Hi Sky Six,, I wasn't't referring to this one specifically as I'd never seen it before today. What I meant was 50 years ago I was poring over...
Ah yes, the ol' Shovster, Shovelhead heads and barrels on a Sportster lower end. Kinda cool concept, but from what I read, (50 years ago) didn't...
This thing is beautiful, but please excuse my ignorance, who made these wheels?
That's impressive! My bust, just didn't follow the link far enough.
Looks good but need more pics of the completed truck. Your link only has one of the before photos.
Not a gasser and kinda cheesy, but this thread reminds me of this video. [MEDIA]

No problem, just retired last month so I have the time. Glad you have it sorted. These one year only vehicles make an interesting search for some...
Sorry, but no luck on that bracket. The clutch pedal is still in the car, but not much under the hood other than a rusty master cylinder and...
I'll take a look tomorrow when it's light. Our '59 originally came with a manual transmission, but there's enough cobbled up stuff from deck...
Thank you Moriarity, extremely time consuming and much appreciated! '59 Ranchero also, but it's a little rougher than Adriatic Machine's so no...
I'm more of a reader than a poster, but I'll take whatever show up here. Thanks, John
Thank you, I think I even have one of their catalogs around here somewhere. You wouldn't happen to remember what you used on yours by chance?
Thanks for this. I checked with them, but the numbers they provided were what I found earlier and they're OOS anyway. May have to just order some...
I can't for the life of me figure out which clips are used to install the single spear front fender trim on '59 Galaxies and Rancheros. I have the...
Great pics, thanks. Had to look twice at the '59 Ford before I realized it's a 4 door.
Thanks for the photos NOSFord. Hats off to you and the others for doing anything in that kind of heat.
Well said. I'm going to need something like that for the ol '59 Ranchero once we get it patched up and running.

Definitely interesting, but more for the man or woman who has everything I think. The hood that came with my Ranchero has some see through...
Well, that sucks. Hoping things get better for you.
I don't know why you're selling it, but that is one helluva nice Ford! Hope you have another one in the works.
50 years at various stints as a welder, machinist, and diesel mechanic and didn't even think of this. Jesus, must be getting dumber. Agree, but...
Both good suggestions, thank you. Have the originals soaking in Evaporust and will check on the kit. I know McMaster-Carr isn't cheap, but...
Along with the rust removal I'm trying to track down oval head stainless screws for all the trim and body parts for a '59 Ranchero. Might have...
I hear you on the bastard child deal as I also am working on a '59 Ranchero. It's a long way from going down the road however. Buna, Buna-N...
A little more work than I'd tackle, but have to admire the vision and effort to go that route. Curious as to how much of an improvement that will...
Interesting. I would have thought they'd mount it 180 so you didn't have to step over the hitch to get in the trunk. Love the 70% Ford parts. ;)
It's a safe bet the driver wasn't on their phone though. Love this thread!
