    All I would do to the paint is wash it sand it with 3000 grit then clear it absolutely beautiful

    You should do a video on how you swapped the frame. I'm about to swap mine and love to hear about the lessons you learned doing the swap.

    Sick build! Don’t let the purists get to ya. You’re giving that sweet truck a new life. Keep up on the videos. I wish I would have recorded more of my 54 Oldsmobile Cummins swap before I sold it. Also, awesome patina! I personally would not paint it. Love the look of it.

    How bad does the doghouse impact leg room? Building a ‘49, not sure on engine yet, have a couple to choose from. Was going to do 1st gen axles on the factory frame

      Not to bad might get a little much if you plan on taking it on long road trips

      @@Menacemotors Thanks for the reply. Maybe I’ll make one out of cardboard and see if there’s enough room. Otherwise it’ll be 4bt powered.
