NON Chevy’s in the Wild

[76zimmer]

Oh man, I had a guy tell me about 40 years ago that the best way to make a Ford run, is to put a Chevy engine in it….and he was driving a SBC 33Ford pickup!

There is a couple of these guys (including the owner of that barn) that are Ford guys. They’re some skilled dudes, so I just listen most of the time and not take a jab at a Ford. I don't want to burn any of these bridges. One of them is a welder I worked with, and another is a painter for a real high dollar HotRod shop close by. And they’re all good dudes!

I drove an hour SW to buy a small enclosed trailer. Had to go through 2 security check points. Cheapest house listed was 1.2 million. PGA Golf course. Marina. Club House was as big as an elementary school.
I felt better about being there, when I saw this on a driveway.

67ish? D200 @ Battle Creek MI. A shame to see it on the salty roads.

Sounded good, when he left.

Those old extra cabs are cool.

I do like these Land Cruisers, Series 80, IIRC.



But look closely…

Must be an imported FZJ80 model.

I had a ‘94 80 series for over a decade and loved it !

That little side marker lamp behind the wheel opening on the fender is also a foreign market thing too. I’d put money on it being a diesel (not available in the US).

If it’s an oil burner that would make it an HJ instead of FJ - gas or diesel it’s sweet !

That “refrigerator” door handle was ‘61-‘66, ‘67 has a push button.
Did it have the “pie tin” headlights (‘65-‘67)? Prior to those, they had quad headlights.

This a 4400 car being built by a young guy here in town, also hapoens to be renting a house from us. His tig welding is beautiful.
Somewhere on CK5 I pisted another off road racer he built.

I don’t know what kind of Ford it is but it’s cool. Galaxy maybe? I thought those were 4 door land yachts.

That green wagon is drool worthy.
That next post is almost pig pen worthy lol
