Re: 1954 Ford Ranch Wagon door panels

Try Larry’s TBird.com in so cal. They made custom door panels for my 1953 Courier wagon. I say custom because they don’t normally make door panels for 53, they start at 54. Top notch company.

Re: 55 sedan delivery eng conversion

Jamco sells the various mounts I think. You could check with them. I used their mounts to put a 302 and AOD in my 53 Courier.

Re: Shoebox Ford rear end swap

I used the rear from an 8” from 74 Maverick and it bolted in. The spring pads were in the right place already. Used 15 x 7 Wheel Vintique wheels. I also cannot remember the backspacing.

Re: Exhaust headers

I also have them on my 1953 Courier with 302/AOD and Borgeson steering box. I did have to dimple a slight amount to clear the steering box. Otherwise no clearance issues.
