I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Like the stance of your ride. Thinking of doing my 57-1/2 in the same manner. I have a friend building a panel, using a Pinto front susp. with a Granada rear axle, he had to do some mods to the rear inner panels for wheel-tire clearance.

Was the lincoln 8.8 rear end an easy swap in? Did it give you a better top end speed? Please tell me what the engine and transmission you used came out of? I have a 1948 Suburban and want to do more then 55.

Thanks

Mark
