Now we're talkin!
You're not wrong, it defeats the purpose all together. Admittedly I did use them to not have to buy a reamer, the easy way out so to speak. I'm...
All I can say is, I wish I just did bushings.....I may go back to them. Seemed like such a great idea hahahaha.......oh well live and learn.
They are the problem, it didn't shimmy at all with bushed kingpins.
Sounds easy enough, Thanks!
41 ford, stock front axle with raised cross member and split wishbone. I thought I would be fancy and install needle bearing king pins. Had a...
Yes, that's exactly how I do mine.
Thanks. Out of stock, like all the others I've found. Seems strange, I guess I'll just buy ones for a pickup and try.
I am just trying to find our which brackets/rods I could use to have interior sun visors. I'm not sure why but I cannot find any for a 41-48...
So are you saying all these have the same screw layout? Sorry I just don't understand what you're saying here.
I'm talking about the interior sun visors. I agree the exterior visor looks cheezy.
Question- are the pickup and closed car visor brackets the same? I think mine may have been inadvertently thrown out....they were rotted junk but...
Keep us updated, looks to be like a really cool project. I am thinking about doing something similar with an old chevy ton and a half.
here's a better pic[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It actually is a T5. The bellhousing is removable. The nv1500 is a one piece case, this is not. From a 95 s10 so the last year of the t5.
Yep sure does. All I need is the adapter to ford pattern T5 and I'm golden! Well, almost. A little more to do but not a whole lot. Different disc,...
Well here's my T5. The deal was I had to take the 2.2 with it. For 100 bucks I said no problem! Going to mate it up to the 216 and see how she...

That's kinda what I'm thinking. It's hard to give up on the 216 when it's original and still runs good. I just hope it will pull itself in high gear!
Well, I went and picked up the 1954 235 from my brother. It is a block with internals, the head bolted on but the head is totally bare. No valves,...
The gas pedal on my 48 3600 has a weird thing going on. It is hard to feather, you have to use quite a bit of force to get it to "break over"....
Last tabbed in 05, so I believe you're right!
OK figured it out. The 3/4 gear wouldn't slide, it was froze up. Penatrating oil and hammer taps got it moving again. Just had to line up the...
Thanks for all that information. I really appreciate the help
Going to finish my coffee and head out. Going to pop the cover and I'll get pics if I don't see anything obvious. One thing is, I really don't...
It shifts fine in the 1/2 gate, move it over to grab 3rd and it won't go past neutral. Same with 4th gear. Tomorrow I will pull the top plate off...
It doesn't move over to the 3/4 gate
I still can't figure this thing out. Will the locating pins on the top of the tower make it not shift if they are worn out? These aren't even...
I fixed the miss! Pulled the valve cover and ran the engine. Intake pushrod on the dead cylinder was spinning like a top. Like 5 times faster than...
Am I blind? Or is there really no repop fuel tanks for a 48 chev 3600, original under bed mount??? Mine is rotted out. If there isn't any...
