Congratulations, you have found a good one. There are a lot of accessories present that are usually missing, R/H mirror, winch guard, original fuel tank and hangers, 2 seats, engine dog house cover, all 4 axle lifting flanges. Flanges are indicators it may have been overseas in WW2, but returned to Canada. Looks like a little bubba stuff as in rear cab and some p.t.o. gas axe damage but nothing drastic. Your front end is missing the channel bumper, bush bar, D rings and winch fair-lead. As far as the engine goes Phil is right, go with the 261, available, parts are easy to find and its a bolt in!. Performance is good. As far as rear body goes, its doable but will be challenging, suggest finding a sheet metal worker friend and be handy at welding. I was fortunate to have a lower body section to start from. Rear bodies were made by 2 builders for the Cab 13 F.A.T. chassis. To date it, it's probably 1943-44 vintage, square roof hatch, wooden steering wheel. Late WW2 models had round hatches. If it has the original engine check S/N. There is a Chevy stovebolt web site that breaks down S/N build years. Any information you need just email me. I too found one in 2003 and finished it over 5 years. It was well worth it, a crowd favorite at our shows. Walde-Vancouver
