So I've started my build. I have a 53, serial number 1, but decided not to chop up the first one built in 53. I bought a 51 Chevy 1430 1 ton. It has a box hoist. The cab and front end is mint. The doors and windows open like a new car. Bought it from the original owner. I took the cab and front end off the 1 ton frame and popped them onto a 85 Chevy 1/2 ton shortbox frame. Wheelbase is within 1 inch but the wheel stance/width is an issue. i think I'll stretch all 4 fenders outward 3 inches. This will clear the tires I plan to use.
