Original flathead V8
New 12v 1 wire alternator (would like to make it look like a stock gen.)
T5 5 speed trans with a stock looking shifter
New front leaf springs
Four inch drop front axle
Power steering pump mounted behind fan - not easily noticed
Toyota power steering box
Original steering column, wheel and horn retained for stock look
Hydro-boost power brake unit
Stock pedals clutch and brake
Four wheel disc brakes
New 16" wide whites - sent the 17" widow makers packing
New 9" Ford rear-end, geared to match the T5 trans
Rear C notch with 4 bar and adjustable coil overs
If your not looking for the upgrades you wont notice them. The 16" rims and tires fill the bigger wheel openings for a better look..... and the running boards are 7" off the ground.

Oops now everyone will want one when they see how cool yours looks
