The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks 1960 Apache Short bed FRAME OPTIONS?...newby

Hello everyone,
Im brand new to Stovebolt. I came across it and have been glued to it since!
My Project; 1960 Chevy Short Bed Step Side Apache 10
This truck originaly belonged to my Great Grandpa! It was then passed on to my Grandpa, to my dad... and now me. That makes it a 4th Generation Apache !! It is a I6 4 speed and hasnt run for about 15 years. Since aquiring the truck I have been torn between keeping the stock drive train or swapping in a 327. My dad built the the 327 7 years ago and has since passed away...If I go that route, Im considering a 700R4 because I would like overdrive! I would also like power steering and possibly disc brakes so I have also considered finding a donor car or truck with the same wheel base to make it safer and more enjoyable at higher speeds. Hope that idea doesnt stike too many nerves. Basically I am trying to decide how to go about my build; Original or modified???
She is pretty ruff looking but my first priority is getting her driving down the road again. Any advice or suggestions on my drivtrain appreciated!! Im leaning towards a newer model short bed frame with power steering and a 700R4. If I go that route any model suggestions?

Thanks,
Jerad
