The '52 6104 Build

[whateverpratt]

Here it is. Last year I acquired a '52 6400 that was originally out of NM but had found its way to a field about 10 miles away from my house. I bought it because of how little rot it has and because of a silly childhood infatuation with NAPCO's and AD trucks.

The plan is to shorten the 6400 frame down to what a 6100 frame size (take 2' out of the middle), leave the original springs, switch out the axles for h072's front and rear, swap the 235 for a 5.3 and the sm420 for an nv4500, add a divorced np205, sandblast and paint the front clip, doors and cab, and finally drop a 9 ft pickup bed on the truck.

Working at a post secondary education institution has afforded me the summer off, so I will have a couple of months to try and complete the bulk of this project. We shall see
