If you want to go the whole way, take out the 239ci SV and install an OHV & auto transmission, then put it on 20 inch CMP wheels. Very quick truck, but of course, no longer an authentic vehicle restoration.

Was actually considering spacers and lowering the springs with wider tyres!! Then there is the paintwork ha ha!

Seriously though want to be respectful to it and keep it as close to original as possible whilst at the same time make it easier to drive and take out to events etc.
