newest square ( kinda)

So ive been huilding this a while.. the body is a 1951 International L 110. My wife wanted a hot rod pickup and i just couldnt afford those 50s trucks from GM as at the time they were over 5500 for a decent builder quality. I found this and of course it didnt run or anything and you cant readilly find parts, not to mention the thing at top speed would top out at 55mph. then it hit me
the sntire chassis and the running gear are chevy frame is a 1982 Chevy C 10 shortbed, 350 motor and th 350 trans.. Pretty easy to convert . tare off the body mounts for the cab front and rad support, make new ones for the cab front ( the international rad support was able to be modified to fit} and a GM column customized to work.
Right now its in farm truck motif for the holidays but i will get around to a nice custom paint job in burnt orange.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
