Truck was taken apart by previous owner 20+ years ago in Australie and received quickie paint job. Hadit shipped to Port of Norfolk Va. No engine or transmission. Since I received it I have done the following: Switched out the entire right hand drive firewall with a 55/56 US Model to accept Left hand Drive set up.and US Dash Fit up 55/56 US Dash-all fit nicely Installed US Steering box, automatic transmission steering column, drag link and steering components. New in box power brake booster included. Rebuilt front suspension. sway bar, new front shocks and all bushings Installed Wildwood front disc brake set up. Bought 55/56 US 4 Dr with nice running 292 Y Block-cleaned and detailed with dress up valve covers etc.; Remainder of that donor car included in sale Sent Fordomatic transmission to shop for complete rebuild and is on a pallet Frame X members, bed rails, frame kickups and floors are solid as a rock. There is evidence of past body work, paint cracks and body filler along with a dent over DS rear tail lamp and prior dent/damage in DS rear wheel arch ares. I have 99% of everything taken off the truck-trim, light buckets, bumpers, medallions, etc. in storage/bins/bags & boxes. These bodies had same sheet metal as US Station wagon. Prior owner said rear end was bad and another one was shipped with the car. Included is the remainder of the parts car which donated the firewall, motor and transmission. lots of good trim and stuff on it to spruce the bare bone Australian look. I intended to use the rear end out of the parts car as it was geared for an automatic. Also included is a good running 302 with a C-4 if you want to stay out of the Y-Block era. Front clip and is bolted together finger tight and strapped on a pallet. Would prefer to speak with interested parties as opposed to countless emails. Call Nick at 703-966-8422. Truck is located 20 miles West of D.C. in Northern Va. suburbs. These are very popular and pricey in Oz and you will pay what I'm asking if you head over, find one, book passage in asea container with freight forwarder, pay customs on both ends and dock fees at release. Please call with any questions
