Topic: Custom Sunday

[lowboy]

This is more of a resto than custom but it looked so good.The guy bought it off evil bay from California. It was in the forestry department as it had a tag saying so. He has over 2000 hrs in it. Still runs on flathead 6. Modified an electric overdrive to fit the transfer case. Also put a cruise control for drivability. Got the intieor from Indiana. Grafted rear window out of a Ranger so he could have a sliding rear glass and a sunroof to replace a poorly installed RV vent.Also has a factory installed PTO driven winch. Saw this at the Sessor home coming carshow.

NICE!!  My FC 170 is my avatar!  It has a Dual Rear Wheel setup and a 1 ton front end with disc brakes.  The new 4L60E transmission incomplete as well as a Dana 20 transfer case. I'm building a wicked 406" small block Chevy engine with LT1 induction and many modifications.

If you've never driven one of these, you just can''t imagine the sensation you get going down a steep hill.

It was my daily driver several years ago with the flatty six and a three speed.  It was a little anemic!!
