The Jalopy Journal
Since I'm stuck in a Winter for the ages, I'm trying to do a little planning for when the snow melts in June. Got a '39 Pontiac with broken lug...
Only way to get answers is to ask, so here it is: what's the track-width of a 1940/41 Ford pickup? same question for '42-47 Ford? both...
I've got a chance to get a '49-51 Pontiac fastback, but need to put wheels on it. I have a '49-54 chevy chassis available for the lug nuts. Are...
This chassis was under my '47 Ford sedan body. I'm trying to ID what year it is from. I'm thinking Chevy, as it has a 115" WB.
I'm considering buying the Fisher body and construction manual for 1939-40 all models (Greg's Automotive). Can anyone tell me what's involved...
This link was posted on FTE, and after a search here, I didn't find it, so I thought I'd post it....
My '62 was an automatic, and I'm looking to convert to a floor shift toploader, though not with a stock bellhousing, it's a 70's truck type bell,...
I've got one from a '74 F100 sitting around, and I've thought about using it for something. But I'd hate to put it behind a big torque/high HP...
Long story short, I thought I had a 254 I6 from a '49 or '50 F6 (truck long gone, just pulled the engine and T98 trans, vin matched 254, etc...)...
Anyone ever done it? I've always wanted an MEL, and one fairly local popped up on CL. It's a '61, but at least it comes with the tranny and rear...
Looking at this '47 Ford, and the car comes with a Nova clip, though to me it looks unfinished. I'd rather go MII or stock if I could, but if the...
I have me a 1939 Pontiac with the longer WB. I'm wondering what hoods will fit this, since mine didn't come with one. Would a Buick or Olds be...
Anyone weigh the before and after of a boxed pickup frame? (6x2.25" C-channel type 10 gauge) I've been considering just using rectangle tube,...
I'm wondering if there's anything chassis builders use to document everything.... or is it all just jotted down on napkins and such? I'm...
Got a lead on a '39 Poncho body 2dr coupe. No frame. :rolleyes: Anywho, I wonder if the other GM frames will work? (Buick, Olds, Chevy) Or what...
My Fairlane never came with an engine or transmission, nor does it have the engine mount brackets. I'm looking to gas class this car down the...
Looking through the '64/65 Comet drag car thread, the Falcon A/FX thread, and the Thunderbolt picture thread, I see some of them run a basic...
Does anyone have a diagram or picture showing a size comparison between the two? Mainly looking at the motor mount location for future interchange.
So I stripped an old '49 F6 which had a 254cid I6 and T98 transmission. The 254 is spoken for, for my other F6, but the T98 will be a spare. I...
Let's say I have a 27" long piece of sheet metal for an inner fender I want to use, but also want to put two bead rolls in it for strength. One...
First of all, I'm currently on a really tight budget, but I do have an F1 axle, spindles, drums, etc... and hope to put it under my '62 fairlane...
Seen these pics here: http://www.donshotrodpage.net/Bonneville/index.htm With respect to the original photographer. But was curious to getting...
I stopped in at a field up the road from me and spotted this. I found 1 pic on the web of a Plymouth with the same front grille, which was a...
Cut and pasted this from another forum. It refers to Canada, but has anyone heard of legislation in the U.S.? Catch the wave. Be prepared. The...
Hi all, These two cars are parked up the road from me, and was wondering if anyone could help ID the make, model, and year. I figure the left one...
I have one. Thinking I'd like to find 3 more.[IMG]
even though I've already hit over 100 posts, I never intoduced myself, lol. Anyhow, I started on a '48 F1, have a couple KB-2's (IH) in the...
