I'm building a 1936 Chrysler like this as we speak,
with the same sleeper, idea.
----------------- Clip ------------------
People been doing that for years but they take the simple route and put a
Camaro or Firebird frame assembly under the front .......... comes with
engine, tranny, PS/Alternator, A/C, Steering, Disk Brakes.
There are lots of 32-55 Chev and Ford trucks running around with this easy
mod.

I'm building a 1936 Chrysler like this as we speak,
with the same sleeper, idea.   I'm updating all
the mechanics, electronics,etc.  It will get PS,
air, PB, PW, in time.  The body will remain
as old and warm out as the day I got it.  Cool
idea.  I thought I was the originator, but I guess
this guy beat me to it!!
