I started making cardboard templates for my 4 link. I am doing a mix of the first design I found and this one. One thing I'm doing different is...
My bigs and littles. I was hoping the rears would be noticeably taller. Oh well. [ATTACH]

I found more parts on marketplace for this beast. A pair of super singles similar to what are on the back of the gray one.[ATTACH] They have the...
I tried clocking the fenders to lower the leading edge and make the rear side flow rearward at a lower angle. Not sure it is an improvement...
This is 5" lower than stock. 255/70r22.5 fills the wheelwell pretty good and still has about 5-6" of uptravel. I should be able to fit the...
Donor frame rails are almost ready to start playing with. Today I'm going to try and mock some pieces up and see what the frame needs to look...
Also,I think I am back to keeping the Seagrave cowl and windshield V and grafting the oshkosh cab roof/ back onto that. If i have to build new...
Collecting parts for my monster 4 links (front and rear suspensions). I'm using off the shelf big truck torque links for the bars. Air bags are...
Summit 1105 is a pretty decent white box cam. In the grand scheme of things, it is still conservative and should do great in your combo. I'm...
How's the car count? Some of the pics make it look like there's plenty of green grass available.
....Most likely marketed by Don Garlits in the 90's.
Still plugging away at harvesting the parts from the motorhome. I did happen to find pics of someone else's project that used a cab that looks a...
How hard was it to adapt the jag knockoffs to a ford axle?
I'm ready for test and tune. It sure launches harder with a 28.5" tall drag radial. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes it is. It just has way too much stuff in it. [ATTACH] the window above the back door came out of a 1920's ford dealership in Tunica, MS. It...
Did I mention that this is going to be a big SOB? 9R22.5 front tires tower over the flatbed on my chevy. [ATTACH]
Would 16x11 Kansas era halibrands make it past the wheel nazies?[ATTACH]
Dad came up with an idea for a dolly to hold the drivetrain parts until we need them....be bolted the front axle to the trailer hitch. Once we...
I've got a set of world sportsman 2 heads that have raised valve cover rails. I think they were designed to be a cheat for classes that require...
My army tank engine had roller rockers in 1953
I guess I need to look into that before I start slicing and dicing stuff. Are we talking dynomat? Or double firewalls and floors? Or something else?
No idea. This is my first diesel. Is it that much worse than a rowdy v8?
This truck cab actually has a mid 50's stewart warner panel in it. So I have something to copy.
Black bezels aren't the problem, it's the square orange and tan graphics on the round gauge faces that make them look like they don't belong.
Free gauges might have to go. These look so much better! [ATTACH]
Would I be wasting this Haneline gauge panel by filling it with 90's motorhome gauges?[ATTACH]
Thanks for the pics. I haven't seen a truck exactly like that.
The closest off the shelf type panel I thought of for a bunch of gauges. This plus a 2 pod under the dash. [ATTACH]
No ignition system to worry about. It is a big turbo diesel with a mechanical injection pump. The Allison transmission is what has my full...
