I should have described what I have in my last post:
1929 model A sedan: chopped 4 " sectioned 2 feet into a p/u cab with a power moon roof installed and sucide doors fabbed out of the rear opera windows, along with a very form fittin roll cage formed to the roof line out of 2".187 tubing. fabbed bed of rolled steel and box tubing and creative use of a bending brake. also has an aray of aftermarket gauges a dodge colt steering column mounted on a cadillac 472 connecting rod via a pedal support from a jeep as well as the booster and master cylinder. unknown bucket seats for now that will be replaced with a more original bench.
frame: is a 23 t, I haven't finished boxing it yet but the rear has been and z'd to drop hi arch leaf and the 8.8 ford mustang diff with 3.55 gears ford ranger axles/brakes and the front has a 2" tube with a drop reverse stock t leaf. a '40' ford I beam axle upgraded to suspension engineering tube shock kit gm mid sized disk brakes and calipers kit and the stock '40' ford split wish bones on drop mounts.
motor:1974 ford 351 2bbl with custom made headers fabbed from some damaged mustang ones I had laying around and a rebuilt c4 trans pretty stock so I can drive it daily. I how ever saw a kit to install a chevy 4spd to a ford and I am considering that just because I am sitting on an old warner t10.
nearly rolling on black steels and radials I have about $800 bux it in I plan to leave it the black primer as it is now and have a buddy at a sign company pin stripe it all up. As soon as I have pics I will post them, I love hot rods of all types and it all a speed money thing how fast do you want to go whether your hotrod is a rat or ratty or crap or a show car or if you like drivin what you have thats all that matters and safety and some type decent fab was done to get there even betterlike a volvo with gun racks.....
