I've been readin' posts on here for a while and thought i'd drop in , say howdy . Liv'n up 'ear in Mn. My cars have always been Rats , but just not at the time. Most had primer and were always a "work in progress" First car: 53 Ford Customline 2dr. Let my brother drive it one day and he get's T boned at the stop and go lights ! So I make a deal with him and get his 56 Victoria. White over Peacock Blue and primer. 292 w 312 heads and dual exh. Fordomatic , Remember those ? had D and Lo but was a 3 speed. Start out in Lo, wind er up ,shift to D and right back to Lo , that is second and the tires would "chirp" with excitment, hang on to yer hat! Those were the days!I've been thinkin' of starting a project. I have a lota parts. I would like to build up a 53 F350 "TONNER" . Has 17 in. wheels and 9 ft box. It's already "ratted out" . Those darn mice chew up all the uppolstery and padding and make a nest somewhere,I know they were in the bellhousing and made the starter shaft rust so it wont engage. Anyway I was thinkin' lower and dual wheels on the back, with a shorter flatbed Ford script, Out front I'd use the orig axel , moved forward at least under the rad. maybe in front of, and maybe quarter eliptics, don't realy want frame sticking out in front. Oh and no fenders. I like to see em with the orig. hood, cause the cowl looks funny without. Will try to get some pics on here
