I’m reading SPI will fill 180 scratches. I might just have to finish off with more epoxy. Thanks.
Sorry I shouldn’t say I need something that builds I just need a primer that will fill the 180 scratches. I should mention that although the...
Hey metlmuncher I actually used SPI epoxy onto the bare metal prior to bodywork and highbuild. I agree it is nice stuff and sands decent, but...
thanks for the reply K13. I have actually read the TDS sheets for both products and you’re right I didn’t fully follow the instructions for FF....
Whoa! Thanks for all the replies and valuable info. Sorry for not checking back sooner. I ended up disassembling the truck (1964 c10) for final...
Rather than start a new thread I figured I’d add a question to this one. I have done 2 rounds of featherfill with guidecoat and have my truck...
Could the valve tip/rocker arm angle been off enough to put lateral force on the valve stem? Maybe the guide wasn't installed properly? Just...
Thanks! ss34coupe, Most of its pretty rusty but i'll see what I can do! ha!
23 posts and just realized I never did an intro. I'm 30 y/o and have always been into old vehicles. My daily driver is a 1964 c10 and I put...
Nice truck! You got a hell of a good deal. I paid the same for my swb '64 and the front fenders and floor boards are toast. Been driving it daily...
Yup bigger is better for power brakes, but not for manual. You'll want to stay with a 1" bore MC or less for manual brakes so the 15/16 will be...
Yeah no problem, I just went through the same thing with a 327 i'm working on. Hope those gaskets don't leak, they aren't cheap!
[IMG] This picture should clear up any confusion, just lay a straight edge across the pan and measure the depth of the "half moon". 2 3/8"...
Don't want to start another thread on this, but after reading this one, i'm still confused. Is it okay to run a disc/drum MC on a drum/drum car?...
Yeah this is a really good thread. So was the RDT phased out after '67? I'm rebuilding a 1968 327 that has sealed valve covers and just a vented...
Yeah the cream and blue looks killer! Is that Washington Blue?
Great looking truck and photos! Awesome to see another old rig getting used like it should be. Been driving me '64 short fleet every day for 3...
Okay thanks for the lead, did a search and its Ford 1940 Lyon Blue. Cheers.
Damn that thing is gorgeous. Does anybody know the name of the Blue paint they used? Found that it is DuPont paint on the Webb site, but not sure...
Ya no kidding! man you know that off the top of your head!?! Thanks for the info/history lesson on these engines. I have heard of the OD setups...
Yeah this does sound like the way to go. I have the saginaw 4 sp on the floor with granny gear right now, and she revs on the highway! I like the...
Wow, thanks for the info Rude' and Plym49. Looks like I have some serious options to consider here. I definitely like the idea of keeping it...
Thanks for the advice Deuces/TR, I'm gonna do some research on the 151 cam you guys mention and maybe go that route. Good to know. I should've...
Hate to bump a thread from like 4 years ago, but I recently got a stock 1968 327 to replace the 230 in my 64 c10. Would the Edelbrock c4b also be...
okay thanks alot for the info fellas. Sounds like I need to either go back to the rochester or buck up for another one of these carbs and a 2x1...
I just put one of these on my stock 230. Got it from Langdon's, made up a linkage for it and its works pretty good. Idles nice and has decent low...
1964-72 12 bolt rear ends from a 2wd c10 will fit without any mods. 69-72 is 3/4" wider on each end...so the rear end would be 1.5" wider in...
