Best conversion I've seen of late was recently completed by a neighbor/friend of mine.
He just built a 48 Ford 1/2-ton pickup on a late model Dodge Dakota frame.
All-wheel drive, and yep... It's gotta HEMI!
Very nicely done, and probably the best running Ford in the area.
He's already been contact by one of the Classic Truck mags. for a full spread and cover.
