You want to modify an old truck so it will be easier to drive in parades for 20 minutes? Did I get the question right? Parades are made to show off old original equipment.
Sell it to someone who will appreciate the truck as is. Twenty years from now someone will appreciate that fact that you didn't spend $20,000 to ruin a drivable antique.
I can't quarrel with the knowledgeable truck guys here on this forum who modify their trucks (often just pieces of trucks) for better performance. Some of these guys do amazing things which I can appreciate.
Everyone to their own. But for me, a Flaming River steering column has no place in a FFPW.
For every nice completed project, there are probably three out there that are never finished.
By the way, who's paying for all this and doing the work? I would have to guess that some of the members in the coop would rather see lower electricity bills than a souped up parade truck.
This idea is dead on arrival.
