I'll dig out those pics and scan them. I've been wondering if I should take that 75 KW 900 that was sitting on my goose neck trailer and put a 456 cab on it, probably have to use 8v DD instead of the 350 big cam because of hood space. Former owner just rebushed the hendrickson rubber pad, its got aluminum frame and power steering. Can you imagine passing that on the hiway
Someone around here put a '60 to '60 Cab on some kind of chassis that was pretty cool. A friend of mine saw it, although I never got a chance. It most likely is an out of town truck, but anyway my friend heard a Detroit approaching with the guy maxing out the RPM's and systematically rowing through the gears. He was expecting a GMC 9500, or an International, maybe even a Ford, but here showed up a '60 to '66 2-Ton truck. Believe it had a 6-71.
