6g's sounds mighty steep for a truck that needs a new back end.. i've seen 'em sell on eBay for around $2,000.

My experience with the '40's trucks is that they're pretty straightforward and easy for even the novice mechanic to keep running, but the big trucks are geared low for heavy load hauling.. they won't get you anyplace fast without a rearend swap and probably a tranny swap.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
