This project appealed to me because it looked quick, fun and I had most things needed to complete it. So I took a week off work and started the build.
On day1 I brought out a frame I had built earlier. I built this frame with an honest, cut right
out of the car, Mustang II front suspension. The rear suspension is the rear axle out of the Mustang in a 4 bar setup using the cut in half Mustang leaf springs in quarter eliptical fashion as the upper bars.
I had an engine I pulled from an 81 Mustang and a transmission from a 80 model ford truck.
The body for this build is a 1948 Ford F3 truck. It was a long bed but it will shortly be a very short bed! I mounted the engine and transmission.
This is a mostly stock engine but should be plenty of power for a lightweight truck like this.
