The Jalopy Journal
^ Good to know. I've got a bench out of a old Econoline thats almost wide enough, but doesn't tilt forward. Currently I've got a S10 bench in the...
Anyone know what kind of non-original bench seat will fit nicely in these trucks? I sold the bench out of mine before I started building it?
The 250 I swapped into my '54 F100 on a S10 chassis. Love how simple it is, and has a decent amount of power. However, I'm worried that I may...
I had a temporary 2" straight pipe on my Chevy 250 six that exited right under the driverside door. Other than the fumes, the noise was tolerable,...
^ I used to work with a guy that had an S10 that was broke in half behind the cab. It was then patched by drilling holes through the frame, laying...
Sell that cab, and with the money you can buy 3 or 4 old International cabs and cut them all to hell.
I love this thread.
A car body turned into a truck cab accomplishes everything that is done to make old pickups look sleeker. Low hood lines and roof lines, low, long...
Looks like a fun build. Love the crossbreed set-up. Dodge Engine, Ford Chassis, misc. import parts thrown in for good measure.
Finished fabbing up my throttle linkage/tv cable brackets today, and got the 250 6 running. I don't even think it turned a whole revolution before...
I fabbed my motor mounts up yesterday. Now I'm just a few bolts, some hoses, and wiring away from the road.
I've always liked the rooflines on these trucks.
Its a 250 6 cylinder out of a first generation Camaro. Can't wait to get it out on the road.
I love the feel of a well broken bench seat. If you can keep the springs/wires out of your back. What I done on my '66 was cut some foam...
Shit. If you were closer I'd trade you. My daily is a '98 4.3 automatic with a 3.08 pegleg. It constantly shifts in and out of overdrive because...
I interchanged the part number and ordered one at Advance for about $17 with the core. I need to run new lines and replace all the wheel cylinders...
4.11 is a fairly rare ratio. Usually just came in 4-cylinder automatic trucks. RPO code in the glovebox is GT5. Somebody would probably trade you...
Was just wondering if there was any later or earlier model units that would bolt up and interchange with mine? I'm having a hard time finding a...
I work at a parts house. A couple of months ago this over confident guy from out of state came in and kept demanding an oil change deal. Of course...
I came up with it taking like 40-something years for the difference in mileage to add up. Sweet jesus. Not to mention that the car would have long...
Nice old truck. Wish I'd kept mine. Didn't have a single speck of rust on the body, but the motor was locked solid. I acutally debated a straight...
Made some progress on mine today. Got the motor dropped in. It still needs to come up an inch, go over an inch to the passenger side, and I need...
This is really neat. I love the old Detroit 2-strokes.
Guess I had a moment of stupidity. Resistor inline to the points, 12v from the starter to the coil for more spark during cranking.
How would I go about wiring up the hot wire for the coil to a toggle switch for the points. Just a resistor in the wire before the points?
Okay. Haha. It freaked me out for a minute.
Picked up a 250 6-cylinder out of a 67 Camaro for my '54 F100. Was checking it out a little closer and found this. Is it a resistor of some...
I've got old z28 wheels on my daily driver S-10. I can imagine that if a certain wheel cover fit the style and budget of the car, it would've been...
The starter thats on the motor is mounted right on the edge of the block, so I think it is for a 168 tooth flywheel. Wouldn't a straight across...
[IMG] Pulled the small block out of mine today before work. Beat the living hell out of the firewall for a little extra clearance. Don't mind...
