My wife has an origonal 1957 transtar quarter ton pick up and she wants me to get it running again. She has had it for like 30 years and it's been in here moms back yard for ever. It is rust free and complete as she drove it back behind the garage and shut it off. My question, is there something that can be done to the front end to soften the look like earlier fenders or a different grille. The project is kind of up to me as I work building custom cars. I was thinking of using a 4.3 gm vortec drive train as they are small, light and an easy install and make an easy 200+ hp. I would likely install a mustang two front end as well as it's also easy and I get a deal on them. Any thoughts or ideas would be highly appreciated as I havn't done a Stude in the past. She said if I did a good job I could do a Starlight Coupe for her. She came from a studebaker family and still has a lot of stuff.
