When i got it it had the flathead v8 with 3 speed trans,enclosed drive rear and original straight axle front. I have since...
installed a lucky7 4in drop straight axle front end with disc brakes an 8.8 31spl explorer rear cut out some of the x frame so my tko will fit and still try to come up with a cool flat color to paint it.... this is my first old car restoration project and i'm stoked about it
