    Originally I was going to run the TH350. Now it is coming out and a T5 is going in. Thanks for the 327 tip.

    Stripped the paint off of the cab. Between Jasco and 3M C.R.U.D. pads on the angle grinder it work well.

    Shortened the bed 10" and cut the floor out.

    Hanging the fenders off the back of the bed and I'll build a roll pan to go between them for the tail lights, exhaust and licence plate mount.

    this might make me a ****, and only a few of you other ****s out there will know what I am saying, but are those BRM's?

    didn't know you could do that:)

    They are BRM's:) I still might go with them.
     
  12. Nice,,, but I dont like the single shear on the rod end on the brake plunger. One hard panic stop could shear that grade five right off. You have the room and the skills to make that safer.

    I don't think it is even grade 5. I used a piece of all-thread to get my length correct. I will use a grade 8 or better bolt for the final install unless you suggest something better.

    Got my air tank today for my air bag set up. Not sure what it is out of
    but it's about 5 gallons and was hooked to a compressor as an
    air storage tank.

    It only has 2 ports so I was going to run a copper or
    stainless line to one of these vintage fuel logs so I would have a few more.

    or

    This will all be mounted in the bed and I'll have a vintage looking set up.

    That is an oxygen tank from a WWII era aircraft. They used a lot of them in the B-17's. Awesome find, try not to cut it up!

    Notched the bed for the rear axle and modified the 40 ford rear fenders to fit flat against the IH bed.

    I like how this build is shaping up. Be interested to see how the narrowness (is that even a word :) ) of the front suspension is addressed. The front wheels look to be about 7-8 inches inside the fender lip.
