yea the frame is quite heavy. for now just guna kinda do a budget build to have somthing together i got a 351 and 5spd tranny guna run a 9 inch clutch an i picked up a transfer case out of another army truck not guna have tons of power for now but atleast itl be mobile. i got leaf springs out of a 3/4 ton disel hopin there guna be heavy enough. not sure what kinda body is goin on it just yet. ill keep pictures posted tho as the build goes on.

That's true I'm assuming 1st gear is probably low since it was a gas box truck but I guess I got
Some research to do. I guess will find out one way or another anyway
