48bigtrucks 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 Center Point	I would suggest a GM performance crate engine and put an NV4500 OD trans behind that so it won't be screaming the whole time. Go with the 300 hp version for decent horsepower but still having engine longevity, Scott Scott Ward 2 1948 1.5-ton Loadmasters The red one and The snow pusher 1 1950 3100 1 1955.1 Chevy 6500 1 1954 Chevy 6500 2-Ton 1 1955 1st Series COE 5700 1 1963 K20 (454) 1 1964 C10 (350) 1 1951 1.5-ton Dump Truck 1953 and a 1956 Ford F800 Raising a teenager is like trying to nail Jello to a tree!
