To me it'd work better as a crew-cab, but aside from looking rough, you've got a decent truck to work with as it is...so it's simply personal preference/money that dictates the decision to me. I do really like that black one above 1979 Dodge Lil' Red Express - 360 rwhp, 13.2 @ 103mph 1968 Coronet: 318, 2.76, 15.2 @ 92mph!

Quote: If you weren't so fat away Id be interested in the cab if you decide to use the retrain elsewhere I will be parting out a lot of it, but first I want to use it to haul the C500 home. After that I'll be selling off what I don't need. It'll be a month or two before I can drag the C500 home. In the meantime I'm going to get all of the mechanicals fixed up so everything is roadworthy. Go figure... "rat rod it" got the fewest votes, and that's what I've decided to do. Should make an interesting tow piece! https://i.imgur.com/tmuGzov.jpg

As for this one, I'm putting the 1963 C500 body on it. I want it to look similar to the green / white one in the pic, but I plan on leaving the paint as-is if possible, just a few touch ups, a light scuff, and some satin clear. I'm not going to put a utility bed on it like the one in the pic. I want a long stepside bed painted/ aged to match the cab with big fenders on it, so I'll have to come up with something. I'd rather leave the wheelbase right where it is for a better ride and towing, so it'll be a loooong bed. I want mine to have a little more forward rake as well, but the tire / wheel combo should take care of that. 7823658-00ga.JPG (3952 downloads) https://i.imgur.com/tmuGzov.jpg

I like the long look with the big/little rollers - so I want to run 16 inch wheels up front and matching 22.5s in the rear; either stockers up front with big steel Budds painted shiny the same color as the truck, or matching big / little 10-hole Alcoas like on the fire truck. The bed will need to be higher to cover the rear wheels, but mine wont be sitting on the ground like the IH, so it should work. 7823668-firetruck.jpg (1579 downloads) https://i.imgur.com/tmuGzov.jpg

The plan is to use it as a daily driver with tools and parts on board to service my small delivery truck fleet, and occasional use towing my cars around. With that in mind, I'll try to keep the running gear / chassis as original as possible... basically a funny-looking stock '92 D350. She sure doesn't look like much right now.... 7823670-00g0g_eCs4O2T1uwD_600x450.jpg (281 downloads) https://i.imgur.com/tmuGzov.jpg
