We kicked the idea around last night and decided to do it after mine is done, That way i can collect parts as i go. I also have access to a 460 if i want it.

Hmmmm Gasser........Now thats a thought! I love that style just haven't seen a truck set up like that aside from a *****'s pickup. I think i saw somewhere that you can adapt disc brakes to the 54's front axle and i do have a 9" layin around here.

I haven't been up against a tree in 20 yrs, Gee now i feel old!

360 fe's are still plentiful , at least around here and they can be poked and stroked to 418 then slap a set of aftermarket heads and a blower on it and instant nostalgia and i wish i didn't have to part with my 55 and extra parts as i had " designs " on the extra cab i had . i was gonna make a frame out of square steel ,shorten up the bed till it looked right put the nose in the air as i have access or if he's still got it an axle from a 66 econoline van , put a cage in it build up the other fe i wasn't using , and paint it really wildlike in the late sixties / early seventies . oh and forgot gotta have a tilt nose !!!! have to wait now , but i still know where there are other victims sitting , after imcaught up and i got the 53 where i want it !!! still got my fe's though .
