I think I'll go with the copper. Heard it promotes better heat transfer between the manifolds and heads which helps preventing warping. o_O
I am mating iron exhaust manifolds to iron heads on a Ford 460 and can't decide whether to use an SCE embossed copper gasket or a Fel-Pro laminate...
Thanks for the input guys. So I poured in another quart of ATF, bringing it up to just past max full on the dipstick. I also changed the...
Yea it did get on the belt some. I have a GM serpentine belt drive system with a tensioner.
700R4 behind a TBI 350 in my '64 C10. Transmission was a new unit from Phoenix Transmission a few years ago. Great unit, been very happy with it....
Chrysler Deep Water Blue
I talked to the owner who promptly said it was a mistake and is crediting me back the difference. [ATTACH]
Well, $50k has come and gone... and the truck still isn't done. It's just funny because I keep thinking it'll be finished by the next time I go...
Great idea, thanks.
Plan is to maintain and daily it actually.
I wish it were. It'll be $50k by the time I'm out of there.
Wish we could have connected when I was hunting for a shop, Sinister Sleds!
Here are a few pics of the Oklahoma donor truck/body: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It was a nice, straight, farm truck. A gem compared to my New...
I'm gonna have $50,000 into just the body and paint of a 1964 F100 pickup truck... fifty. thousand. dollars. Hence my original inquiry. Might be...
Thanks for the feedback guys. You're right Bob, it is "time and material" at this shop. That was established up front. No estimate could or would...
Ok yea, not sure what I was expecting. This shop is cranking away on my truck. Gotta pay to play huh!
I wonder if I'm getting ripped off or if this is normal practice. I took my F100 to a small body shop for final body work and paint. They charge...
Here's another design. Tacky? [IMG]
This is what the rest of the interior will look like (disregard the seat in this pic): [IMG]
I'm building a '64 F100 and can't decide on a bench seat design, so I photoshopped two options and would love to know what you guys think. The...
Anyone know of any exceptional auto body shops in the NH / MA area? I finished the chassis and drivetrain for my '64 F100 and it's now ready for...
Track width is to wide to look right in these old trucks.
Negative. Both inboard and to front of axle. I don't think Ford went to staggered shocks in their pickups until just recently! It's my...
Let me ask you guys this - is it better to run shocks outboard the frame, but on the same side of the axle or inboard the frame, but staggered?
Thanks guys. Yea I'm working with a standard leaf spring rear suspension in my '64 F100. Already flipped the axle as discussed in another one of...
Now I'm at the point of fabricating mounts for my rear shocks. Is it worth staggering them (one in front of axle, one behind)? I have the space to...
Okay so the consensus is to not worry about leaf spring wrap and just set up both trans and pinion neutral (parallel) to each other. Thanks for...
Almost never. Don't really have the power for it anyway. Will be running probably less than 300hp. Thinking I'll just add 1°.
I've searched both here and abroad and can't find an answer to this. I'm about to weld leaf spring perches to my new axle housing in my '64 F100....
Rides good? Not too stiff or anything?
