Guilty!
Its like Iron Maiden at 8 grand.:D
Can't agree more; my avatar, with the big block, 4 speed and 3:73 geared 9" but original brakes was a blast to drive up to 100 mph+, but trying to...
Thats badass!
Man thats cool your truck made it into a magazine. Is it faster in the quarter mile with the Powerglide?
Nice headlights!:D
I wooda bought one.
Looks great! That paint is awesome! How does it drive?
Those FMX's are heavy s.o.b.s with that cast iron housing and a p.i.t.a. to rebuild. Kudo's for rebuilding it and making it work!:D
Major improvment!
I gotta agree, haven't been here as much as I'd like to be but 27 different versions of wheels ain't the most exciting thing in the world. That...
I was wondering about this car a couple weeks ago. Good to see you got it running!
Used half a pair of worn out wire strippers for the turn signal handle in my avatar. Some people thought I had a Klein turn signal switch.:D
There was a junkyard in Suffolk Va called Matthews, near the Portsmouth/Chesapeake airport. My buddies and I practically lived there late '70s to...

As long as you can hammer that clutch when you need to...
Nice! Looking fowrd to your project. Are you going to put the v8 in it?
I found the HAMB in 2008, joined right away, (think I'm # 11,700 something) and loved it ever since. Caught my share of crap (mostly deserved) but...
'56 F100, but then, I might be a little biased...:D[ATTACH]
Adjustimated. Beautiful car! What engine did he have in it? [ATTACH]
This pic just reminded me, we got the 292 out of a '57 Ford the same day Reagan got shot, heard it on the news riding home from the junkyard.
All thats left of mine, dunno where its at, still got the decanter box in the other room tho[ATTACH]:rolleyes:
Holy cow, TWO teapots! Bet you said a bad word or ten working on these!:D
At least you didn't have that front crossover pipe like I did, burned the crap out of myself more than once!:confused::D
Love the sound of that old flathead!
Definately a step up, they sound great with headers and glasspacks. Not only that, but it will be way more fun when you hit the loud pedal.:D
Just read this thread all the way thru. What a great project! The pictures brought back so many memories of doing my avatar though your truck is...
What engine are you installing?
If that!
