Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a 39 1/2 ton ford truck. It has a flatty in it with a t-5 and an 8 inch ford rear end. It has a Mustang II front end with duel springs in the back. Other than that it will be stock. It was my Dad's truck. He had it 30 years and was unable to restore it. By the time he retired and had time, he found he had brain cancer and didn't get a chance. I am having the time of my life working on this. I am working with my daughters and son trying to pass on this love to the next generation. My Dad would roll over in his grave if I ever paid someone to change my oil. That is the kind of guy he was. Once when I was a kid we were changing a muffler on a Pinto. He put a screw driver through his hand. He tied a rag on it and finished the job before getting some stitches. I live in a burb south of portland oregon. I hear there is a NW Hamb. I can wait to get hooked up. Let me thank you in advance for all the good advice that I will get peace jim p. a.k.a. Dads39
