Hey Guys,
I've been accumulating parts for my new project for a while now and have most of what I need. I picked up a '55 ford cab with a clean title, got a straight front axle from another '55 ford truck, got a posi rear end from a Jeep Cherokee. steering rack from a mustang II, dual master cylinder brake system from a circle track car, old hurst floor shifter (automatic). pretty much the only thing I need now is the tranny.
I want something long and low, it will have "floating" fenders on each wheel.
the cool factor will be that I'm planning on using 2 305's end to end tied together at the crank.
my first question of many is this, do you guys think a 2x4 steel boxed frame will be strong enough to support the two V-8's, the tranny and the cab? or should I go with something stronger like a ladder style chassis like the modern dragsters use?
