I just traded for this truck. ( 9/01/2013 ) I was going to remove the cab and mount it on a 1974 Dodge Motor homes chassis. After looking at the truck, it is in pretty good shape, and with only 42,000 miles on it , I believe I will restore the truck as original. The motor is stuck so I will be rebuilding it. As I want to use this as a hauler and a daily driver, I am considering putting in a 265 Cu. In. crank and rods to make a 265 Engine out of it. I will keep the original block and head so as to have the original numbers and look. I am kind of slow doing this kind of work but I do as close to perfect work as I can do. I hope to have this truck on the road by next summer. Garry
