Erik's 1939 Chevy

I am a 16 year old guy in Glendale, California. My grandfather told me that the truck was a US Forest Service truck in its day. He purchased the truck from the ABC School District for 25 dollars in the 60's. He used the Chevy for taking trash to the dump. Then my father got an idea and wanted to hot rod it in the 70's. It have been sitting in the garage disassembled since then. My cousin (Travis - an auto mechanic), my father (Dale), and myself (Erik), have just began the process of resorting it. We plan to put a turbo 400 tranny, at least a 327, and possibly upgrade to suspension to a Mustang II. Also packed with an old 30's Pontiac read end. This is our project to have this done in 2 years for my senior year at school. Here is a picture of the truck with my cousin to the right of it. It needs a major overhaul but it will be accomplished.
