I am normaly very much convinced that historic vehicles should be restored to the state in which they left the factory but I think thet Terry's post above makes a lot of sense. It would also be a really nice vehicle to drive with the Ford 250 and auto box and the auto box should avoid damage to the original power train by reducing shock loads. With the bigger wheels it would also be usefully faster. Come to think of it you could paint it black with flames on the doors...... (No, please don't !)
