Reo retro tow truck

I think this truck best fits here.
I love the art deco style of the 40's REO trucks. I had my eye on this truck in a salvage yard for several years. I finally decided to by it. Next I had to decide what to do with it. After pulling it from the spot it was in I found all the axles were all locked up. I got the motor running and was given a great deal on some axles and Transfercase from a GMC CCKW. I always liked the old tow trucks, so I decided to make this a 4x4 version of d19xa as a tow truck. I have a lot of work to do on it but you guys can see where I'm going with it. I am keeping the original motor and transmission. Need to finish the bed, move the front axle back 2 inches and on and on. Anyway what do you think?
