Wow, I havent checked this thread in two years! Looks good! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I547 using H.A.M.B. mobile app
I have no doubt that he he roof will swap. I just wondered if anybody had done it and could tell what kind of a nightmare it might be.
54 and 55 First Series have one piece windshield and different dash. The bed is different, and obviously the grille. The front fenders are...
So I wiped my truck out pretty bad. Im having trouble coming up with a 54 cab, and mine's toast. I have a 53 cab on a parts truck. My thought is...
My cap looked good, but after checking it doesnt have continuity. Ill try a cap today.

Thanks for all the input. I checked y front pump pressure, it read at 95 psi, so it's good. My high accumulator only read around 50, which is not...
Thanks for the info everybody. Last night, I ran across the linkage that engages the switch pitch. I hooked it up, the trans seemed to run better,...
I've got a 60 LeSabre, 401 and a DynaFlow. At first, the transmission didn't want to pull when cold, but after regular driving that cleared up....
Just got a 60 LeSabre for the wife, building into a mild custom. It's going to bee a sweet ol car for her first classic cruiser. Problem is,...
Temp doesn't affect it. It's totally hit or miss, with the exception of when its been driven. I think you're spot on with it being a priming issue.
Thanks Dave. That makes more sense. Two hours after my original post, the car was started and backed out of the garage without hesitation.
Thanks. I wouldn't have thought that a front pump would be intermittent, but I'm no DynaFlow expert.
I've got a 60 LeSabre, 401 and DynaFlow. The trans pulls good, drives great. But some days, it won't go at all. It may work after idling for a...
I pull my tape when the paint flashes. Every time I've waited any longer, it's bit me in the arse.
You can probably use cylinders from a more common application. As long as the bore size and the stroke are comparable, you can easily make the...
We had a junkyard behind the house growing up. My papaw worked on cars for a living out of the garage at his house next door, and there were...
I rode home from he hospital in a 70 Monte Carlo SS, dad had a 68 F100. Neither are HAMB friendly, but still cool old rides. That was 1985.
My grandfather raced circle track in the 60's. him and three of his friends ran a 32 Ford coupe with a number 74 on the sides. Following that, he...
The trans is the original 3 speed. The tires are 235/75/15 BFG A/T's. so they're about 28" tall. Played with it this morning, dumping second from...
That's the way mine is. Low gearing and skinny all terrain tires don't handle hard shifts very well!
The vehicle is off topic, but the question isn't necessarily. I've got a 1970 C10, SWB stepside. 350, 3 sp manual, Hurst shifter on the floor. The...
Merry Christmas, y'all! Love the video too. Makes me want to get the 54 out and do some donuts!
