That BVD pattern is a big part of the holdup, as you know. Most of the 14s are 6" or narrower until you get past HAMB era.
I wasn't walking yet in the 50s, so not personal experience here. Consider what's happening. A person of a certain character wants their...
Without any hard data, I'd guess that oil and seals are part of it, but better modern practices for emissions and MPG including design geometry...
Kept seeing the title but scrolling by. Since it keeps getting bumped, I thought Who is the typical pickup owner? Here's my contribution to the...
Valid responses! I was asking to get solid real world use ideas. Trailers are a biggie and can really increase the power needed to pull...
Did you ever have a non-car guy or gal stare at you in wonder and ask "How do you know all this stuff?" I know how they feel! I can spot a lot of...
I'd guess that there were more wood craftsmen across the country in the first half of the century. I'd also guess that Woodies in general were...
@Roothawg I get the fantasy of a new combo and learning, I really do. But your stated goal is a 1956 F100 with a 445 FE engine doing lots of...

Reread your post. This aftermarket line, is it solid? They can mess you up if the tolerances stack. The flex ones have give to cover thicker...
Glad you got it answered and sorted. Props to @deathrowdave for the gear offer. I enjoy inheritance machining's videos. I know there are a ton of...
Nothing I can say will make that first drive feeling any better, but I'm glad you got it done, glad it's working, glad you have a show soon and...
Unfortunately, it sounds like this is going to be a civil matter. Any and all paperwork from the partial sale and the estate should help, but...
They do have special wrenches, but clean dry undamaged threads and the proper washer should do it. You can try a socket before the line goes on...
That hole in my head, it stings! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1059289056159880/ 1948 Dodge panel wagon van truck van Rat rod hot rod...
Best of luck, @wheeltramp brian Please make sure your friend understands this is a patch, not a freshen or rebuild!
Nice! Be sure to grab a few 2x4s and check which way they are most comfortable. I like them a bit higher in front to support my butt, keep me...
25 bucks and you can see more! ;):D...
Try to grab a pair of thin, soft gloves and after getting approval, 'feel' the body too. Let it talk to you. Remember that there is no spot that...
Nice job on the battery cover! You are nailing the details.
Sleeving is a fairly common repair, and so long as it's done properly a good one. Watch out for adjoining cylinders to be a bit out of round after...
Glad to hear. Since you did end up with a firm, hard pedal with the shoes engaged, that proves the hydraulic part of the system. So it should be a...
Better than thinkin "I don't gotta torch, let's build a fire under it!"
@wheeltramp brian since you said 'a customer' and 'build sheet' I'm guessing this is a paying customer that could comeback. I'd start with a...
Yes, but probably not a full revolution, like you may be thinking. More like a bike or car tire when it's rolled forward a couple inches, then...
I'd say that even with solid mounts, the valve cover to hood clearance is awful tight. That along with the 'points' on the hood sides not getting...
Checks calendar, Hmm, it's not dead of winter with the usual topic rehash... Must be summer break! Lemmie break it down like this. If the go fast...

Yeah, the one on the floor might be the special engine, with the front blower mount. The stand is not SBC, front cover with fuel pump on left not...
Hopefully we can ignore the overflow and rears and leave this one here. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1246262450306929/ 1923 Ford t...
