New Plan....

So, my new to me 1948 KB-2 showed up today....and It has more issues than sellers pics let on to. But, with all of this done, this truck screams V8 to me! So, plans to pull cab and bed and part out everything else. S10 swap in the plan (kind of was anyway), Rockauto carb order cancelled. And hopping the smell in the cab is dead already...............

Re: New Plan....

I've put the D series on 2000 Nissan Frontier, once. Never tried a S10 or Dakota swap. Getting the front wheels centered in the front fenders was the challenge (although IHC doesn't center wheels, either).
Also, knowing how much of the radiator support to section is a little tricky.
Send lots of pictures!
