Re: 61 Ford unibody project
The inline 6 was froze up and missing its head and other parts so the front end came off as well as the inline 6 and 3 on the tree.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
Cut out the bottom of the cab and torque box so the drive shaft would clear all the way down.And welded it all back up when I was sure the driveshaft fit.
