Yeah, as I understand it the AMC 258 accessories will swap over as well, so I can get rid of the serpentine belt also. I thought about getting a...
OK, I will definitely just rebuild the front end. There's lots of good info in the thread, and I appreciate it. I found a place that does a...
Heh, no MII... I'd still like to use it as a truck. The only alternative I came up with was the Jeep axle.
Thanks for the info, on all accounts! I think I've heard about re-mounting the axle, but wasn't sure what that was about. I'll look over the...
Thanks for the link, it's got some good parts there. I guess I'm not worried about rebuilding the front end, since I should be able to (depending...

All of the OEMs use crimping for their connections, with high-dollar crimp tools, for basically two reasons. It's way faster than soldering, and...
I live on the other side of the river from Portland, OR. Highway is the only way to get to Portland, and pretty much around Portland efficiently...
I am thinking about going to an Explorer rear end, as I understand it uses the same wheel bolt pattern and is the exact width of the stocker. I...
So before I decide to rip out the original motor on my truck for something else, I thought I would see if I can get any ideas for the orginal....
Contact Daniel Stern, he would be able to get them if anyone can. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/
Hehe... here's my recent auto parts story. I went to work trying to pull my 1950 Binder truck out and get it moved to a new location. Except,...
It sounds like I am good to go with the Jag rear. It's an earlier Dana 44; the gear bolt holes and such are different, and the U-joints are...
I think the LL8 is pretty much out--especially with the tall gears. If I were to supercharge it, it will be well down the road. I guess I'm...
The two cars I am looking at are '85 and '87 XJ6's. The '87 says it has a "burnt valve". The '85 I guess drives nice, but is almost 2x the cost...
I'll see what I can find. I found a couple that I was looking at buying the whole car, as it was probably as cost-effective and there are some...
Me neither, I need to do some research. It's not a very HAMB-friendly motor, but Chevy's LL8 Vortec inline 6 is intriguing. Almost 300HP if you...
The Tacoma transmission I was thinking about should have these gears: 6 Speed Manual 1st = 4.17 2nd = 2.19 3rd - 1.49 4th = 1.19 5th = 1 6th =...
It's a 1950 International L-112. I haven't decided on a motor, but the original is pretty well done. If I rebuilt it, a solid 90HP @ 3600 RPM...
I have been looking at the Jag rear ends, and the cars I've been looking at I *think* are all going to have 2.88 gears. I don't want to buy new...
Well, this is kind of an update to my previous thread some of you may have seen about a pair of trucks I was trying to decide between. It looks...
Maybe that was it, I thought it started with a P. I was hoping to go down tomorrow and check it out. Were they pretty complete? The pictures...
I think somewhere on here someone posted a while back they found a few nice Scouts in a junkyard somewhere in/around PDX and posted pictures, but...
Well, as an update, it looks like I will probably be getting both. They'll be stored on family land (different than where they're at now) until I...
Well, just looking VERY briefly, shipping it might be the way to go. I was looking at a couple online shippers, and they had quotes of about...
What kind of modifications did you have to do to get that Chevy to tow? It might be easier to ship, but it is in some pieces now so I'm not sure...

Thanks all. :)
Not really, but the cab and front clip of the Binder are mostly unharmed. It seems like there is a small dent on the back of the cab (which...
The Binder has a much bigger interior, and a sliding seat :D. The Chevy is kind of small inside.
