    4000 White with a V12 had plenty of room for all that. Take the front bumper off and weld some more frame to it. Reinstall bumper, move grill and radiator forward. Make the step between the bumper and fender longer. Take two hoods and cut one down. then weld them together with a coat hanger. Paint it safety orange by hand. That mans truck may have been a little classier than your expectations but it would run. Just add a little more frame to yours for the custom radiator, air to air and condenser.

    I just saw a 351 rolling northbound on I81 in the Keystone. I don't see them often

    I've only seen pictures of them but I could see it's easy to spend a chunk of change on them
