Brought the truck in and started disassembly, removed the cab and front end, down to bare frame, replaced a couple of the cross members. A great thing about these 40 trucks is the amount of parts that are avaliable, virtually every part original or reproduction can still be had. Makes a restoration relatively straight forward.
Warning!! Purists look away! I also want the truck to be easily driven on a daily basis, part of the appeal of these trucks is the Hot Rod community that is very inventive, I am putting a Borg and Warner 5 speed T5 transmission behind the flathead. The HAMB forum, has a lot of information and really unique enginnnering solutions. Link to https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...T5+TORQUE+TUBE I wanted to keep the Banjo rear end and torque tube so I have been following the build out on the HAMB, hopefully the link works. |
