Also, if you intend to use the 32 gas tank in the rear, you’ll have to cut the lower rear panel of the body also to clear it. The body should be...
I used patch panels from Snyder’s, the beads and shape matched the originals on my coupe. As for a 32 frame if you are going full fendered using...

He’s referring to running 35 wires on later drums
Look at Ford 9” small bearing 28 spline early Bronco axles, the bearings are the same as the 8” Ford rear. They’re readily available thru the...
The 35-40 Ford used the same basic frame and suspension. There are year to year difference's and nuances.
Looks perfect wouldn’t change a thing on it.
How about 80’s or early 90’s Toyota pickup rear axle, they’re narrow, have a drop out center like Ford 8 & 9 inch rears, have the 4.5” bolt circle...
I’ve run Borgeson’s no issues, one of mine has been 30 years and no play.
Aren’t the clear coats all acrylic urethane. It’s just whether you go single stage or multistage. I painted this with acrylic lacquer in 1986,...

Those larger 16” tires are pretty common on late 90’s and up pickups. Just about all went to 16” as standard light truck tire.

The 37-48 Ford disc brake kits with the 4.5” bolt circle typically use Plymouth Volare rotors.
What spindles and hubs are you running on this?
The 657 casting was used in 67-68. It’s a 4” bore block, and we’re used with 327 & 350. 327’s we’re machined as a small journal & 350’s machined...
I invested in a breathing supply compressor set up about 25 years ago. At my old house I kept it in the basement, put a sleeve through the wall to...
Finally got to see this in person when you had it parked directly across from the Puyallup fairgrounds entry gate at the Early Bird Swap meet....
Happy Birthday Dennis!
Do a search here on the HAMB for Buick 215 Motor mounts and you’ll see how others have done it. I expect you’ll still have to modify the firewall....
It has a 40-41 pickup/panel truck hood sitting on it.
Last time I ordered from them I just called, no issues.
I’ll second that on an Auburn
Most likely 67 & up pickup wheels.
Jerome is quite the interesting place to se. Good luck on your adventure!
