Default just bought a 1956 ford panel truck
i must stop buying toys, needs work but it came up at the sort of price u don't pass up, $850 or just over £500, thinking a 302 or 351 v8, and full air ride so i can slam it to the floor when i feel the need.

My mate is rebuilding a 1956 Ford pick up, putting a Jag V6 in there.

Cool project dude

Seriously cool! I'd keep it looking pretty much as is (well, aside from working lights and stuff), and just drop a serious V8 under the hood!
