Sold the Lincoln, Now it's an IH Metro Project
- Thread starter Turbo Performance
- Start date
That's the plan anyway. Probably take a breath and spend the summer having fun with the truck then spend a little time on the Lincoln. I'm not looking for another long project, hopefully just an engine/trans swap with some wheels and bags.
Lol ya we can all understand that. I just would like to push my buddy to do it with his 66 Lincoln but he keep trying to say it won't fit. When you have it done he won't be able to say that lol.
Nothing a sawzall won't fix.
. I seriously don't see it being a problem though. I've pulled a few quick measurements and I think trans fitment is a bigger concern without cutting on the floor. The engine bay has enough room to build a small apartment to live in.Edit: I just saw the original post date when I brought it home. Man, I'm way behind schedule.
Well things definitely changed. I kinda fell out of love with the Lincoln, sold it and the guy picked it up yesterday. But as one project leaves, another project takes it's place. Gained enough extra cash to buy a 1965 International Metro. Going to pick it up this week. Plan is to de-body a 4wd Dmax, bag it, and put the Metro on it. Probably end up as my daily driver. Tired of a big monthly truck payment for something that has only been driven 5k in the first year.

:roflmao: I love it, Levi!!!!
You should paint it white and then try to find an old milkman's uniform. Or turn it into an ice cream truck ala Josh's van. Either would be hilarious.

That would have the total cool factor but on the other hand the patina is too perfect to mess up.
I have my dads original 66 Chevy home delivery milk truck. Its in a barn in Cali but its ready to be set on a dmax dually frame.
:rofl: I like both ideas. Honestly not sure what direction I'll go with it. Need to see how much help the body needs. I know I'm a lot happier with how different it is. That was the problem I ended up having with the Lincoln, there's a ton of very cool Lincoln Continentals already out there so it's hard to stand out. Even with a Duramax mill.
