You should post up more pics of this in the 35-37 Fprd PU thread. I would love to see more pics.
I would imagine that you would have to do a batch to make it worthwhile.
I would look into 3 Printing and then have one cast from that.
Rochesters definitely.
I can't remeber what I have posted on this thing.....I am with HRP. I love Bluegrass. Billy Strings has been my go to lately.

Jeeps, full size Ford trucks 1/2 ton
Yeah, if anyone doubts that, get on IG and look at the thousands of folks posting their pic with Gene and he always was smiling with thumbs up.
My favorite, but everyone figured that....
I would like to do each wheel independently. That gives me more usable data.
Nice. That would be cool.
Mine is full fendered, sbc with an auto. Just trying to see how much weight is on the rear.
Just wondering if anyone knows the weight distribution on a 35-37 Ford pickup with a sbc?
My boss owns a sign shop side business. I called him last night to see if his cnc router would do aluminum. He said no problem, so I will have...
I would like to make a custom plate engraved or milled with a relief carving. Would a guy need to hire a cnc machinist to do this or what would be...
I get it, I'm getting there...........nah never mind.;)
I dunno. I bought the high dollar shocks. It helped, but still...man it drives a man to drink. For 30 years I used the stock axle and it wasnt...
I already have.
I had ElPolacko (Steve) build me a crossmember and a set of tubular control arms with the heavier duty Dodge Dakota ball joints.
It's a brand new set of Posies Reversed eye on 4" drop CE axle. No room to go any lower.
I figured if I could get close, I could experiment. The good thing is the springs are fairly cheap, so I wouldn't be saddled with a life long regret.
My 35 just jars your teeth when you hit the expansion joints. With this next build I want to avoid that. I wonder about tire size also. I have...
I have been driving my old straight axle this week and it rides pretty harshly. I decided to put a M2 in my next project and I would like to...
The stock Caddy rod journal is 2.250". It had a 6.625 " length. A BBC rod is 2.200" and 6.135". That's what most guys retrofit in the 390. If...
If you turn it, do you have to heat treat it or anything?
Yeah, that's .125". I can see that.
That's true, the 365 was upgraded to a 390 and they changed configurations in 1963. With the new 390 and the distributor moved up front. That...
That's probably true. I noticed in one of the articles published in HRM they did a rebuild on a 390 Caddy and they did a bunch of crap to it, cam,...
It's more a rhetorical question really. I am always interested in what the guys did back in the glory days of racing. It's probably cost...
Not for a 390 Cadillac you won't. They usually use the BBC rods, which is quite a bit longer. Still has to be narrowed. Not sure it would be...
