Am I nuts? 1940 Plymouth Commercial Car (Truck)

Just picked up another project, a 1940 Plymouth Truck. The resto on it is not the problem, but my intent is to have it done by next Sept 23rd (2011) to present to my lovely wife for her 50th birthday:love7:. She has always liked the fat fendered trucks and even made the mistake of saying "wouldn't that one look good in red?" which to my ears means "won't your make one for me in red?"

My plan is to ship all the parts and pieces off to my son's shop to be media blasted and straitened by the metal master Brent while I put a Volare' torsion bar suspension up front and a 8 1/4 or 8 3/4 in the rear. 318 motorvation will be plenty, and backed by a four speed of course.

Steel wheels with Plymouth logo hubcaps and blackwalls will be the running gear.
