Yes Stu it was a body only car that I bought on line in Sacramento Ca. It was pretty rough to say the least. All the wood was either dry rotten or gone and about 4 inches rusted off bottom. Must have sat on the dirt for a very long time.It was probably a parts car everything was striped off just the shell left.So I squared it all up welded braces inside remove wood and replace with tubing and realign all 4 doors that was a pretty big job just to get those doors to shut right .Then I cut it in half and added 8 inc.to make it wider in the front because those cars are pretty tight .Took a 1997 dodge one ton pick up frame lowered it 7 inches in the center and bolted the shell on it with 6 body mounts . Cut a roof off a 2007 Ford van and screwed it on with sheet metal screws .The body train is a Cummins p pump 24 valve with a NV4500 manual 4×4 5 speed transmission to keep it short. Topped off with a gear vender .4 wheel disk brakes and at the end of I all Dana 80 with 3.55 gears. I would like to cruise around 80 mph but Stu that is not the rest of the story . To be continued…
