    Best I have for now, this is the car exactly as I got it. I hope this works OK. Is there a specific area for pictures here?

    Yea, it's a solid car but still a 20 footer. The top is filthy and it has some rust in the quarter right behind the drivers side rear tire. I'm working on it slowly. I hope to go to the JY this week to get started on my disk brake swap! Peyton

    I'm located in southeastern Ohio(gallipolis 45631). I can be in WV in about 5 min. I am not familiar with the term LDO. What does that mean?

    Thanks for the info, it makes sense now. I had read that, in the standard catalog of ford that I borrowed from the library, but it just didn't click. That is one of the things I liked about the car is the buckets. It is pretty comfy for an old car.

    I plan to clean it up and make it safe for the road. The 200 runs pretty good. The radiator leaks a little, it needs all new belts(they are original with ford part number on them) and I will check out the brakes too. It needs some tunes also. Just little things for now. Maybe mod the 200, or an engine swap in the future.
