Currently running the FH-6/3 speed. Have a 352 PI/3 speed w/OD waiting for a freshening.
I like Mordors too. Have a '50 as a daily driver...wouldn't have it any other way. Us 'older folks' can manouver in and out with ease.
This is one I did with a 53 column, same deal and turn signal lever built in. <!-- / message --><!-- attachments --><FIELDSET...
The vintage Michelins sound like a workable solution for now. I was looking for something like the old F70X15's. Guess they were later than I...
