Hi, this is my first post but have been gathering info for awhile. I'm from just north of Kansas Ciy Missouri and have a first series 47 half ton. I bought it 8 years ago already restored, however the paint and body work was not that good. It had one of those 10 footer paint jobs. I am now in the process of re-restoring it. My goal is it make it just like it came out of the factory because it still has all original sheet metal, 216 engine, 4 speed trans and rearend. The chassis is pretty much done. We just rebuilt and installed the 216. Working on getting the body straight now. This is a great website.
