If you’re asking us for colour opinions, black doesn’t go out of style, the light green looks neat, but the two tone with Indian logo suits the truck best. If you’re not asking for colour opinions, - nice looking truck you have there ! (even better if you paint it two tone with the Indian logo).

oddly the 37 pickup is burgundy with black fenders I have to run it blue I am trying to decide what saturation - -i am thinking sky blue - -quite light aesteticals !! damn!! I am still trying to learn how to not set myself on fire!! -its more everything else visually, I think I need to lower down the back of mine some, don't know by how much, the project isn't at my home and I get there and my brain must be going as I keep forgetting what I am supposed to be doing and end up wasting time.........
find the wooden blocks that sit at the rear of the bed and find out how they fit. were they from the 37 as they may be different? what size is the bundy tube for the windscreen wipers, is it 8mm aluminium tube light weight wall? 91031045 - R need a new right caliper thanks got a new left thanks
I would love to see one of these with the grill sectioned a bit and sucked back behind the leading edges of the front fenders, I don't know why Ford had them stick out so prominently. That being said, the sea-foam green on black wires would be welcome in my home. It looks just as right as you can get.
i measure twelvety times, cant get the oil filter remote in ffs, hits the wishbone, cant turn the engine over - -ffs no one told me there was a top loader mt75 for petrol ford 4 cylinders from a mk5 transit van - -one model specific smiley front van for the 4 cylinders getting one of them then
Cool truck my man, def some hard graft gone in so far. Be careful sharing pics of your engine and transmission combo on here though as they don't comply with board rules.
for me its nothing about the engine its all about the gearbox mk1 transit type 2? stick on left of case mk2 transit type 9 box ?stick on outside of case at the front mk3 transit -pinto type 9 stick on side mt75 diesel box only with factory adaptor to pinto 4 cylinder petrol mk4 transit same as above? mk5 transit gets its own mt75 4 cylinder ford petrol case finally, but needs to be top loading as the pic as the mk5 transit smiley rwd is still a tight cab van / /pickup = transit van specific, to take the 4 cylinder petrol sierra block evolution -- not the pinto block or zetec, transit runs a 8 valve twin cam sierra engine with coil packs on the front mk6 transit mt75 4 cylinder petrol front with transit tail - -engine goes to 2300cc case is the same as the sierra mt75 uses the sierra granada tail mount but uses the transit stick position on the tail - -van body shape and size changes in mk6 mk7 transit all change, engine goes mazda duratec 2300cc - -lpg its why its so confusing as the cc stays the same BUT its a completely different engine and gearbox - -i think it have the box with dual starter locations for petrol and derv - -starter bolts flat to the bell house so you say - -well why dont you go for a mk7 mazda based transit rwd set up... the answer isfor rhd no good as exhaust is drivers side 2 its an aluminium block and the crankshaft girdle is part of te block = =i.e. cross bolted caps -so the crank line to lower sump oil pan area is deep - -toodeep for cross steering - -zetec is the last iron block ford motor.- - intake driver side rhd = =
I don't know how I missed this. FABULOUS!! Where in Lundinium are you?? I have a 35 pickup with some 36 panels and I am in Boston Lincs. Charlie.
