Hello Everyone , I have my own business restoring muscle cars, trucks, classics and doing a little repair work on newer stuff. Right now I'm working on a 56 Ford F150 for a client. He dropped it off with boxes full of parts and no knowledge of the trucks history. This has been an interesting job!

It does have a running 351 C and a tranny I haven't identified yet. A dana 44 rear that I'll be trading out for a 9 inch.

I also have a doner F250 for the cab and front clip to use to restor the F150. This is really a 56 F150 setting on a 1 ton frame. It has a 57 Y block with a 4 speed with od tranny and a rear end that is huge. The diff case splits in the middle from side to side, not sure what it is. I'm not going to be using the running gear so once I get the cab off the frame and running gear will be up for sale.

Catch ya around the form
