About 1968 one of my buddies gave me a rolled 57 Chevy. I took the body off and went to a junkyard and bought a 41 Chevy truck cab that had the roll out windshield. Mounted it on the 57 frame and shortened the frame (including shortening the springs) untill the rear wheels were almost touching the cab. Very short driveshaft. Welded two wheels together using spacers with the center cut out of one and reversed where you mounted the tires from either side (four wheel drive on the rear axles). Finally welded the spider gears together for real four wheel drive on the back tires. We called it a "bush buggy" and it would go about anywhere with snow grips on the rear. The original six cylinder was good but my neighbor gave me a burned truck with a good 283 so I put it in. We had a lot of fun with it. Only broke one axle because of the welded spider gears.
