57 reo cab on a s10 frame

[rat rod guy]

we bought this off craigslist this is the start of our build. it came with a running 318 mopar in it.. so we desided just to use it

 

[rat rod guy]

we chopped top 5 inches flipped rear springs and mono leafed them lowered it about 4inches in rear.. cab sits on frame. moved cab back a few inches.. I has a early 60's ford box that we narrowed and shortened. we notch frame over rearend for clearance.

we also steped the frame in the front to get it low.. we thought about drop spindels for the front. but its low right now.. the cab is so low the had to make a driveshaft tunnel cause it was above stock floor of cab.. I have to get them pictures off my phone.. right now we trying to build the headers and figure out the steering colum.

That looks pretty cool, I love the 318's, was one of my favorite motors and with a torqflite its rocking chair smooth. (Some say it shifts to smooth, when they're right you can't even feel them shift). Anyway, good luck with it!

Best way to learn is to learn by doing it, then you learn better ways as you build more!
