Man that thing was a blast! Nothing like getting together a bunch of people who like to build cars and not buy them finished. [IMG] Here's...
How am I just now finding out about this?! Must be this rock I'm living under. Hopefully I can get my '56 in it! Glad you're doing it in Big Horn,...
Anyone have any power estimates?
Well, I'm not looking for huge numbers out of it, but if it can get me in the 300-400 torque range without needing huge mods, it could work for...
Thanks for the input :) Any idea what i could expect to see from swapping those out?
Here's the video on it. You can see some of the lag it has when first reving. Hopefully a little carb work will take care of that. <iframe...
I'd like to put a triple-deuce on it, but by the looks of what I've come across today a lot of what I want to do I need to find people with the...
Here's some pictures, should help make everything easier, lol [IMG] (That bracked use to go to the pump for the air brakes before they switched...
The code I have on the VIN is "Z", which was the 272HD, but I haven't been able to verify it. I thought I remembered checking but to be honest...
1956 Ford F600 272 HD Y-block What kind of horsepower, or more importantly torque, can I expect to see by upgrading the intake and exhaust...
*nevermind figured this question out*
Do you think lock washers would do the trick? I want to wait on welding anything till I'm sure what I'm going to do with my rear suspension.
S-10 frames run different lenghts, might be worth finding a new one. Couple links: This is Ford's how-to with it, it's a very good read and adds...
Thanks guys. I found some 7/16" in town, I'll just drill out the holes a little bit more. Had to get a little longer bolt than I'd probably...
I took out a couple rivets today to prepare for shortening my wheel base. The hole was about .405-.415" or so, and the same with the rivets...
I've always liked cars but I haven't always been a gear-head. In high-school I started to look for what I thought was the perfect car, turned out...
I asked this question on another site with some Ford truck fans. I've decieded to just move the axle, but something interesting about cutting the...
Thanks for the advise. I finally found a box, I've been looking for months for what I wanted, I'm not shortening anything till it's on so I know...
I'm a blacksmith so I'm set up for it. I'd use a large angle grinder over a torch, torches are messy for this kind of work. I may just move the...
Whats the benifit from moving the springs over cutting the frame? (Honestly asking, I can't think of a way to say that that might not sound...
I'm getting close to shortening the frame on my 1956 Ford F-600. I'm pretty sure I have it all worked out but I'd like to run it by those who...
I'm brainstorming for my 1956 Ford pickup interior. What I am looking to do is make it custom, but also hold the feel of the 50s or earlier...
Personally I think red can be too much if everything is red. If you went red I wouldn't use it as the primary color in the interior. The white...
Beautiful car! It's just mean looking, and I think the black with fire paint job would really fit it well. There are a lot of projects I've seen...
Damn thats slick!
some sweet ideas in here! I made this earlier this year: [IMG] Also did a set of knobs out of the same woods (podunk and maple burl)...
This weekend I'm going to look at some parts for my truck. Among some 4x4 axles and even a bed from a '55, he has a few Powertrain options. I...
Ok, so it turns out I grossly underestimated the weight of the facotry flat bed and the axles, resulting in grossly, grossly, over estimating the...
Depends on how long... could look REALLY funny, lol
True, I guess if I did swap out the 460 to a 351w I wouldn't need the computer stuff anyways... The '77 should have a wheel base around 117"...
