got myself a new project, a 1956 ford F350 chassis cab that is being turned into a beavertail so i can haul cars around and take them to shows, not sure what engine i will have a budget for but it will be alloy and a ford v8, alloy to keep weight down, and ford to keep in the right brand, not sure on colour either yet, maybe satin black, its very solid, and should make for something more interesting than a transit beavertail, a basic 1956 f350 only weighs in at 1.7 tonnes, and thats with a cast iron v8, hoping to have it built and road going at under 2 tonne, giving me a good payload, got to extend the chassis by 2 ft to give me a good length bed, looking at around 14ft beavertail, it will be a very basic alloy beavertail to keep weight down, in america the 56 f350's GVW is 4.2 tonnes, but i will be down plating it to 3.5 tonnes to keep it in the same weight category as a 3.5 transit.
