    57 Tbird tail shaft ID

    From what I have read Tbird pans are non existent but the pickup pans if modified will work. Mine had to be modified to miss the steering. I wanted to post a photo of the pan but don't see a way to do it. Found it.

    57 Tbird tail shaft ID

    I bought a 1957 Thunderbird two years ago and I am thinking about putting a new seal in the output end of the 3 speed standard tail shaft. Over the years the engine and drive line have been bastardized. The engine may be out of a Y block pickup truck, at least the oil pan is, power steering and...

    Thank you. My youngest daughter lives in Seattle and has a house on Whidbey Island and she will be the caretaker after my wife and I are gone. She may be more excited than us as she knows my hotrodding history, spent lots of time at Old Town near Disney with all the old cars and she helped me...

    I'm sure I have said this before on here but my wife and I are retired and need this. I just turned 81, have COPD and will not live-forever and my wife just turned 65, I keep her young.

    Re: You paid the Seller in advance for shipping ? Good advice taking videos. They did a BILL OF LADING / VEHICLE INSPECTION REPORT and I have a copy. There were no issues. So if I find one chip, one ding they did it.

    I finally got to talk to someone who did something and knew about the car. He said they went over the car and found it did not have the original carb so the got a new zenith carburetor and put it on. He said it is ready to drive as they drove it and everything works. They charged the battery and...

    Our car is being picked up today and the transport should be here tomorrow unless he gets here at midnight tonight. I now have a signed bill of sale and was told the car runs fine and has antifreeze in it and the registration will be in the car.

    Over the past 30 years my wife and I have purchased 3 properties several cars, 2 boats and more sight unseen. All have been winners and where possible we did our homework. Our last purchase was where we live now, a 5-acre farm bought in NC while we were in Florida, and we never saw it until...

    I have to post the original ad for the A, as you can see some staff member did it and the pricing is a joke.
