The car in your avatar has a nearly flat windshield as well, which will contribute a lot of glare. That's part of the reason cars started having...
I picked up a NIB Hobart 210MVP off Craig's List with hood for $600. He had the jacket too, but it was too small. I'd wait out a deal if you...
Wow! Thanks for all the great info in the thread. It looks like with some work it's doable. Unfortunately, I think I was mis-informed. :( I...
I picked up a bunch of parts for my truck a while back, including a T-86 with overdrive. The T-86 is a few years newer than my truck, but out of...
That's got "hot rod suspension" written all over it. :D
Hmm, thanks Jack. It sounds like unless it's pretty much in really good shape, it might just be better for me to find a T98 and a 2.93-3.03 rear...
Thanks for the article link! I will read it over when I get a chance. I was able to find a picture of the actual transmission in question. What...
This is from an International pickup, so safe to assume it is a T89? I actually now remember I had a '68 GMC that had a column-to-floor...
Wow, thanks for all the info! I'm not sure which one it is specifically, but the T85 would make sense. This supposedly came out of a truck,...
So, what do you guys know about old '50's (I guess) 3-speed manuals with solenoid overdrives? My truck originally came with a 4-speed floor shift...
Those meters, for using on cars checking voltage and stuff, are actually pretty accurate. There have been several people that have tested the...
Parkrose is the best. We're in CO now and I haven't found a replacement. Used to go into the Vancouver one all the time. The nice thing is,...
In Denver the 3-car houses are few, and they go REALLY fast. We bought south of Denver in March, and it was the perfect time as prices have...
That was my first thought.. but who knows.
Since you guys are in CO, there are a couple '47-48 KBs on CraigsList for $1500 with titles--for the pair. Probably some good parts.
Somebody had to bid against that person to get the bid that high. If you just forget the decimal, it will just go to the next price level. So, I...
Is this the HAMB? LOL. I must be on the wrong site!
Corn-based fuels is extremely inefficient. Partly, how much fuel is actually used up in creating the corn-based fuels (even E10). I believe in...
Check Google Images. It's a thing.
I'm looking to see if someone may be headed this route, but it's probably a long shot. I live just south of Denver, but could meet someone in...
How thin? What about Rotopax and some ingenuity? It's probably a bad idea, but they are thin.
It's a pretty good schematic. My personal preference would be to add a relay in for the headlights, and leave the headlight switch to only switch...
I personally would probably go with something a little higher than the $5 6-circuit block you can buy at an auto store, but there are a lot of...
Oh... I just need a bigger ego! :p
My personal opinion is, these trucks look best restored stock or pretty traditional. I've seen exactly one so far that had modern(ish) wheels...
I just cut a truck to pieces for parts for one of mine. I admit, as the magnetic picky-upper smashed the windshield and dragged it off our...
You could use a capacitor that charges while the battery is on, and keeps the memory when it's off. you might need a fairly large one if the car...
So very true! :p It also says if you do use solder, it must be fixed/supported. They want you to minimize vibration of the joint. In...
Solder is better than crappy crimps, and I've heard people suggest it if all you can make are crappy crimps. But, those people also recommend...
I wouldn't mind going, maybe even looking at some of the 4-door cars (I have two other projects), but I can't imagine they won't go anywhere in my...
