If those are 16" wheels, you might be able to run a trim ring like the ribbed ones. Just an idea. I think you can get some chrome or stainless lug...
Do you have any other trailer(s) I would do like Steve said, get a couple 4x4's or if it is heavier than it looks a couple 6x6's for skids and...
To the OP, there is a local guy that is very very good but like you cannot physically be around paint work anymore. I do not know if he never used...
My 37 was 1/4" and I made the lines from a roll and put new fittings on it. Yes you can use adapters. I have also bought the premade lines from...
I go to see something new to me as far as vehicles, I don't go to the local cruise (park) nights or shows anymore because I have seen the same...
Jim just ran 10.33 @ 129.78 Mike in the ford 10.82 @ 122.28
I appreciate that he has kept the straight axle, so many people want to make them more comfortable and swap in newer tech. I am going to be...
Ran across this tonight, thought it was worth showing here. Very nice and detailed. Starts with the engine and trans rebuild then he shows...
My 37 gmc pickup had a stock 396 Qjet, th400, 3.08 gear with 275/60/15's. I drove it daily for 4 years. On the hwy at 72 mph I averaged 17.5 mpg....
It has been moved to the COE subforum or social group.
A bit of a sidetrack here, but I am a little amazed that different industries seem to handle the money so differently from each other when for the...
My guess is that is less money than a brick and mortar establishment with all the overhead that goes with it. I am amazed at how much money it...
"Once you step into the water, pretty soon you're up to your neck" Pretty cool...
The brownie boxes with overdrive are not as common as the ones that were low and direct. They made a few combinations, there is a 3 and 4 speed...
For me COE performance is measured differently than my hotrods or even pickups. Mine need to be a real truck, capable to haul and stop etc. The...
Just got home from Speedway's museum. 2nd time to go, I highly recommend it. I saw this while there, couldn't get any closer or better details....
I am not following why the sbc will be any different to plumb or wire, with all the tech articles where they are the featured engine, I'd think it...
Do you have a running engine in it already? I'd say get the thing on the road and have fun with it instead of changing your mind multiple times....
If I recall that spot is just single wall and very simple shape, I'd think that if you can put another piece in there, you would have the skill to...
I too have slowed down almost to a halt bringing stuff home, car related or not. For awhile I have been hauling machinery to the shop to make some...

I would guess if you have old style wheels on it and the engine covered up with nothing right out there obvious it has a new drivetrain etc in it...
I got my 37 when I was 14. Didn't get to drive it legally until after I graduated HS 3 years later. It was the only vehicle I had until I was 21....
That is a gmc, not sure on the model, I would guess military due to the 'cab' style. guys over at oldgmctrucks.com would probably know right off...
Rob, that is way cool. I had not caught up on your thread until today. I swapped a 5.3 into a 65 chevy and I got a harness from a local shop that...
No help really, but there is/was a 4 door Case car out of Parsons KS and if I recall correctly it is black with black frame. I think it was a...
In my experience the older pickups will haul as much as the newer ones, I have hauled alot with mine. If you are worried about capacity, consider...
For $400, I think you can bring it home and see what it has in it, possibly run it with the pcs it comes with. I have one that was the first...
