I'm using an early Ranger seat. Look for one without the head rests. I had to make the mount for it as a Ranger mounts much lower than a F1. I...
I've found old folks and kids think my truck is pretty cool. Thumbs up and such. I let kids sit in it if they're polite. I find I'm invisible to...
The grill on my F1, valve covers, engine brackets. Works great. Also great on billet parts to make them look like steel. Posted using the Full...
Was looking at autolocs at a shop years ago. The salesman told me in hushed tones not to buy them, they'd had lots of trouble with them. He said...
We were just there last week on vacation. Father in law lives 5 minutes away at Fine Lake so we go every time we're there. You'll need all day or...
Not an oil expert, but I've switched every thing I own to synthetic. They start much better in cold weather, no problems with seals leaking. Of...
I'm a few miles east of choptvan. I've got friends from the evac area staying with me for a few days. Chickens in the back of the pickup, a goat...
I couldn't find a good spot for mine, and I didn't want to hack the dash, so it's under the dash. Below the dash, to the right of the steering...
Yeah, it was Indian Larry who made frames that way. He also used chain with the links welded together as the frame for the bike he died on. Never...
Check out: Chubb, Grundy, Hagerty, CHROME/Anpac, American Collecters, Hagerty. Several have online premium calculators so you can easily compare....
I had the same problem. Bought an early block to rebuild and swap into my 85 burb. I noticed the same dipstick problem if I used the stock exhaust...
Mid 70's dodge pick up with a v8 engine. There are two widths, the 22" and a 26 or so. You need the 22" wide. I'm using one on my F1 with a SBC....
I've used both por 15 and chassis saver with excellent results. My nasty old battery box in my F1 was cleaned up at home, just degreased and...
Is the motor still in the car? If so, speedi sleve it. I would only look at welding it if the motor's apart.
Cliff Ruggles has a good qjet book out. He also sells parts and offers throttle shaft rebushing. He's got a web site at cliffshighperformance....
The stock bar is kind of weeny, only 3/4". I understand the xjs, the two door coupe, has a larger bar. Same chassis. I think it's either 7/8 or...
You married well.
Group 24 top post here. Go with something common and easily replacable on the road.
When I bought a can I had to ask the clerk for it. They keep it under the counter because it's like model glue and they don't want kids sniffing...
That's still a very popular size, but not in a white wall. Ford started using it on taurus's in the late '80s until recently, and several mid size...
Wow. Makes us looks like a bunch of sissies. No fat men there. I took a tour of a silver mine a few years ago. All hand drilling of the rock for...
A few years ago I stopped at Streamline auto in Denver, before they closed. I was looking at the autoloc bear claw door latches. One of the sales...
Kevin, I forgot to send the pics of my truck with the jag ifs. Just sent. Feel free to post them.
I've got one of the capillary tube thermostats with the adjustable relay. Summit, jegs, derale, etc all sell the same unit for under $30. My...
Another vote for the jag. I'm using one and I'm very happy with it. Installed in one weekend, bolted in. Much cheaper than a mii kit and gives a...
I moved mine all the way to the pass side on my F1 to keep access to the vent and handle. The flexible ducts do block some of the air from the...
It seems to me that working with the frame you've got would be easier than swapping all the sheet metal over. If you MII it, the motor mounts will...
What Dane said. I just had a vortec intake leaking oil from the lifter valley. Couldn't figure out why the exhaust sounded funny untill it started...
It seems that every time I ask an experts opinion, and it's different from mine, the expert is wrong. Carbs, paint, motor building, it doesn't...
We all hate them. Get rid of it. Bring it to my house and I'll throw it away for you.
