I have a '74 GMC Astro cabover tractor with a Detroit 8v92 and 13 speed. I am seriously considering making it a single axle, stretching the frame, making it full air ride and after restoring it completely making it a "classic" HDT/ combo hauler. Whatcha think about that fellas??
It's been sitting for about 20 years and I am going to restore it (yes I am prepared and capable of the challenge), just the options of the final purpose are still up in the air.
1- Restore back to original for show quality and "classic look".
2- Restore and modify to make an excellent "hot rod" truck
3- Restore and modify as above to haul a small car on a deck and tow fifth wheel trailers and set up more as an RV function
