After looking at the chassis, I thought it woudl be a shame to separate the engine and trans so I started looking around for some Ford with a wide track. Turns out the short bed Unibody was the same wheelbase and the wide Panther chassis fit underneath it after a little massaging. So any Panther chassis like a police car crown vic or the Mercury version could work as a complete foundation for a 61-66 short bed truck. You get the modern chassis and fuel injected motor and electronic trans, 4 link air bag rear with watts linkage, etc. if anybody has any quesitions on this build, let me know. It rides great Karl

Not vertical but like the transmission tail was moved to the drivers side. Very strange. Thanks for any help you can provide. Andy
