I'm ok with the double clutching. I'm mainly interested in an overdrive if I can find a compatible trans.
Funny story: I was searching for parts for my '50 L-122, and I was talking to a guy that had plans to strip down and cut up a '50 L-151 1-1/4 ton....
You are correct Andy, the duals came off an early 60's 1-ton with a 6 lug pattern. The main reason I installed them is that I wanted to get away...

Is there a direct swap trans for these old trucks? If no direct swap, any adapters available? This is for my all original 1950 IH L-122 with a 4...
Here's is an extreme level of shine. While the car is beautiful in every way, the wheels are so shiny they they actual look transparent. It looks...
And this is so cool... The matte black wheel paint shade is perfect too, not shiny. Works 100%... High gloss finish (usually powdercoat) is an...
That's a perfect look. He nailed it, especially with the subtle white paint on the hub caps. Attention to detail. Car is not overdone, which seems...

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've wondered about the different plank widths and thought why not make them all the same. I get it on a regular pickup...

ok - thanks. Looks good. I'm going to get some Ipe boards for my International flatbed truck project below. [img]
How wide is that gap between the boards? I need to calculate my project materials. Also, how thick are these boards you guys are using? The...
Yeah since I'm going to step down from 12v to 6v at the switch, the reverse light will only get 6v as well. I guess I could just run a 6 volt bulb...
I've got my 6V battery on it. I tried to remove the knob, but I don't want to damage this old switch. I plan to convert my truck to 12 volts...
That's what I'm afraid of. Here's the switch. The seller does not know the voltage
I'm working on my old truck and adding a couple of old switches that have a built-in indicator bulb - that's not replaceable. How do I check with...
I got a phenolic spacer from this guy....
You should replace honest with "current" in your title. In Connecticut, it's around $150 per hour
Yeah 6 degrees was the sweet spot for my car. Anything more made it harder to steer. Maybe add some neg camber to tame the wondering at 45 mph....
Hey guys, I want to disassemble by my brake drums & hubs completely. If I knock out the bearing races, can I reinstall them, or do they get...
Sure there are. I've owned several. But, you seem like some type of armchair expert with your comment
Mine? I was looking for a good high nickel 4-bolt, which are hard to find nowadays. The date code on my block is 1969. It's got a forged lg...
I copied the PCV system from a '66 or '67 Vette 327. The PCV valve screws into the oil filler tube, and the cap on it is sealed. Note: Chevy...
