This car is run daily, it runs nicely down the freeway and around town. The car sits low so it isn't the smoothest ride. 1948 Ford Tudor set on a mid 80s S10 frame. SBC 355 backed by a th350. Motor has under 1000 miles on a rebuild. Has Vortec heads that were ported, polished and had a valve job done. Mild cam. Holley 4bbl with electric choke. The car has newer dual exhaust and gl*** packs that dump just before the rear bumper. The radiator is also new and has an electric fan with temp switch and relay. Runs nice and cool. The th350 has a shift kit in it and was rebuilt by TransGo. Brand new Lokar 23" double bend shifter. The car has a black S10 tilt column with a red metal flake moon steering wheel. Driveshaft was made 2 years ago by A1 driveshaft. The rear end is an open 10 bolt out of a 2 wheel drive S10. Cruises at 2900 rpm at 55. White walls a radials from Coker and have a lot of life left. The car has blocks in the rear and drop springs up front. This would be an easy car to bag. That will happen this winter if I still have it. All the lights/signals work. I have 2 speakers in the package tray and a Kenwood radio hidden in the dash. The gas gauge and oil pressure gauge don't work. I believe the sending units are bad. There is no speedo in the car, but I do have a speedo and a Lokar speedo cable that go with the car. Windshield is new gl***. Back window is original with a new seal. The side gl*** is all good except the front driver side. The body rock solid, no rot anywhere. The floors have never been repaired. The transmission tunnel was rebuilt to allow for the TH350 and a permanent toe panel in place of the removable one. There are no door panels, headliner or carpeting. The front seat is in very good condition and has a couple minor tears. I have Mexican blankets covering it. Extra parts- 2 hoods Th350 7.5” 10 bolt (4.10 open) Front seat frame Rear seat Drop spindles Electric fan 2 mechanical fans Extra steering column Water pump Center bolt valve covers Center bolt to perimeter bolt valve cover adapters Extra pulleys I have a bunch of other misc items that go with the car. I have a clear ***le in my name for a 1948 Ford that matches the vin plate on the a-pillar. I will accept a reasonable offer, but am more interested in trades. I am looking for a pre 64 car or maybe truck. Ideally 26-31 Ford. If you have something to trade or would like to come look at the car text, call or email.
