    Looks like a great start for a project. What engine and ****** combo are you thinking about using?

    To get it to the H.A.M.B. an inline 6 and probably a turbo 350 I have pretty good connections to both...I told a strictly chevy guy I was thinking about putting a ford 302 in it and he said he would help me do anything I need to as long as I didn't do that haha he said he could rebuild a turbo 350 or powerglide for me and I can get one of them that needs rebuilt for free so that will work out alright...I am putting an inline 6 in it to get it going so we can get it to the hamb and have some fun but then it will unfortunitaly get parked for a year or two while I am getting "educated" haha or the guy helping me can drive it then I would like to put a 327 or nailhead? in it.

    Also have another question...I have a couple sets of fox body mustang bucket seats and I was wondering if those would work out pretty well and what I would have to do or would a rear bench seat work? I haven't done any measuring yet but the bench seats from the mustang seem narrow enough...anyone have any ideas?

    Also what is the bolt pattern on the factory 6 lug wheels?

    Congrats on the 40 pU.. now go rent: The Last Picture Show !!!
    -41-
     
  4. The first number of the serial number is the year. If it starts with a 9 it is a 39. If it starts with a 0 it is a 40, 1 is a 41 and so on. Serial tag should be on the p***enger side of the cowl when you open the hood. This also works on the AD or 47-54 pickups for finding out the year. Pat.

    Not sure about ***les in MO but here in Mississippi if you have two bill of sales you can get a ***le for your car. I bought my car and didn't get a ***le, but did get a bill of sale. I registered the car with that to get a license plate, then took my wife to the DMV and sold it to her with a Bill of Sale. Since she now had two bill of sales (mine and hers) she was able to ***le the car. Maybe it's the same where you are?
