well story is my wife got a call from her friend today. He told her that his dad has a 53 ford with a flathead in the garage that he needs to get rid off. He told here that it is FREE and that it needs some wheels for it so we can move it on a trailer. He also told her it may need a floor and maybe fenders. Well after the conversation was done she callled me right away. She also told my son so he is bouncing of the walls right now. Well he will send me some pics of it so i can see. What do you think of this. One question thought what kind of lugs did it have and what was the bold spacing or pattern? any help would be great since i havent worked on fords.
The trucks have a 5 on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern, same as a modern F150. The cars had a 5 on 4 1/2" pattern, same as a lot of older Ford, Mopar and AMC cars with rear wheel drive. You didn't mention if it's a car or a truck. Good luck.
its a car, hardtop 2 door, well thats what he told my wife. so the lug patern and size is 5 on 4 1/2 right like mentioned above?
oops! dont know why I automaticly thought it was a truck??? guess because Ive had three 53s and a 56 truck
thanks guys. Well i got some pics today but they are to small to post here because u cant see anything. But i saw that its complete exept tires and rims, got all the chrome but rusty, got a complete flathead, complete interior, needs total resto. i will post pics of it when its in my yard. gonna pic it up in 2 3 weeks.
