The drive is still attached to the transmission though. Ive seen and read so many great ideas on this site...i need a right quarter panel tho .....some cancer.... Is there any way to replace the 5 cab lights with originals????and also i'm thinking about fabricating the hood and fenders together to make a tilt forward front hood has any one did that on this body style? What ratio rear end would this have? Its awful slow.....lol...thx

Sorry I kind of hijacked this thread. Lets get back to your project!

Cool looking truck!

I too just started a project with a 72 C40 wrecker.

As far as your cab lights, search the brand "Truck Lite" model 1313A.
