Cab over has a square flat nose
N-cab has a small nose like a van

This is my third project, F-250 being restored/modified. Flatbed with smoke stacks and duallies. Pretty much going to be stock with 272 Y-Block but crossover exhaust swapped out for John Mummert Ram Horn manifolds.

That would be cool. I just went to my first mud bog race today. I'd like to see an old 50's ford in the pit.

Update though. I'm going to be building the exhaust next week and having he alignment done so Hopefully after that a certain JW bellhousing will be here and i can see it drive. I'll post a video of it running soon.

After 10 or 11 weeks I've decided to cancel the second JW Performance order and ordered a QuickTime Bellhousing. Who knew this would be so d××n difficult. I'll never suggest JW Performance products to anyone. Collosal waste or time.

Holy crap man that really sucks. Who would've expected that saving a few hundred dollars was going to cost so much in time.
Hopefully the other one isn't going to be back ordered for that long.

As an added gift to myself I ordered the Altman / Trique MFG. door latch kit. I'm even considering a complete window kit too. See what happens when you shop while upset. I think my wife refers to it as retail therapy!

I can't say enough now frustrating this situation is now. Summit Racing is incompetent. Overnight shipping of the wrong part. I dont have an FE motor. Their packing slip says a small block and their website is flat d**n wrong. Honestly about to put this truck in the garage, stop building it for a year, and just enjoy life because it shouldn't be this gawd awful difficult. This is no fun anymore. Four years hanging on one part.

Are those the one piece windows from midfifty? What color are they?
I was considering buying them for my truck, but then it was hot the other day and I used the wing windows. They are actually pretty sweet, without AC I am not sure if I want to go one piece anymore or redo the wing windows.

Yes, they are the clear 1 piece windows from Mid-Fifties. I can't wait to install them. Also the power window kit from E Z Wiring will be in tomorrow. I can't wait to see them all installed. Pretty complete kit for the money might i add!
