    I have a super nice 1939 ford half ton shorty panel from Omaha Nebraska. Original paint weathered just right to rat rod. the bottom of the doors are rough but the body , fenders running boards, gauges, etc are great. Crank out windshield, Original wood floor is excellent. front floor is great. The farmer who owned it cut the frame off from the firewall forward but from there back is all original. comes with a rolling 87' S10 chassis, or a nova front subframe and a rear end of your choice I have a few to choose from. if you have money the frame under this truck is the same frame that fits 35 to 40 cars and trucks. TCI makes a full rolling chassis to bolt your 350 combo in but it ain't cheap. It sits on a ranger frame to transport but I wouldn't use it the frame just isn't right for that mod. I have a couple of pics of it on the ranger frame in the cars wanted add for gs project wanted but it looks rougher than it is. Right now I have it off the frame sitting on the ground with fat and skinny cragars and spinners under it and its tough. I think one of the pics it is sitting on the cragars in the snow. I'll take good pics of it tomorrow and give you a better idea of what it looks like. If interested I'm looking for a gs project. I've found one I just need to sell this and get it or would trade for something cool. I know it sounds lame but I'd like to save this 67 GS 400 I found. Most people would part it out in its condition but, you can call me at 502-472-1894 or 502-368-0654.:TU::beers2:

    Love the look of the carbs hangin off the sides, though them aircleaners looks a bit small for it to breath.

    But them carbs makes me think of the munsters rod. Would be cool if you could find some of them old type lanter but turn them into a velosity stack air cleaners of some sort.

    Maybe some bigger rear meats.

    But its your car, wht io would do isn't always the best.
