I am in Fairbanks but will be on a road trip to the States during that time. I will find out if there are any shows going on then. Most of the...
Just FYI, I can get marine vinyl at the local craft store for about $6 a yard when it goes on sale.
Yep
I plan on putting a round tank in my ride. The problem in the fuel gauge will not be linear. It will not read correctly at the top or bottom...
This work looks good. Next time put a link in your post back to the original so we know what we are looking at.
I have done this, but I have not run it yet. I reamed out the axle to the larger kingpin diameter. Everything went together good. I am not sure...
I like it. I have never seen an arched rear spring used like that before.
If they register 0 ohms that means the bulbs are burned out, a filament will have a resistance, that is how they work.
I work on heavy equipment, they have 6 computers in them. When we weld we turn the master switch off, just disconnect the battery, and place the...
When I pulled th motor on a 53 I just unbolted the cup looking thing that bolts to the rear of the trans. The motor and trans slid out the front.
Looks good.
How about the Buick I8. I would be in for two sets for the mid size 263. Would the intake and exhaust be separate or one piece. I would prefer...
Do the C4 and the C6 share the same speedo drive? I need to put one in my 55 Ford Customline with a c6.
When I recovered the seats on my 55 Ford the covers were meant to go over the original upholstery too. We just added enough foam that it took up...
Check this out http://gamma.nic.fi/%7Emarlin/august01.htm If putting a manual back in, the bell housing can be modified to accept it.
I know exactly what you are going through. I live in Alaska and trying to get some people to ship here is a pain in the ass. On the other hand I...
Here is what you need. Spend the money on tools so you can do it again. [img] This one on on ebay. I did my axle but a kingpin would be...
5/8 tap tube from Lefthander Chassis. It is 7/8 OD. It takes a 5/8 NF tap with no drilling, works well when you don't have access to a lathe.
How much was his tie rod material. I bought some from Lefthander Chassis at $3.00/ft. But shipping was as much as the tube. I got 5/8 tap tube.
Here are the pics, I used a wheel bolt circle guide to drill the hubs and drums at the same time. [img] [img]
I don't understand your problem. Just move your new hole over and down to clear the existing holes. I will go take a picture of the pair I just did.
I put switches on the ceiling attached to my lights that operate each light individually, along with the main wall switch. This way in the summer...
The axle is a 47 so I could have just got the right bearings and used the backing plates and drums on this axle. the reason I did it this way is...
Here are the pics, it is fairly self explanatory. [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] This is the axle I got the spindles off of....
I have done this as well. I am not on the road yet. I reamed the axle out to fit the larger kingpin. Everything lined up great once the kingpin...
A buddy of mine just put a banger motor in his 36 truck. When he got it, it was configured for aircraft use. It was mounted upside down and...
When you had them out to clean them, did you take them apart or just clean the outside? When I got my Buick someone had taken all the lifters...
Using some lumber and plastic sheeting you can make a tank of any size.
Do it. I have a k-5 and drive the crap outa it during the summer. Though mine does not look nearly that good and have a dump box on the back.
I insatalled what I believe to be a mid fifties Ford truck spindles to my 47 Ford axle. I had to ream out the kingpin on the axle. I would have...
