You've seen this write up right? He has some great info on how to make minor modifications to keep the trucks running more reliably.

I've wanted to do this with a modern 5 ton to make a WWII era 6x6 Tank Transporter (The earlyones). But, I need a shop to fabricate/fix sheet metal first. I've also thought about doing the same thing with a Candian CMP cab to make my own 5 ton C60X replica, but with a crew cab.
I love the C60X. http://www.oldcmp.net/C60X_1.html
