since I was about 11 yrs old, there was a 1960 ford drag car that someone in our neiborhood was running, I loved the way that car looked and set, name of the car was Thunder, solid black two door hardtop, amount of chrome, just right, strange for a time of glitz and shiny junk on cars. this was...

505, I had one in a 64 Bel in 75, did that on a regular basis, mine would spilt the pan right down the middle, bout 6 inches. didn't seem to hurt any thing except for the mess of oil and the trouble of changing the gasket. the only time it happened was when I missed a shift and the rpms went...

Try a place called vintage power wagons, they are on the interweb and not hard to find, the flat fender powerwagon cabs were based on the 39 cab, if that one will work you are in luck as I am pretty sure that you can obtain one from them. Dave.

I dont think the seats in the super A cars from Hurst were the same seats as the old van seats that the 64 and 65 super B cars was. Dave.

the seats that are in my old 64 Plymouth, as far as I can tell they are the same seat as the SS cars had in 63-4 and 5, at least they look the same, and they are light, and have foam rubber on them. the bomber seats that were being sold surplus at the time had no cushions and were very narrow...

I was lucky in that I found my seats 45 yrs ago in a 1965 dodge van, they weigh 30 pounds each and thats pretty fair for a stock seat. I am using also stock bucket seat mounts from a unknown b-body, also from many years ago. if you are lucky enough to find a set of van seats it will be worth...
