My El Camino runs a '76 truck 350 with a Edelbrock Performer and a Quadrajet. Its smooth as silk. We have a '79 Chevy truck with a 350 and a...
I've had this motor and tranny around my shop for years. The local shriners bought it to put in their truck, and ended up just giving it to us...

I started a thread about this too. Mine was '53 Merc Quarters with 12" quarters extensions, on a unknown ford chassis. '50 Lincoln fenders, a back...
I'd run a bed. Nothing sucks worse than lack of storage space. Just make it easy to take on and off so you can change things up. The truck looks...
Guess I should clear up my comment about airbags being useless by saying that once you gut the bed floor, z the frame up to the bedrails, and...
Pour it on the burn pile. Use it in the bottle jack for the cherry picker. Paint for barns, trailer floors, etc. Atleast I keep it out of the...
Alright, about how much horsepower/torque did this motors put out? The skidder probably needs about 80 or so to function right. I figure with a...
We've got a '58 Chevy Viking 1 1/2 Ton 6 cylinder, is it a 292? Were debating on swapping it into a 70's Hercules Log Skidder if it is. Is there...
What size pipe should I use, aesthetically and performance. Most of these set-ups look like their running about 1 3/4" pipe. My motor is Chevy...
I think the reason for electric fans in new vehicles is simply to fail.
There was also a guy killed locally by the rivets in his flex fan failing. Stabbed him in the chest. I don't trust electric fans. Too many...
The zebra lines are usually from painting side to side and up, and not diagonally. Like I said, I'll start in the corner of the bed, fender, door,...
I actually like Spray Paint on a beater or parts hauler. Just do your prep right and be patient. Do the bed first, overlap you coats of paint....

I tried searching, but couldn't find anything on tailpipes that run right underneath the bed cap and out the back. I've seen it before, but I'm...
I started out with a Powerwheels Jeep when I was two. Moved on to a Go-Kart, then my dad's S-10 when I was about 6. then a CJ-7 and Dodge Ram....
Love the old welders, I honestly believe they weld better. First thing I ever welded with (and still weld with) was my dad's old abused ancient...
Neat. I've got a 46 Chrysler that I'm planning on putting a S-10 frame under. The local junk man will trade me S-10 frames for any older frame...

I had a '31 Chevy 5 window with the decklid removed, and a plank style bed built into the trunk. Old guy used it in the oil fields as a truck,...
Took some pictures of the old frame before it gets exported to China as rebar. I'm not sure what make it really was. Anyone else care to guess?...
Anyone ever considered using FWD 15x7's outers with older centers? I always thought that the extreme negative offset of these wheels would make...
In my own view, once you put air bags in a truck, its useless. But lowering blocks just make it easier to load shit, and therefore more useful in...
I got the body off the frame today. Shes pretty rough, but I believe with a good cheater section she'll look alright. The local junk man will...
I was once told that the 350 in my 80 El Camino ran so good because it was painted Ford Blue. It was GM Blue, but oh well.
Yeah, you can have brakes by the time you get the S-10 halfway stripped down.
Trade it for a two wheel drive. The 4x4 S-10 frames are only good for, well, 4x4 S-10s, or maybe a Chevette body.
Yeah, please do not widen that car. It will look awful and you will need custom glass ($$$$). Not to mention the work involved in widening it and...
