Lots of good info. This board is so much better than google for stuff like this. Hell, for almost anything.
This truck belongs to one of my neighbors, actually the guy who owns the supermarket on the next corner. I met him because he wanted to buy Paul's 356, (I meet a lot of people that way).
I tell them, "make an offer!" For the right amount of $$$$, I'm sure that I could break the news to him.
He's a Korean guy, limited english but a nice guy who is very smart and absolutely loaded. He loves old cars but doesn't know a lot about them, probably grew-up his entire life in Korea without ever getting to see any. He owns this HUGE Korean supermarket that looks like it takes in about a million dollars a day gauging from the size of the lot and the traffic.
He has this truck + a few other cool older cars including a clean '66 Mustang FB. (Mandatory Mustang content for this bbs). He asked me about converting the truck and I thought, hmmmmm....maybe. I know that it's not rocket science but I would need a clean install w/ all parts, otherwise it turns into a monkey trying to fk a football. (Me).
FWIW, I like my old trucks Ford and as stock as possible. A 100% stock '53 F-100 w/ flathead+ 3-on-the-tree and OD would be my choice. I don't care if only goes 60mph, that's what I want. I have plenty of modern cars to drive.
