This is a big project to do well.

The problem isn't getting the cab mounted, that part is relativly easy. The challenges are getting the wheels to fit inside the front fenders and bulding a mount to hold the front fenders in correct relationship to the cab.

And then all the little stuff like steering and brake peddle and etc.

Its possible to do, but not a trivial project.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

If you have a complete 50, putting in the 61 motor etc. would make a lot simpler.
