I have a crazy idea to take an old school 50s or 60s Mack and put fairly new modern parts in it. I would like to buy a wrecked RM dump truck and rob the rear ends, tranny, engine, etc.
My question is, is this possible without major surgery and an endless checkbook? I want to put a hook lift body on this truck and haul dumpsters and flatbeds so it will have to have 20k fronts and 44k rears, at least 350hp. I would like to buy a wrecked truck that has all these items which i think i can find no problem. The old school cab is the problem.
Has anybody on here ever done this?
Thanks
