The rear fenders in that pic are '40 Ford pickup, and you'll notice a shifter handle sticking up through the floor, it's a T5 from a Chevy that I adapted to the 288. The "floor" is the roof skin from a '50 Hudson. The front axle is a Dodge truck, and the rear axle is a '49-'50 Hudson. They fit perfectly, but I plan on using a 1994+ Mustang 8.8" rear end with disc brakes, for ease of parts availability and better stopping. I'll probably have manual brakes, though.
