As well as a host of other lightweight parts installed, as mentioned earlier...anyone know where these early Ford super stockers were built, in house or farmed out.

The first (the dark bule Danny Jones driven) was built in the X-Garage at the Ford Test Track Dearbon, MI I seem to remember that the rest were Built at DST Dearborn Steel Tube same place that built T-Bolts
