I found a 55 running chassis complete and I'd like put my 53 customline body on it, and yes I do weld incase I need to fabricate

Sorry I didn't clarify But the floors amd also the frame on my 53 are not worth saving so I ran across a 55 delivery wagon running ,the owner wants to sell it for 400$$ so that's a deal for me if it's possible just take off the body skin off the wagon and sell whatever I can off of it

Hello all I have a 1953 ford customline 2 door sedan that I'd like to out the body skin on a 1955 ford delivery wagon frame, I did my research on the wheelbase and track width there pretty much identical but my only concern is the body mounts if I should have to fabricate my own or if this...

It doesn't look like a flat area on where the grease fitting is

Ok got it I'll see if I can get a flat spot there but It doesn't look flat it sort of looks round

Are you referring to where the grease fitting is like on that spot? Idk if that's where you are talking

What flat surface would be best you think?

Picture # 7 The angle is at 3.45 degrees Picture # 4 is at 3.45

I have some photos on how my set up is looking

i will post some photos tomorrow so you can see exactly is going on, thank you flathead fever

thanks for this information i am going as im learning , so as of right now the engine is angled downward at about the 3.25 mark, i cant get it anymore higher due to the tunnel of the driveshaft it will hit it, so i cut the tunnel out to extend it out a little more if i need to.

Yes I agree but the straightest I can get my transmission shaft is at -3.25 degrees if I go higher to get in the positive position the driveline will rub on the tunnel What degrees should I get on the end of the rear axle??

Yes they did offer the 6 but originally it had a 239 flathead But I downsized because the flathead was junk So I had a 200 cu doner

Ok got it, So if the driveline is straight as a arrow that's good aswell? I was told that the driveline has to have some angle to it I'm not sure if I understand the link

helloo all my project is a 53 ford customline and i am swapping a 200 inline 6 on it, now i am trying to find the pinion angle so far a have tried to level the engine out and i got a reading of -3.25 degrees on the tailshaft i ended up getting a reading of -6.50 on the end of the driveline and...
