Thanks for the info guys. The Speedway Motors disc brake kit looks good. I'll probably go with a dropped beam in the front. Here's a picture of...
Power steering would definitely be a huge plus. I like the idea of the 5 speed too but I also like the idea of building it with 50's-60's era parts
I picked up a '52 Chevy 3/4 ton. Fairly large project but very solid minus a little rust in the cab corners. My plan is to build a fairly original...

Braze or bubble gum. I've got it, thanks... I'd really rather fix it myself for the time being untill I can get a new radiator. I've talked to a...
From what I've heard brazing is a tough thing to learn, if at all possible I'd rather try fixing it myself first before resorting to paying a...

Besides Tri-five's does anyone know of any other 4 door models that have the same roofline as their 2 door counterparts?
Has anyone figured out the window regulator issue? What about side trim? Should I just shave the trim if I do end up doing this conversion? - Tumbler
To anyone that is interested I looked up the rebuild kit on Kanter Auto and it looks like $1300 for the basic package....
Realistically what would it cost to build a 354? I can get my hands on a complete motor. I'm not sure if it will turn over or not. Its been...
Yeah man. Sorta like that one above.
I saw a 52 ford for sale today on the side of the road. It got me looking at pictures of them online and I have to say I like the body style. I...
He lost the title. Sounds like it was in his name though. He thinks its a big issue but I know it can be solved pretty easily with one form from...
Sorry no pics. Sounds like a decent project. The guy who told me about it has done a lot of the work on it. The body is straight, no rust. Its...
