thing about it is, it's at least a 1 ton ( probably 1.5 or better ) so the cab is larger than the 1/2-3/4 ton's, so it's going to need an engine in comparative size, want a Ford motor so I'll probably build a stroked 460 for it, blown possibly.probably build a full 6' bed for it, just to keep dimensions right. Advance Auto sells pre thinned laquer dupli color paint in like 6 colors for $19.99 per quart, so for approx $80 I could paint the entire truck.
