by kgdb Thu Dec 03, 2009 7:06 pmand I am real glad to find this place, it looks great! I am a old timer that has done alot of fabrication over the years. I am a bodyman by trade but the last 19 years have been working for a large Auto Insurer here in canada. This past August I picked up a 67 E100, I was looking for one for sometime but they are fairly hard to find around here. The one I got was in need of some serious welding but being a bodyman that was the easy stuff. It had a little 170 CI with a 3 spd that I quickly (very quickly) got rid of. I built a nice little 302 and am using a AOD trans. I also put a 9" with 3.5's in it. Here is a link (youtube) to it running after I first fired it. The body has come along way since that video and if I can figure the site out I will post pics. I am just planning out the front disc swap and I think Dennis's kit is the way to go, tried and proven and all there, saves the hassle of piecing my own system together. I have swapped the MC over to the sideways Dodge van setup already. I didnt have a tailgate so I am just finishing up fitting a new style Dodge Ram tailgate, I section out a half foot on each side and it is fitting very well and will look great. I found a rear door handle and all linkage from a 67 ford Econoline van and will use that instead of the Dodge t/gate handle. It sure has been a fun project so far.
