I got in my mind this will make an awesome reliable tow and travel rig with a classic bright yellow 30's bus body. Any concerns with fitting this new chassis underneath as I know I am going to have to widen the fenders a bit up front? I need some front sheet metal so I also was looking toward finding and utilizing a 36 to 38 Dodge 1.5 ton front clip for some more room under the hood for coolers and such.
More to come as this isn't a project for the faint hearted weekend dreamers and probably still take me several years to complete too...
Looks like a fun project for sure. You can start a build thread on this forum in the Alternate Tinkerings area.
