Time to go get my donor car #1. I'm gonna pull the eng/trans, rear end, front clip... what else should I take? steering? Anybody need anything? Leftovers are free for the taking.

Does it have a floor shifter? If so, I know someone who wants the console, shifter, etc.

ASPEN wagons have a good [smoov'e]roof panel- I used one to fill a 34 Dodge sedan....

Sorry, column shift. I won't forget the radiator. I'm gonna have quite a pile of crap in back of the garage.

hang on to the rear spring/hangers too.
they just unbolt from the frame/unibody.

damn handy to have around!

I used the steering column and swinging pedal assembly in a 56 f-100 .....if you don't mind a brake booster hanging off the firewall. Stopped great!

The wheels should be 5 on 4 1/2".The center hole is slightly larger than the Fords.Some of the street rod guys use Volare rotors to get the Ford bolt pattern,then find their wheels don't quite fit.
