Not a truck update, but just an update.... I'm still alive, but with this recent home purchase 200 miles away, still unpacking and organizing...
Thanks Billy, more updates will come soon once the dust has settled at the new place. One of the perks of this relocation is that it's in my...

Yes, there are aftermarket replacement chrome and black painted front & rear bumpers from Classic Industries. I was thiiiiiiiiiiisssss close to...
I've tried the car tv shows. Too much made up drama. 30 minute episode has 5 commercial breaks. They always have the "perspective" shot where one...
I'm moving the final load to the new house this weekend. All of this stuff will go into storage and be forgotten about for the foreseeable future,...
Here's some pics of the house I bought. It's a 1965 Mid Century Ranch 3/2/2 with a wrap around driveway and an additional 400sqft outbuilding that...
Thanks, yes, it's a long drawn out process, but eventually it'll pay off. I wish I wasn't so indecisive and such a procrastinator, but the two go...
No truck updates. I just bought my first house and am in the process of relocating my stuff as I type this. The '56 will be loaded up and hauled...
Congrats! I'm about 50% packed up, myself. On Monday I'll start the back and forth of loading and emptying my 2 trailers over the next few weeks....
bttt
Incredible work and attention to detail. Can't wait to see this progress.
Rostra is a brand that the OE uses, or used to at least. The cruise control system on my 2001 Tacoma is a dealer-installed Rostra, and back in the...
True, but they're cheap and plentiful at junkyards. The Silverados and Tahoes have dual 16" brushless PWM fans in a plastic 1-piece shroud. If you...
I'd use a 2017 Silverado PWM Brushless 16" Fan and a stand alone PWM fan controller.
Never really had a "cruising" scene. In my high school days (mid 90's) we had various spots around town to hang out on Friday or Saturday nights,...
Bump, $600 takes all 4 doors and the hood, I don't want to move it.
I've found that Muriatic Acid followed by a thorough rinse then sand & primer works better than anything else I've tried. I don't like using it...
Looks like Max & Elmer Reichenbach were Midget & Roadster racers/builders out of Illinois
:cool: [ATTACH]
Fatman sold a lot of their stuff to another company or companies. See below, direct from Fatmanfab.com.... Unfortunately, Fatman Fabrications...
Yeah, they cost a fortune nowadays, and if you told me back then how much a clean original FC3S would be worth today, I'd laugh in your face. My...
I have Holley EFI with the bluetooth module that uses any tablet as a digital dash and handheld tuner and can show up to 32 active gauges at once.
Most shock manufacturers have a detailed list of all of their shocks with the top and bottom mount styles, and compressed and extended lengths,...
I had a base '86 RX-7 in high school, and later an '87 RX-7 Turbo II that I eventually sold to fund my first Model A in 2003. They were fun cars,...

Depends what you're wanting in the end, what your budget is, & what your skill set is... I like to buy cars that run & drive, but need some...
Sounds like more work than it's worth. I'd just pull the engine with the converter bolted up and move on with it.
Looks like the plates read '51, so I think you're spot on. How rad was it to have a blown drag car in 1951?!!
Use the port at the top rear of the drivers side cylinder head.
Separate names with a comma.
