[PRCo] Re: PRC 4398

my understanding is that there are no original WP 700 series trucks left.  Either some other trucks will have to be used (egad, destroying the originality) or replicas will have to be made ($$$$$).  I think we can all live with the wrong trucks just to get the damn thing moving.  If anything,shows like American Chopper and American Hotrod have taught us to be a little more relaxed about customizing.  Even Jay Leno eventually broke down and bought a hot rod.  In fact, a vintage '60s Big Daddy Cane hotrod is worth considerably more than a restored 30's Model A that he would have used for a body.  But I digress. Since the WP 700s were built in WP shops with Pennsylvania labor, wouldn't having PTM crews put it back together just be a continuation of tradition?  And for that matter, how much of 4398's sheet metal had been replaced by PRco crews before Justin got to it?
