It is great if you want to ride low. I think the Volare allows some adjustment in ride height. I just recently heard about someone selling a Dodge Dakota kit, that may work better with a '61. Also if you want to keep it a 'truck'.

We have a good 4 speed transmission from a 54 F250 we would like to use in an attempt to keep the truck somewhat stock. Will the 54 bellhousing bolt up to a newer Windsor V8, or do we have to continue searching for an engine from the same era? A Windsor/late model automatic combo is our last choice.

I found out today that it has the recirculating heater. According to the shop manual the accessory heaters were either Fresh-Air or Recirculating type. I removed the heater today and found that it's the Recirculating type. The fresh air vent on the right inside fender is blocked off with a plate. According to the shop manual, the Fresh-air type had controls that either let in fresh air or recirculated it. Also controls for heat and defroster. Mine just has a fan and I figure if you don't run the fan, you don't get much heat transfer thru the heater core. Also there's a valve on the heater hose at the head (Flathead V-8). Question I have is, how rare are the Fresh-air heaters? And, if I ever want to put in AC, such as Classic Air, will they have a heater unit as well, or do I need to get a Fres-Air type heater before I can even think about getting AC Thank!

You only nedd them on intakes and you can see what you're doing sorta and even "help" them with a popsickle stick.
