Just came across this picture. I dig this color combo, and I think it's look pretty good with the red and white interior I have. [ATTACH] Photo...
That's a good looking truck! The red and white interior my truck has is growing on me and I’d like to pick something that goes well with it. My...
I'm thinking about maybe painting the body and box a gray color, maybe something like the Ford Medium Gray Tractor paint. Then leaving the...
whew. that's a lot of thinking. Subscribed!
Thanks Leon. I haven't spent very much time looking into what it'll cost to build a flathead V8 at this point. My HOPE is that the one I have is...
If you were to decide that you wanted to go from your reversed eye springs back to stock for some reason I bet I know a guy who'd trade you a set...
Thanks Dan! I'm pretty happy this truck 'fell' into my lap. I wasn't in search of another project, that's for sure. I've continued to read the...
Thanks HRP! That truck is perfect. That's pretty much what I'm shooting for!
I was trying to pick crud out from between the spring eye and the axle with my pocket knife, and wasn't actually able to slide the whole blade...

I got the carb popped apart last night and have it soaking. I think the last time that carb had motor in it was before they had decided to put...
Good thought. I have a (motorcycle) carb in the crab-pot that needs to come out tonight. I'll get that pulled out and get this one put in! I...
Yeah, hooking up jumper cables and praying for the best isn't happening on this motor (although I have successfully done it on others in the...
Turns out I hadn't hit "GO" on my book order. I thought it was supposed to show up Saturday and was wondering where it was. Still in my cart!...
what would be the disadvantage of getting 'all' your rear drop from extended shackles? For example a 5" eye-to-eye shackle, vs. 2" eye-to-eye...
This here is the thread I had found on reversing the eyes:...
from farther down in your thread I see the answer to at least one of my questions: ↑ What is the advantage of using '41 rear shackles? They are...
Ok, so here's what I'm getting from your thread Neal: Front: "That's a stock front crossmember, a 2-1/2" Mor-Drop 33-36 axle, 7 leaves in a...
Pineapple, I like the stance of your car. What did you do to lower it?
I only have a 32" inseam, so my legs are probably on par with 1930's men. My height is all in my torso. So cutting a bit out of the seat bottom...
I was in Montezuma Iowa a few weeks ago, I wish I'd have had the invite then! :)
Gotcha. Thanks for the varying info & opinions! I think that based on the fact that I HAVE a '32 firewall I'll probably stick with it. Is there a...
....and I didn't know they didn't use steel in 33/34! ;)
If I were to use the 33/34 firewall would I also be able to use a steel floor pan insert like this one?...
Thanks Charlie & Pete! Is the '33/'34 firewall something I'm going to find at a swap meet? Do I specifically need a truck firewall, or are all the...
I really need to sort out the wheels to see what I have. The ones on the truck are all 16” I believe. And all the same size tires, but I think...
Not a great picture, but I also came home with 22 assorted wheels. Looks like I will be able to choose between big-n-little or whatever. [ATTACH]...
Good evening gents, I have some more pics of parts that came in my kit. This front axle looks to have the drag link attached to the passenger...
I will continue to work on getting the banger free’d up and can probably use it on another project at some point, but the V8 is already free and...
That guy on the trailer is my buddy. Although I’m 6-foot 235 he’s about 20% bigger than me in every way! I had a Boxster for a while and he...
