Need Some Advise
I'm starting a new project. I bought a 1961 Dodge Townwagon (panel truck) This is what the truck looks like (not mine .....I wish)

I have a 92 S/C 12v auto that I'm going to shorten and place the 61 body on top of it. Need to pump up the 12v for street use.Where should I start ? Turbo, or injectors, pump, add propane injection. Which parts should I use. Just trying to get some ideas. I'm going to drive the 61 while I'm working on the frame.

you came to the right place. I'm a fan of these old trucks, I've always wanted something like that or an old power wagon. I'm sure people will ask what you budget on the motor is, because there are many things you can do on the cheap while there are alternative expensive solutions as well. Most of the things that cost money aren't the first things you want to do. Although a bigger turbo and some injectors are leaps forward in power.
Smokems has it right, thats the basic order of doing things. with a few screws turned on the pump, it will wake up. After you install the gov spring its like you gave the truck an energy drink.
