My concern with those is what happens when someone wants to treat the truck like a real truck... the ones I can think of are all '47 to '54 cab and not the same as yours.
My first thought for one of these is a GM P30, which is a forward control chassis used under motorhomes and bread trucks and that kind of thing. The steering is already configured right and you are starting with a real truck.
I saw a '39 GMC at a car show yesterday that would be similar to what you describe. Mostly faded original paint, setting on a modern frame with a 454 and TH 400 mounted just behind the cab. I took some pictures but never caught up with the owner.
1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
