Hy Chuck malone, welcome, by what you wrote it looks like you really want a modern truck with an older style body on it. It would probably be easier to mount an old body on a more modern chassis with whatever running gear you prefer rather than make a lot of modifications to an older chassis that will take a lot of time and re-engineering. I realize this suggestion may sound harsh but I'm trying to be practical with my suggestions, hope that helps.

I've already done that I'm looking for alttle more of a challenge . Like to stay original looking I like the frame shape. And I have a year to kill. So here I go. I'll post some pics of of where I'm at and the progress I've made. Hope to revive some tips on my journey.

I've done a 3100 on a s-10 that frame is too small for my needs. But I'm open also to a frame change if I decide to go that route. Just need ideal of what would be a good donor

Check out what Grigg has done with his 1948 project...he has a Detroit Diesel with a Road Ranger trans with disc brakes all the way around.
