    Already had a hopped up flathead, chrome reverse, wide whites and decent upholstery. But I still felt like I was driving a farm truck.

    Amazing what a difference a dropped axle makes on these trucks.

    Great stance. I'm about to do the same to my '52. Are you running a three inch drop axle? Stock springs?

    When I first saw "Farm Truck", this is'nt what I thought. Go to YouTube.Com and search for Oklahoma FarmTruck (all one word); now that's a "Farm Truck"! Butch/56sedandelivery.
