Yep I will. it will take a couple days to get a digital picture and post it

This truck is too big for me to drive on the street so I want to figure out how to get a shorter wheel base and lighter duty. I am thinking there isnt much I am going to keep to get it to resemble a pick up.....
I guess you wouldnt be comfortable driving mine on the street then, I have a CC404 2.5 ton. It's long, the wheelbase is 177 1/4. The frame measures 21 ft. from end to end.
I think the easiest way to get shorter wheelbase & lighter duty, is to go with a 1/2 ton Chevy. I kind of felt the same way you do when I first got my truck, but as I got further into it I decided to keep it original. I just think the bigger trucks should be kept big.


Not sure what I will do. Just looking for ideas. I am going to haul it home over the holidays. I am thinking that selling my 62 Biscayne 409 car might speed this whole process along......
