I'm going with "GO FOR IT"!! If you can't find the parts,or if the engine is too under-powered,sell the engine/trans,and use that money for an up-gradable newer chassis/powertrain swap. If you have a place to store it,take your time,do your homework,and find a compatable chassis. In the "Gallery", Eric Bureau's got a NICE L.C.F. '55 Chevy,with a Freightliner chassis,Cummins 6CT,(8.3 L.),9-speed Fuller/Eaton trans.,plus air brakes/suspension. He did have to do some major firewall mod's,as well as narrowing the front axle 14",to tuck under the wheel wells. But,it's an idea. Pic's say it all!! Good luck!!
