I think it's a perfect candidate. I'm thinking of building a whole chassis for it and doing a change over. Now the big toss up is do I build a stocker with a 67 short frame and using the stock power assist steering setup it has. Or use a 68 to 70 chassis keeping it 6 lug. Or go 71 72 with a little drop and use these killer appliance wheels that I have had leftover from another truck I used to own. See pic

" I rode my 1952 Harley Davidson 300 miles this morning to get it. Loaded bike up and drove it back home."

I hate you.

Nice looking rides, both of them.
