The truck has been for sale on this very site before and I got not a single bite from anyone on it. Didn't realize I was committing some sort of...
Thanks for the heads up, that's excellent to know. It's a good running old 230 but I just want more ready parts availability and the...
No, I can't do it cheaper and easier than $500 for a running driving 350/350 combo with Mopar but thanks for all the opinions, they're exactly...
I'm guessing that aluminum may not be the look you're going for but you may check with Alcoa. My dad has a GMC Viking that has some polished...
Has anyone here dropped a SBC into one of these trucks? Got a line on a good running 350/350 combo for dirt cheap here locally and am thinking of...
Things aren't at their greatest but they're not as bad as they were in '09 or so either. There is some money to be made but being an owner-op is...
Just answered my own question on sourcing the hot wire, Summit has it. I'm an HEI retard, never dealt with GM stuff before now.
Thanks for the replies all. This is in a Chevy truck, the Dodge is just sitting now waiting for me to either get working on it or get it sold, I...
So on the girlfriends truck w/ 350 occasionally the truck just wont start, no spark. If I pop the distributor cap off and then put it back on...
Great job for you guys! My dad tried talking me into a shoebox that was dirt cheap for my first car but I wasn't having it. Got a '68 VW van...
I suffer from the same affliction. Been thinning the herd as of late but somehow the cars are never actually "worth" the value I put on them and I...
I'm the unfortunate owner of a 58 that I am reluctantly starting to restore. Not sure what all I am getting myseld into but I do know it's not...
Well the dirty ass shop cost me $128.32 just now. Painting the flatbed on my girlfriends OT truck and when I finished she pulled it out and ran...
I believe that was more of an endorsement for rustoleum than anything.
And as for the wiring, for the money I'd go with an aftermarket harness. They've made these things so easy to install now that they're hard to say...
Some stuff to do right you just can't do it cheap in my opinion. If you rustoleum the frame it probably won't last. The problem you're goof to run...
Just to answer some of your previous questions, that battery tray is original. No one makes patch panels for the cab there behind the front...
Small block was/is the plan for if/when the original 230 gives up. Part of me was hoping we couldn't get it running so we could just do that from...
I posted a couple of threads asking about parts on here and got somewhat limited responses. The chevy is a lot further along already which was...
So things have stalled out on the truck. The gf and I both decided maybe a truck that would be less of a project and have more parts available...
Where do you all source the oddball rubber stuff? I've got a 58 dodge truck that is going to need one of everything and I've not been able...
I'm trying to get creative in a similar way on an old Dodge that I just put a Holley on as well. Not sure what your original linkage was like but...
Been here a while now, not sure how I managed to post this on the intro page! sorry!
Oops! Wrong board!
Kinda OT but here's a pic of my gas sipper. Has the 2.0 and a 4 speed in it currently. Gets right around 31mpg! Planning on building a hot N/A...
2 sprint cars, 2 street stocks (and their spares), 2 24hrs of lemons cars, my trucking biz + mine and my dad's hobby vehicles all get worked on...
After about a week of tripping over air hoses, extension cords, jack stands and other random crap I finally got to a breaking point and spent 4...
The Dodge is fully alive! Got the rest of the fuel line replumbed and the truck fires up and runs with ease every time. Ran it for about 5 minutes...
Dropped the tank and dumped the old fuel out, no chunks or any other terrible crap going on so I didn't get too involved in cleaning it. I was,...
Progress has been slow as work has recently picked up andI've only been able to work on the truck about an hour at a time for a couple nights but...
