heres a idea, you could find like a 58-62 chevy pickup on craigs that runs for like a 1000, Id look for a full ton pick up, and swap bodies., sell off the sheet metal for the 58-62 on craigs and the original frame..
woULD A 261, 283 ,or a 305 pull his trailer? Im not expert by anymeans but it seems to me if you had time you could pull and things with a 4 speed with granny right? you wont be cruising down the interstate though.
Me i dont mind taking the scenic route from denver to boulder.. we can get there from our house in my wifes car in 25 min.. takes me about 40 on t minhe county roads, but i enjoy DRIVING
