wanting some ideas for my 41
I've been a lurker here for a while now and am thinking of plans for my 41 cmp. It's too nice to part out, too rough to restore with my patience and a.d.d. I am a steel fabricator and have the ability to build just about anything, and I do.
I've been toying with the idea of putting a bt4 in it to give it some power and reliability. I already split the rims to widen them for some larger tires seeing as the wheelwells will handle some much bigger tires. I'm looking to build it as a potential daily driver. I realize some of the purist will not like it, but it's missing a lot and has been farmer fixed for years. it's kinda messed up. It was probably heading for scrap before I got it.

Welcome
I think you will find all sorts of opinions on this forum, but there is only one that counts - yours. The "purist's" opinions should only count if they are funding the restoration or modification.
Post some pictures if you could, please. We are always interested in seeing "new" CMPs here. I would be very interested in seeing your split rim mod. Again, welcome to the wonderfully weird world of CMPs!

As far as 41 Cab 12 Chev's go, it looks to be in really good nick.
If you're looking to turn it into a daily driver, I hope you're short. Being thin would be an advantage too.. Good luck with it. Look forward to progress photo's as you go.

John,
If your plans will save this vehicle from being scrapped.....................go for it. Do whatever makes this truck drivable and practical for YOU. Lets see it when its done though

Doing a little prep work before it goes into storage for a couple months while we build a new shop. If I'm paying for storage i'm not storing it with nothing on the back of it. Not going to be using this deck though.
