Hi all,
New memeber here. I'm working on a '56 Panel truck, (Ford of course). Is there an album or thread here where other panel owners have posted. Not picky on years, I love all things panel. Thanks,
James
This car came from the factory with a 272 Y-block/Ford-o-Matic but everything was gone except for the frame and shell when I got it in 1996.
I put in a 223 I-block 6 with Ford-o-matic. I used a '57, 9 inch rearend with 3.25: 1 ratio. Body-off-frame restoration was complete in 2000. I used the original color (aquatone blue). It came from the factory with a white top which I did not duplicate. It is converted to 12 volts and includes pertronix ignitor, modern stereo, and original clock converted to quartz movement.
I did drive it daily for a few years, but now it just sits in the garage taking up space and collecting dust.
