Just got home today from 5 weeks in Clyde Texas working on the 3/4 ton panel van.
As usual, a lot more work involved than first imagined and of course the last 10% takes 90% of the time. Engine rebuilt, body ready for painting, complete brake system renewal etc etc. The only modification is the fitting of a Borg Warner T5 .72 overdrive 5 speed gearbox. This is a bolt in modification with an online spacer plate. Of course the drive shaft had to be altered ($250). This will drop the RPM from 2,850 at 60mph to about 2,100. In the hands of a painter. The intention is to go back to USA in March, drive it by a circuitous route to the east coast before shipping roll-on, roll-off to Europe for D-Day 75th in Normandy. I will probably sell it there.
