A few years ago I spoke with Patrick, the owner of Patricks antique cars, regarding his truck. I was specifically interested in the Saginaw transmission conversion that he had done. He was very willing to take me for a ride in his truck to allow me to make my own impression. His truck was also lowered with monoleafs front and rear. Unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity (yet) to take him up on his offer. You may want to call or email him to get some more information.
Here is a link to his website:
