Good day everybody
first I wanna say this is my first post on this great site-I havent needed to post,can usually find what I need.
I am currently working at getting it on the road-its sat way too long
been working on it for over 15 years
Its my dads car that I am gonna be getting-just need the cash-he has a 32 ford 5window coupe he needs the cash for-milners from american graffiti painted blue
the car was originally from Texas-the the body is mint,the interior was scrap
BUT the old man had a 67 fastback with a bad frame-but decent int
the 318 gave way for a 360,I am gonna overhaul the tranny,I have a kit
I have been collecting parts for the last few years,as budget permits
it has no power stearing,no power brakes,the only power is under the go pedal
anyways
years ago we swapped the 7 1/4 with a ford 9" that we were given
the problem is it is way too wide,the rims I wanna use is under the wheel well lip-and 373 open gears
I measured it at about 61" from axle flange to flange.
I do have a F body 8 1/4,(77 volare)I would need to literally dig it out to measure-it is currently under a car that is buried under alot of junk
the chart shows it measuring at 54.3-now is that axle flange to axle flange?
I can assume so BUT I dont wanna spend a day and dig it out from under the car and find out it isnt much narrower-I know it wont take much of a beating,not without work,but I just wanna get the car on the road(if I can keep my dad out of the car I should be able to contain myself so it doesnt explode LOL)
my current budget is NOTHING-well I have to justify everything spent
but the car doesnt need much more to get it around
if it works I will need a drive shaft-can cut the fbody one
side marker lights(for some reason they disappeared when it was tore apart for paint)
tires-I have some for the front-the back will need to be replaced-after we get the motor rebroke in
the front drums have to go,but I think I can live with it to get it resafetied and running.need ucas for the fbody spidles
exhaust tail pipes,gonna get something bent up locally-the headers on it are very rusty,but will work till I can afford tti's
anyways
thanks in advance
