Soooooo, I have a few 46 and 47 Dodge trucks. One happens to be a 1947 1.5 ton grain truck that I pulled out of a farmers shed. It had been parked since 1969.

Anyway, the point.... I also have a 73 Dodge van... well, sorta. It was a class C motorhome, the fella stripped the camper off and now its a flatbed 1 ton van with no roof, no back wall etc... But, its a 1 ton chassis with duals.

Now on to the question. Why not strip the front and rear suspension out of the van and weld it into the 47? Cant be any harder than dong a Volare front end can it? Disc brakes, power steering and all... am I missing something or should be an ok idea. No I have not done any measuring yet. I'll drag the van in here once I get my Challenger done.
