The Jalopy Journal
I have 62 Chevy C10 and did spindles and brakes from CPP 10 years ago. The cross member swap is better from most aspects (cost of ball joints...
Just a guy with a garage. If you need something welded or fab'ed in the Ogden area give me a call, I might be able to help you out. I am in East...
3M N95 #8214 disposable filters are designed to deal with stainless steel fumes from welding. May also be good choice for primer fumes, but...
I just found this thread this morning. Read thru the whole thing. Very nice. Did you use self-tapping screws into the tubing to hold the bed...
Thanks for the replies. I will nab a can of acetone at Ace and see if I can get this thing let go. I was concerned about using heat due to...
Black RTV. Thought about torch, but guess I should use a plumbers propane torch. Making this all the more difficult are two threaded studs...
Maybe it should have read "evil RTV won't let go of my adapter" . Anyway, T-18 with 3/4" aluminum adapter was RTVed on by previous owner. I hate...
You did the right thing switching the blocks back, but I may have missed it, do you still have the overheat issue after switching back? As for...
C-10 Simplex has it right. Do yourself a hugh favor and take a class. Took one while I was unemployed. I gas and stick welded for years, but no...
A friend had a '64 back in high school in the late '70's. He did manage to roll it (ala Ralph Nader). Later, maybe '67 and later, had better rear...
I know nothing about those wheels, but a quick search shows that they came on 1935/36 Chevy Master Series trucks. I used Google Image search and...
BTW - that original rearend with the drop out pumpkin is an Eaton H-033 IIRC. I had one in my '62 C-10. Really cool rearend, but weak axles,...
If it is still on the engine stand, just turn it on it's side. Might drop out on it's own, or might get it near enough to hole for vacuum to work.
Go to Sportsmans Warehouse in Ogden (or SLC if you must) and take a look at the Bushnells in the $75.00 - $90.00 range. They are very decent...
I used Cratex too, as others have suggested. Also, used a piece of 3/4" plywood with a 1x2 fence attached. Eyeballed each pass and reset platform...
Not saying this is your problem, but it sounds sorta similar to something I experienced a few years ago on a fresh rebuild. The engine would...
If all else fails, you can always try Arc Master just of a Beach St in Fort Worth. They know a good deal about the older, larger commercial...
Thank you for your replies. Since St. Goerge is little far, I called Larry in Ogden area. Very nice guy. He asked to see the seat before giving...
Ok, i search the Utah group and no real luck. Can anyone recommend a good upholsterer in the Layton - Ogden area ? Thanks, Tony
Sorry, meant to say he will teach one-on-one outside of school.
Call Mr. Credicott at TCC south campus. He heads up the welding school. I know that he will teach someone, one-on-one. He knows his stuff.
You probably have new hose on yours, but I have had problems before with the fuel hose from the tank to the metal line. A break from dry rot is...
I built my own detached garage back in 1993. My lot size forced me to build narrow and long. The buidling is 16x24with 8 foot walls. It is very...
I have welded since the late 70's (just for myself) both stick and gas). While unempolyed all of 2009, I took the Miller/Hobart tig class at the...
I have had exhaust leaks that made quite a noise. Get the drop in gaskets from Fel-pro. They are 3 peices per side. Fix the exhaust leak first,...
I had a spun rod bearing on a 350. Pulled the pan and pieces were laying in the bottom. Noise was constant and very loud (idle or not). Try...
Don't know if it helps, but there is a "How to Build a Hot Rod" book by Parks that has a chapter on tank construction. I would suggest keeping...
How timely. I just got offered a set of F-1 spindles and I wasn't sure if they would go on the '40 Ford axle that I already have.
Maybe this will help, there is an expoded view towards the bottom: http://www.donzig.com/vertex.html Tony
