Loooks like I have the oldest one. 1941 1 Ton from N. Dakota.
The bed was still good due to the fact that it had been used to pull a hay baler. In fact everthing was there to restore but I wanted a safer truck with higher cruising speed and safer brakes.
Consequently I am running a stock Chevy 350 700R4 transmission and 3.73 rear end. Front brakes are disc and rear brakes are drum.
From 10 ft away it will look stock with the 4 NOS fenders I found over the past 3 years. This truck looks like a overgrown 1/2 ton PU with a 134" wheelbase.
Chassis and running gear is complete and now waiting for a painted cab so I can start wiring and interior finishing. By the time that is done all the other sheet metal and cab should be ready to bolt on.
