Default a road trip....

A trip down under is in the plans for sure,i'm in the redi-mix concrete industry and was considering working 6 months here,the other 6 there.
hehe watch their faces when they find cmp parts in my luggage at the airport......8-o
i think the only sheetmetal i'll need to buy is the pannels that house the headlights,the inner fenders,and some doors.the rest can be repaired or made from sheet.
i really like the idea of some canvas doors.
so whats the popular opinion of the flathead ford for this application?is it worth the dollars to find and build one?
i have three 3-53 detroits to choose from here that would almost snap in there like it was home. last darn near forever too.
yes i know the're loud as n/a's but with a turbo and a decent muffler it's almost music to me.
i'm sorry if that horrifies some of you,but my intention is to USE this truck,and i dont like being left high and dry.
95 hp sounds a little rough for hauling a load too.
rear end gears are 7.2:1 right?
thanks to all...
