That's an interesting base for a project. Anyway, apart from the drivetrain, it seems like one of your first priorities would be fitting seatbelts to the truck, at least some old-school lap belts. And even if you end up adding some modern amenities such as A/C and power steering, I guess you agree with me that it would be cool if the interior looked the closest to stock possible.

The folks at Motor City Flathead really seem to know a lot about it. I've always been a Chevy guy, but actually became interested in flathead engines when I found out more about Mark Kirby and those re-engineered flatheads. Sometimes I even get myself wondering about fitting one into an early F-250 Superduty...
