Re: HoosierGTA 's CARS AND PROJECTS

The maroon Ford you see in the photos isn't Dan's truck......now, his oldest daughter DOES have a 4x4 Ford truck, but that thing....let's say structural integrity isn't one of it's strong points.

That red Astro....I don't know that I've seen one worked as hard as Dan has worked it. He brought the trailer to me with that van....LOL....BTW, ever get the trans in the brown one yet?

Was the top end of the stock IH engine included with the purchase? Could be a cool one to do an in-frame on, get it running for cheap.....non-split rims can be found easily. Good excuse to ditch those non-matching bias-plies on the rear axle...I'd imagine it DOES ride like it has square tires.

Purchase? What purchase? No ,it didn't. Cylinders have 1/8 inch worth of rust pits ! The ford is structurly sound as long as your not talking about the body ! Brown van has been running well for quite some time now. Thanks for asking. I don't think I would want a Navistar in there as i would prolly have to take the cab off to work on it as you have to w/ the for body !
