1940 221ci Flathead that I pulled out of the stake truck, Saginaw 3 line (wide ratio) 4 speed, to a 3.0 geared 8" rear end.

 

Then 1972:

Bought in early 90’s from a friend. Good solid runner with some cancer developing and some other issues. Friend didn’t want to deal with it so I scooped it up.
