murphy's tire soap. normally used to help a tire bead slip over a wheel.
Ahh, Ill send you a PM
Are you still driving a "G" ride, if so where? The reason I ask is I live in Wy and work similar and just wondering if you were still here...
Some if it depends on how they got the photo. If from the public domain such as a website then it can be difficult. Or if they or someone else...
Nice topic. I too am going to keep it true to COE so will need the answers. Luckily you guys are ahead of me so I will look to you for results.
I am concerned about being outboard too far. If it is too far forward I could easily moved it back and shorten the pitman arm, keeping the...
So I got sidetracked a little. My brothers convinced me to buy an old CJ7 that needed "a little" work. Turns out it has taken most of my...
Still working on the fender. I promise to not post like this for the whole build thread but I'm just kind of learning how to do a little body...
Whittling away at the fender. I think it is going ok considering limited body experience. Obviously still some work to do.[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
Obviously you so great work, but thanks for showing the actual process. It means a whole lot more than just showing what you were able to do. I...
I have been working on a small dent. I have it mostly out but there is still enough of it that I am not satisfied. I cannot quite figure out...
I started my attempt at a small dent on the fender. I do not know what it is that I am doing but it looks pretty decent for my first attempt. I...
The factory wb is 158. The rendering was shortened somewhat. For balance I think it needs shortened a little more but having a long wb where I...
They are 50 fenders, or at least from the same body style. I am still debating tween 22.5 and 19.5 wheels, but probably 22.5.
Started on the fender turn signals. Will probably replace the socket with one for a two filament bulb so I can have running lights and turn...
Structurally it still seems pretty solid. There is no rust through and it does not appear to be weakened at all. After taking care of the rust...
Slight progress. I got the grill, right inner fender and right outer fender off. Most of the bolts broke but it actually saved time because I...
Well a rotted board or two of the bed may have come loose but we were able to notice before they were blown off. Ive seen a lot of these trucks...
I agree. We were actually joking about this once we had it loaded. In fact that's why we added the strap to the visor. I am sure the COE never...
Fasttoys, Looking at your pic that looks like a ton of room above and to the sides of the motor. I have not pulled my floor out yet, I did not...
Got it home this past weekend. Uneventful trip other than being a long drive. Cleaned the truck out and observed a little more rust that I was...
I am considering going with a tilt for most of the same reasons dealing with engine access. I am on the same page as Wolfcreek as far as flexible...
I totally understand the technology upgrades. Suspension and brakes I plan on upgrading regardless. Other than that there doe snot seem to be a...
I have been researching as much as I can before I begin. Too much research according to my wife. It certainly seems that the vast majority of...
Interesting idea. I am wondering why you used pots for voltage differentiation instead of different value resistors. I assume so you could fine...
Amazing. I keep looking at what you were able to do with that fender, not to mention everything else.
The current engine hump is only slightly higher than the rest of the floorboard. Reminds me of the front floorboard area of an older Olds...
50 Chevrolet: I am sure every combination has been tried at one point or another with these, so I am wondering who has attempted to moved the...
I am still working on the plans. In fact I do not even have it home as of yet as it is still parked at another members house (thanks Neb). My...
I hope I have this in the correct spot. I wanted to start a build thread for a recent acquisition. 1950 fresh from the farm. Body wise it is...
