Relisted as eBay cancelled my add. I did not know that you cant have "Not 1932 1934 1936" in the ad's title The truck project started as a rust free california truck. I daily drove it for two years until I got in a minor fender bender....and rather than just change the fender, I got the case of "might as well do this" and ended up on the journey of rebuilding the entire truck. Front Chassis: It has an aftermarket Mustang II front end with the later fox-body mustang power rack. It has firestone airbags, disk brakes and 1-inch sway bar. It should ride and handle well. The shock towers were eliminated in this process so the engine bay is clean and room to hold any V8. All components are new. Rear Chassis: It has a 9-inch rear out of a Lincoln Versailles with disc brakes. It is held in place by parallel 4 bar and a panhard bar. It uses firestone airbags in the rear along with a custom swaybar. All components are new except rear end. It came from a running car, but I had plans to rebuild....but did not get that far. Engine/Tranny: The truck has mounts for a small block Ford Windsor engine (221-351W) and a T5. However, no engine comes with the truck but a T5 overdrive does. As mentioned above, the compartment is spacious enough to hold any size V8 you want. I do have an automatic brake pedal asembly and column if you want to convert over to an automatic transmission Body: As mentioned, the body hasn't ever had rust issues. The only body damage was on the left front fender, grill, hood, and minor damage to the radiator support right behin the headlight bucket. All parts were replaced with rust free original sheetmetal except the radiator support which only had damage behind he headlight bucket. This was just hammered as it can not be seen with the fender/grill on. The body was shaved of door handles, gas tank door, and emblems. The paint is flawless teal and is straight as an arrow and very detailed polish. All produts used were PPG along with the PPG Basecoat/Clear coat system. I have NOS tail lights and instrument cluster for the truck. The interior is 80% finsihed . The seats are done in cream ultra-leather. Door panels are finished, headliner is finished. Needs carpet and dashpad to complete. There is a vintage air unit behind the dash. I was running this unit prior to the accident. It compes with compressor, condensor, etc. There is so much more to this truck like 17-inch American Bonneville Salt-Flats rims, brand new BFGs, that I can't get all down on paper. I have over $20K in the truck (I stopped counting). Its a unique project that has significant upside value. . Feel free to contact me with any questions. (512)426-0169 Reggie
