FATMAN Dropped Spindles Rebuilt 350 V8

STK 3040 1947 Ford Custom Deluxe Street Rod

This outstanding 1947 Ford Deluxe Sedan was restored to be driven and enjoyed. The restoration centered not only on appearance, but also serious mechanical upgrades. As a foundation, the factory Ford chassis was replaced by a 1957 Chevy boxed frame and suspension w/Fatman dropped spindles and GM differential. The 2-door body was reinstalled and professionally refinished in 2-stage GM Meadow Green. Handles were shaved and rear lights were 'frenched'. All chrome and stainless are in excellent condition and chrome American Racing alloys provide the perfect accent. The Beige leather interior is stunning and Cadillac bucket seats (power driver) are a perfect fit. A custom dash holds Classic VDO gauges, electric speedo and the tilt wheel assembly mounts a Grant wheel. Other features include center console, Wilk-Bilt power door openers, Bear Claw latches, electric wipers, power windows, power trunk, 'sunroof', tinted windows and a lot more. The engine compartment houses a rebuilt 350ci Chevy small-block that sounds sweet and is very streetable. It was bored .040 over, fitted with an aluminum intake/4V carburetor and exhaust is routed through functional side pipes. A Walker 4-core radiator and electric fan provide cooling. The Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual gearbox is fitted to a Lakewood bell housing and managed by a Keisler hydraulic clutch assembly. A '71 GM 12-bolt differential is equipped with 3.42:1 gears. The Chevy chassis is equipped with power steering, power disc/drum brakes w/Wilwood proportioning valve, front sway bar and gas front shocks. A 22-gallon fuel tank has been installed and all electrics have been upgraded to a 12V alternator configuration with a custom Streetworks/Ron Francis harness and remote boost adaptor. This handsome street rod was built right and is ready is for your next cruise. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
