Vehicle Photos

Description:

Long Bed Unibody. These were built only from 1961-63.
292 Y-Block with 3 speed transmission.

Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:

Edelbrock "435" manifold topped by three Stromberg 97's. "Redneck" dual exhaust with Cherry Bombs, exiting in front of rear wheels.

Suspension Modifications:

None

Wheels/Tires Modifications:

Replaced ugly aluminum wheels (courtesy of PO) with original steelies and chrome "dog dish" caps.

Interior/Exterior Modifications:

PO removed exterior chrome trim

Future Modifications:

Currently preparing "spare" front axle with new king pins/bushings, manual disc brake kit, refurbished springs with 3 leaves removed to replace current front axle/brakes, etc. Plan to add Mustang/Cougar bucket seats and Falcon-type console (Uni/Ranger clone?). Will probably replace 3 speed with T98 to get rid of crappy aftermarket floor shift.
