**** Sold and gone **** Sorry, I didn't see your question till now, and there were no shift rods.

Narrow case 4-speed Ford toploader, HEH-G tag => 1964 Mustang 260, 289 wide 25-spline (http://www.4speedtoploaders.com/idchart1.htm). Delivery possible to Southern California, maybe other areas. Can deliver to this weekend's Turlock swap meet. Will ship Greyhound if it's not too heavy. Paypal...

Thanks for the offer- I appreciate it and I will try to keep it in mind. I might be using a more modern rear end to start with, and I need to check if the axles are bent, first. Kurt

That's a good point; I'll look into fixing them. The axle housing and radius rod are both bent quite a bit more than would be taken up by assembling, though.

Welp, I'm going to build it with an engine, first. I've got more parts on hand, and I don't have funds. It'll probably be a turbo 2.3L running on propane, like what I have in my '61 Comet. I've got a '37 front end with wide-fives, and a pair of Buick artillery wheels that I need to get a 6-lug...

Polish them till you can use them as a shaving mirror.

What's the length from the firewall to the rear of the body? And, what's a fair price for a pretty good body without fenders?

Alright, but don't say I didn't warn ya. I'm pipe dreaming about an electric vehicle. I wanna go with a Model T body, frame and such because I'm going for lightweight. I'd love to get a '26-7 tudor sedan and turn it into a panel. I'd probably give it a healthy chop, too. I'd love Model T wire...

I don't think this group or the H.A.M.B. would be very accepting of what I have in mind.

Yep, but I don't have a whole car- just working with parts here, and it's not gonna be a restoration.

It's looking like the parts are '35-6 because the rear axle housings have the radius rod mounting flanges welded on.

Hmmm, I don't know which side for sure and I took it apart. I wanna say it was the driver's side, but I may have had the rear end upside-down. How can one tell? Should I chuck the axle assembly in a lathe to check if it's bent? Thanks, Kurt

'37 rear end: What are the typical gear ratios? What other year housings(?) will fit (one side is bent)? Front and rear end: What hydraulic brakes will swap? Thanks, Kurt

What's the typical rear gear ratio and are there brake swaps? Thanks, Kurt

I'm looking at an ad on Craigslist. It's a 1921 T. It looks like the cowl is narrowed. It's gotta homemade-looking bed. I think the thing is cool. He calls it a speedster. I picture something different for the word speedster. So, what makes a speedster? Thanks, Kurt
