I myself wouldn't leave Happy Truck original. Tech is so much more advanced now. I'd upgrade his suspension to tubular a-arms coil over shocks, and sway bars front and rear with disc brakes up front.

Drivetrain: I've a '65 OLDS 98 out back with a 455 ROCKET. a valve grind, some head work (with porting) a mild cam, and a street demon carb, 3-speed auto and posi-traction rear end. WOOHOOO!!! Look at all dem tickets!!! ;D

I'm all for all stock, but this truck is custom paint and interior. Full stock it ain't.

If thing go just right between now and October I've an eye on a '66 Buick GS. That'll be restored. The '66 'Lark I've got now I want to make a "pro-cruzer" as opposed to pro-touring. Who can afford the gas for that? Not me, not most the people I know.

But yet again...yer still being different. lol 455 olds is an 8 but still obviously different, and waaaay better to. lol That's an idea for my 64 chevy! lol
