I'd like to resurrect an old b61 or71 into a daily driver/work truck. My hope is to put the cab on a modern chassis with a modern engine and transmission. I will be using it to hotshot for a camp trailer company for pocket money. Has anybody done anything like that on this forum? I don't know what size engine I can fit in there without having to completely overhaul it. I have never taken on a project like this and don't know where to start aside from buying the truck. The idea I have in my head is to take AB61 and drop the cab on a Dodge one t frame and bed. I already have the truck in mind it will be a single axle. Is there anybody on here that has made a similar truck that I could glean some knowledge and experience from?
