The Jalopy Journal
There was definitely a cop. The other guy got citations for following too closely and causing an accident. Crazy how little damage his Chevy...
Good advice all around guys thanks. He does have insurance and a claim has been filed, but my worry was that the car would appraise for less than...
I was driving my '63 Galaxie 500XL 2-door the other day and got smoked from behind by a guy not paying attention. He hit me so hard the motor...
I've got an Offenhauser 2x1 for the Black Diamond 240 in my '56 S-120. Picked it up on eBay a couple years ago and I've never seen another one....
Some of these are great...but I wonder how well they would x-ray. There is a LOT more to a good weld than aesthetics
There is a 4spd w/ overdrive IH tranny that will work but you have to make an adapter. Otherwise 1:1 final ratio is as good as it gets. The...
I have a BD240 in my '56 S110 and the only real performance part I've found is an Edelbrock 2x1 intake for it (Nicson made one too). Eventually...
This is badass! Too bad I've already got me an old one...we should find out if Weiand still has the molds for their MEL front cover. I would buy...
I wouldn't say the 430 is a bad idea...if you can get away with re-ringing a '58-'59 engine then you can have a monster in a lightened Falcon. It...
These are some of my personal stash:) A Hilborn and Vertex on the gold '59 and an Edelbrock 6x2 on the grungy '63. Both are 430s. I also have...
Worst Finding Nemo paint job ever
I managed to score a sweet 56-57 IH S-120 from a local scrap guy here. $540, it's a complete ex-forest service truck with good 4WD. I'm stoked...
That's not THAT long of a trip; try living in Montana, where every trip is 360 miles! I live in a big state with not much in it
Yup stake sides. They fit in the stake pockets along the top of the bed sides. Gonna put some on my IH one day.
Wow...beautiful. Thanks for the pics, not often one gets to see something like this in such detail
Me, my 'newest' is the 63 Galaxie
This is the baddest effin thread on the HAMB. Awesome inspiration for my own builds
No one believes me, but I swear I once passed a sign in Alabama that read 'Please Don't Litter, Help Keep Alabama Illiterate'!!! Almost had to...
I live in Montana and I drive my '56 International year round...tend to get some really crazy looks when driving to work at -20 degrees!! :D
Well said, we don't get too many thieves like that up here in Montana. Open carry if you like,or you can get your concealed carry with a hunter's...
Maybe not too rare, but I kinda like the Offy dual carb intake I got for my '56 International...gonna be fun when I've got it converted to 4wd....
Yeah I agree with the idea of a straight across trade for a 50's cruiser...if I had something to trade you with i'd be down even! Not as huge of...
Damnit! If I lived a little closer, I'd bring my 63 Comet over
I'd definately go for the dual master, I had each wheel cylinder pop on me one at a time!! Luckily ALL of them went on the way out of my...
I would say no to the skirts, unless you ditched the flares around the wheel wells. Been tossing around this same question myself in regards to...
I just drove my 63 Galaxie with a 2v on a 352 to Bonneville and back (Bozeman MT). Ran like a top! I can see the other guys' advice about very...
Fuck yes. This, this is inspiration
We've got a good NAPA crew here, and the Carquest guys are pretty good too. O'Reilly on the other hand...
If I wasn't prepping the car for Bonneville, i'd definately hit it up...
I live in Bozeman, just went on a road trip today in the Galaxie. There are PLENTY of places to stop for gas along I-90. Homestake pass can be a...
