I have worked on both sides and applied a fair amount of heat. Instead of renting a tool ,I ordered the tool. Either I will join ranks with those...
That is very nice. Way better than the pos I tried to make. Good job.
Yep, post em. My homemade puller, I thought, was the shit for doing this. Turned out to be plain old shit, and a waste of time. I'm curious as...
Heated pressure washer. Works great. Maybe rub it with a dryer sheet?
I am in western Colorado. Car guys are few and far between compared to, say, environmentalist wackos. The brakes are backed off and not...
Damn, I hate putting that much heat to it. I have put the heat to them already, not that much though... I have pretty much nothing to lose at...
Tried again today using another homebuilt version of the KR whatever puller from a tech thread I found here. All was going well until I started...
I have tried heat and hammers on the taper, maybe I should hit it harder. That happened to me last time I pulled one of these. It was with the...
Your first pic is just like the one I broke. (but newer). The KR Wilson seems really expensive, but all reviews pretty much say "after I tried...
[IMG] [IMG] Here it is btw. I guess the hammer is it. Thanks for the thread tech, that is an excellent idea.
I left the nut on just in case of thread damage. (the first couple have already been damaged) Man I hate to really get too hard on it with the...
The nut is about 2 turns loose in the pic. Wish it was that easy. At max pull with any method, the washer was easy to turn with bare fingers....
I have been working on this for a week, and they will not come off. This is a "barn find" car that had a minor engine fire a looong time ago. I...

For anyone doing more stuff like this, I put some pics of my original wood subrails here
Some pics with measurements of my original subrails. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Just found this thread. Amazing work. I used 1.5 x 3 for the subrails and 1x3 for the rear kickup. Please keep us updated.
This is a shot from the underside of the subrail outside of the frame. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] looking down into the rocker panel...
I used 1.5 x 3 inch tubing for the main part of the subrails, not 2x3 as stated in JefferyJames post. It was the closest dimensionally to the...
FWIW I wanted an 8 lug setup on my 54 F250. I found everything these guys have already said. So, since the spindles are the same as a F100, I...
I used the Speedway 915-112424 - 112, .465 / .465 etc in the .030 350 in my 54 F250. The Quadrajet needs a little tuning, but the Performer...
FWIW the 350 I just put in my 54 didn't oil the right side for about 20 minutes. The rockers were loose - valve clatter - but once it pumped up...
Here's what I made for my 31 [IMG]
Show more pics including some of the interior wood replacement if you have some. I have done most of mine and am always interested in how other...
My experience with a late model Blazer is that you quickly get used to cruzing around 2000 rpm +/- in overdrive. NONE of my carbureted vehicles...
I used a 700r4 in my 54 F250 for the last 4 years and about 15k. It worked ok but I hated the split between 2-3. I use my truck as a truck,...
