Engine casting # says it's a 283, built in 1957. I like where you're going with this!
Great project, I'll be following, love dem trucks! Studebaker is a plus, had a bullet nose in the 60's.
8BA with all machine work done, NEW pistons, rings, valves, springs, bearings, cam, heads, headers, intake, carb, water pumps, and an F1 rad, $500...
Hah, I'll be 71 in February, Happy Birthday! Projects keep me alive!
Three home runs, don't stop now!
Great history and cool car, looks like a factory chopped top!
Officially jealous, not that I need another truck!
I've had no luck with electric fans. Both my 60 Corvette (430hp) and fenderless 40 Ford truck (8BA) overheated badly until I switched to...
My dad in OCS early 40's. I'm another WWII product, dad was from Utah, met my mom in Montana during the war. [ATTACH]
25TT with manually operated dump bed. I restored this truck in early 80's. [ATTACH]
Nice!
Yes, a little spendy but it's sure nice to cruise 70 @ 2200rpm with my 4:10 gears. Not noisy at all, of course this is an old truck! I share...
Got one in my old Ford 4x4, Gear Vendors makes it. Not manually operated, but well worth the $ [ATTACH]
Evidently Jaguar doesn't worry about 1/10th Litre. I'm just going by the casting on the block. Yes it is a 3.4L [ATTACH]
Not so shiny XK Jag 3-1/2 Litre in my '52 MKVII. Very sweet, smooth. [ATTACH] Check out the ceramic coated exhaust manifolds: [ATTACH]
Thanks for the great tutorial. I've always crimped, then soldered, and have had NO problems with wiring, some over 20 years old. Next project...
Same same, this one is a 52 MKVII
What a timeless beauty! Could have been built this year!
Looks great!
Love that 'Binder - still assembling the FAB3 OHV in my '35. Interesting motor to say the least!
[ATTACH]
Very Cool - well done!
So cool to read about all the support you're getting. This is as close to LSR as most of us will get! BEST of luck!
I get asked that question fairly often. My reply, "No it's a Corvette!''
Nice coupe!
Wow, awesome car, congrats!
Checked the end gap on piston rings for the Binder [ATTACH]
Before I installed a hydraulic clutch I basically blew out the firewall on mine. Ended up sandwiching the firewall between two pieces of aluminum...
Before you buy new springs you might try removing both rear springs and swapping leaves around to come up with a pair that match.
My dad was always a car guy, me too. From his first car in 1938 - a '29 roadster with chopped windshield and 16" wheels, to my latest - a heavily...
