New guy from central Pa.

Found this site while cruising the internet.
I just brought a 1941 International Panel Truck home, and have a 1994 Thunderbird Supercoupe engine and 5 speed in the garage. It’s a 3.8 V-6 with forged crank, rods and pistons, aluminum heads, Eaton M-90 supercharger with 12 PSI of boost, sequential fuel injection, intercooled, 230 HP, 330 ft/lbs of torque stock. It has the Ford/Mazda M5R2 5 speed tranny with 3.42, 2.16, 1.34, 1.00, 0.75 gear ratios. I figured since it was an unusual truck, it should have an unusual drivetrain too.
This will be my 1st street rod, so I'm hoping to gain a lot of knowledge here.

 

post some pics of the international,
the other stuff is too new,
it just aint cool round here

welcome

 

Pictures posted. I'm thinking about a ford Ranger frame to put under the Panel.

 

Welcome from CT. Nice project!

 

Welcome from NC and that's a great project!

 

<scratching my head>

What's wrong with the original frame and some old iron mill to pull it?

 

welcome from the reading,pa area...good project...

 

Nothing's wrong with the frame, and I may use it instead of a newer frame, why spend money for old iron when I've already got the new stuff in the garage?

 

Welcome from Central PA. If you do not know the answer to your question, I strongly suggest you read Ryan's postings at the top of the board. This site is strongly traditional and doesn't take real kindly to off topic vehicles. It's a great place, but limited in it's scope to a certain time frame for cars.

 

So your the guy that got it. I was a day late
Good luck with it and welcome to the site.

 

Welcome to the board .....

looks like its going to be a cool project and a start of one ....
