Picked up a 1945 1/2 ton

[jrusher]

For engine i was originally planning to use a l33 5.3 but this summer I had to swap the 283 out of my 66 for a 327 and I ended up with a spare set of 462 ported camel heads, big cam , roller rockers, intake and carb then came across a l79 short block for cheap so figured myswell build another 327 and use it in this truck, Was super happy with the 327 i built for my 66 it has the dome pistons , 461 heads, nice cam , quadrajet. It rips real good super snappy for what it is. For transmission id like to use a camaro t5 like i just used in my 66 but will keep an eye out for a 200r4 auto as well . Both are getting hard to find around here. I found a nice set of rear fenders actually ended up with 2 sets and sold the one set . Took along time to find rear fenders and a tailgate. Found the tailgate in Montana had a buddy pick it up for me along with all my suspension parts
