Lightbulb 1960 Dodge Project Idea

Got a brilliant Idea the other day, Thought I'd put it out there. I've got the 1960 Dodge 1 ton in my signature that is in need of a full restoration, so I got this brilliant idea. Find a Freightshaker FL70 with a 6 speed Fuller, and a 3126 CAT or a C Series Cummins, pull the cab and hood off and transplant my '60 Dodge body and cab onto it. I'd then have a sweet medium duty work truck I could use for work and it'd sure look nice with a hauler bed, polished Alcoa wheels, Polished aluminum fuel tanks, etc... It'd be a slick setup to move mini hoes, and other compact equipment so I'm not beating up my 3/4 ton near as bad. What do ya'll think?

Don't know much about the '60s but check out McMobile's '68 if you haven't already. Might give you some ideas.

I like McMobile's rig alot, nice clean rig. I was thinking a 3 or 4 speed Brownie box would really help this pull on mountains as I'd be using this to do alot of transporting mini hoes and skid steers and the like.
