3200 Napco 1/2 ton Conversion

[bajabob]

Tired of lurkin around here and was talked into posting up some photos of my project. Lots of talented people here and thanks for keeping it going.

This is my 1956 3200 Napco "upfit". My dad is to blame for this addiction and this was his truck that he drug around hopin to finish one day. My plan is to complete what he was not able to. My son is a big part of this project and is now into old trucks as well.

My initial plan was to keep the classic looks but to update the drive train with all modern stuff. After I stumbled onto the "NAPCO" stuff, my plan kinda of went sideways.

I scored a complete set of Napco axles, transfer case, leaf springs, drive shafts, pretty much everything I need to "upfit" my two wheel drive truck to four wheel drive, just like they would have done back in 56'.

I have traded the I6 for a 283 that will go ol skool style similar to what a guy back then might have done.

I dig the custom stuff most guys are doing here and hope you all don't mind something a little more conservative.
thanks
