Hey, Mech. Glad to hear the truck is doing well. Pretty cool how you put a 617 in there. Got any new pics?

Oh, P.S. That radiator is still running great in my car. You really helped me out there. Thanks!

I'll bet a strait 6 came out of the truck. Nice to drop an L5 diesel in there. Sweet.

I have a friend in Tulsa who is doing just that.

Glad to help, still have another if someone else needs one.

The truck was an original L6, but someone had stuck a 318 Mopar in there along with an attempt at putting a Plymouth Volare suspension under it.

What was the problem with the Volare suspension?

..I also have a 427 Cobra replica with an aluminum chassis.

Whoever attempted to install it had no idea of how to go about it safely, the frame was so chopped up I decided to cut it in front of the cab mounts and graft on a Lincoln frame clip instead. I admit the truck still doesn't ride like a Town Car, but a lot of that has to do with weight and body mounts.
