Huge site and they really know what they are doing.

You know John and Peggy? Small world.
The most successful conversions I've seen strips the donor truck down to the frame and adapts the early body to it. I'm not a fan of conversions that stick in a newer engine & trans, a disc brake conversion for the 56's straight axle, and a custom ratio Ford 9 incher in the rear. It's been done to death, so it must work on some level, but the later suspension is a lot better than the old beam axle.
