Thanks. Any idea where I can find a hand crank?
Is there a special tool to do this or maybe a better way? I want to make sure this is a good engine before buying new parts for it and finding out...
Cool project. I'm a big fan of the LS engines. They're great in anything.
Finished tacking up the rest of it, now just need to weld and grind. [IMG] [IMG]
I got a little bit done today. I pulled off the fenders so I had better access for the firewall and for when I put the motor in. I really didn't...
After not touching the car for almost two months I did some work on it tonight. I made some new floor pans and started smoothing the firewall(of...
I got this 54 a few months ago to do some custom stuff with. My 57 is a little too nice to modify so I figured I can do whatever I want with this...
Thanks! That's just what I was looking for.
Yeah, I see all kinds of stock replacement or pre made floor pans. But I can't find someone who bent it by hand.
Has anyone hammered out their own floor pans? I started on one today and I don't like the way it turned out. I'm no body man(yet) so I'd like to...
After reading my Cadillac service manuals from 54 and 57 I'm just wondering if anyone has these tools they list in here. Such as J-1693 a front...
I broke a front leaf spring mount on my '52 3/4 ton truck. I found another one for sale, but I'm not sure if it's from a 3/4 ton or 1/2 ton. I do...
It has the driver's door, hard to see in the pictures though.
Cool. How much do you think it's worth? Has The front suspension with it. Looks like it was a 4 door that was cut off after the b pillar.

Thanks, but my car is FAR from cherry. haha. Just looks good in these pictures.
Okay, actually 3 Cadillacs. Under the cover is a 61 Coupe DeVille. [IMG]
Took this picture while I was sitting around at the shop at 2am. Figured I'd post it up. The one on the left is a '54 Fleetwood the one on the...
Well turns out this may not be a real dually then. It's a 3/4 ton for sure. 125" wheel base and 8 lugs all around. I just took a closer look at...
Similar to that one, but it's a 3/4 ton not a 1 ton. and has an 8ft bed. The wheels are different. As in they mount different, not a different...
Not right now, But I'll get one up later. It's an old farm truck, still has the lettering on the doors. Was converted to a 283/4 speed some time...
Wouldnt that be too big? The frame is about the size of an S10 frame.
I have a 52 Chevy 3/4 ton Dually I'd like to use as a tow rig. Just not exactly sure what to do with the suspension/brakes. The trailer it would...
[IMG] there's a picture of the engine for now.
No problem. I'll see if I can get some more pics up soon. I need to do some painting first. The guy who built the 390 didn't paint it very well...
Thanks, but I am not kidding. That box looks nothing like this one, so probably served a completely different purpose. And honestly I don't have...
This was mounted on the core support of a 54 caddy that's in my shop. The wire wasn't attatched to anything. [img] [img]
Here's my '57 Coupe DeVille. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] The 390/700r4 is getting installed as soon as I paint the engine bay. After that the body work...
I need to know the width of the bed on a '37 Ford truck. I don't have the bed and will be making a frame soon. I need to know what rear end to go...
That's not so bad.
