New project possibly...

[ord.sgt.26NC]

this is what the bonded title discussions were about...
It's rusty and crusty.

running the numbers on the engine...325 horse 327 from 1967.

 

[zuke]

Oh, I'd definitely go through the bonded title hassles for that!

 

[Scooter402]

sooooo worth it. You don't do it, I'll come track your asses down just for a swift kick right under the taters.

 

[CasterTroy]

WOW....LOT's of work, but think of how fun that'll be

56 rear, 55 front?

 

[ord.sgt.26NC]

56 rear, 55 front?

yes it is but whoever set the panels in place, lined them up perfect. Unfortunately, ill have to pull all that off for either repair or replacement.

Or clearcote it and run it like a resto-rat (honestly my first thought was how cool it would be to have a full chassis and LS but look the same outside)

 

[Fabrik8]

That's actually rare enough and cool enough to make me want a Tri-Five.

 

[Blaze]

That is AWESOME!

56 rear, 55 front?

Yeah. Cool delivery project.

once I get her pulled out,ill take photos of the rust issues. Needs front floor pans,rickets,lower panels,holes in top from ladder rack, interior shot,etc etc. I will be attempting a first crank video tho.

 

[doc]

Nice score!!
Family member has a '57 Sedan Delivery (bought it cheap in the '80's - love it!)

 

[Tom@Hilltop_Machine]

I need to get motivated again and finish my 55.

56 rear, 55 front?

Keen observation I didn’t even realize it til you said something....I’d rock it like that, probably won’t be any others out there like that, I like different though

 

[ord.sgt.26NC]

it all depends of the amount of work the fenders take.I like the 55 front myself. Now,the hood itself I believe is 56 yet it's missing places for the front chevy shield. Inside on the floor is a 55 hood bird but it doesn't match the mounting holes the hood has yet the chrome lip fits the grill perfectly and that is a 55 grill.

 

[ord.sgt.26NC]

and it's home...guess jeeps aren't expensive enough.

 

[Blaze]

that thing is so damn cool

 

[ord.sgt.26NC]

and underneath rests a 327,4 speed with a alloy scatter shield ,and a 12 bolt out of either a nova or early camaro with traction bars bolted from spring plates to clamps on the springs. Rear springs look heavier than they should be.

 

[anvilrubi]

I want to see this with a big block and wheelie bars at nahunta

 

[ord.sgt.26NC]

gonna keep the drive train set up the way she came.I want to bring her back to her former glory.

[Dylan W.]

Love those wheels, probably worth a mint by themselves.

 

[ncpartsguy]

They look like old skool Torq Thrusts from American Racing Wheels.

exactly what they are...in magnesium. They are rough tho.Sitting in sand and acidic pine straw didn't do them any good.

 

[CasterTroy]

Hmm magnesium. Hit em with a wire wheel and watch the sparks fly
