mere $70k.
