Hey Frank ,
I have a 1941 Ford Pickup with the original 6 Cylinder engine. no frills,
original floor shift . New rebuilt engine purrs like a kitten.
Very few mods...Radial Tires etc. Highway Rear Gear. Perfect for cruising
Toms River. no Rust, Nice clean Red paint and Wide Coker Classics .
It has a 39 Ford Trans, Syncro. But if you really want to Double clutch, I
have the original 4 speed with granny gear. Such a Deal!
