Richie66 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I decided to build a street rod at 66 years of age, wish me luck--I have a complete steering wheel w/horn ring, a Packard radiow/speaker-(don't know if it works)-wiper motor with wiper arms. the frame will be cut so I'll have all the front suspension parts, steering column w/shifter rod. one complete 8 cylinder engine w/transmission, drive shaft and coming up a complete rear end. if you think you might need any of this give me a call, I don't know what any of this is worth so if you want to make a offer I'll listen. just make a fair offer----Richie (601) 679-1455 Meridian, Ms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie66 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 It came out of the 1940 Packard 120, what is the difference between a flat head 8 and the super 8. thanks, Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 By the way, thank you for offering your uneeded parts to us restorers. I hear too many stories of hot rod projects where the original parts were just tossed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Packards1 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Mal, the radio will not work in a 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I know that a lot of the same suspension and chassis parts crossed over on the big eights from 1940 to 1941, but I don't know about Juniors. I think they do, but I don't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
