Depending on your lifting equipment then leaving the front wings and grille on might save a huge amount of time and get it on the road sooner although it all unbolts very easily. Taking it all apart would allow you to make it nice. Be aware of the gearbox mounts on the REO that they'll allow the degree of chassis flex you'll want with the zil depending on your body type and intended off road use., Likewise if you make any cross members make sure they can twist.
You might want to just make a new wiring loom too?

Thanx jamie_grieve.
I will take the time to unbolt the front.
)
All the screws and bolts are loose enough to simply unbolt.
As it seams the REO line 6 engine is around 10 inch longer than my Zil V8
So I probably will have to extend the front and hood to fit it all in.
I don't want to change too much on the looks.

The front is off.
I am now working on the electronics.
After that I will get the cabin of.
