I have recently been appointed the Art teacher at my little school here south of Muskogee, Oklahoma for the 6th through 8th grade classes....
With the start of the new school year, I lucked out and found a new job in an AMAZING little school. It came down to the literal wire - having put...
Heading from Eufaula, Oklahoma (74432) tomorrow to the DFW area with my truck to haul back some fish tanks. Thought I'd offer up the haul if...
I'm seeing some threads that say to modify this or change that in order to get a 5 speed into the '59 Ranchero with a 292 that is going to be my...
Bought this '59 Ranchero for my 12 year old son this weekend as he fell in love with it. I know the production number of Rancheros for '59 was...
Have one in the '59 Ranchero I just picked up for my 12 year old, and about the only thing I'm really wanting to do with it is add a mild cam and...
Found this Ranchero at a scrap yard that I drive past every day on my way to and from work and swung in to take a look at it. It's a nice...
I remember someone awhile back - bear with me, I have CRS - who mentioned there was a federal statute or federal law that put into writing that...
I came across these containers at a scrapyard, and the more I look at them, the more I like them! I'm very much considering using one as the bed...
I have a 28 1/4" hood, and need to know the measurement from the front cowl bolt to the back side of the radiator. My radiator shell is pretty...
I saw this in another thread and thought I'd comment myself. I've seen some people get uber-excited over some perceived 'stupid comments' made by...
I was just wondering... and looking for intelligent education here... as to whether a proportioning valve would be necessary if a person was to...
I know it's an opinion thing, but I'm also sure there's some physics aspect to it as well. Which is better for a custom built master cylinder...
Chaddillac hooked me up with some pedals today when I was hanging out with him, and he suggested that there might be a modern M/C that'll fit...
Basically what the title says. I've heard that if I were to use the stock type proportioning valve from a similarly weighted car or small pickup...
Sorry to pick at the Evil-bay scab, but has anyone bought a Vega box from the sellers on Evilbay? They have them pretty reasonable and are...
Geez... I hate to keep asking what are seemingly dumb questions, but I'm trying to get my ducks in a row to make sure I know what I'm possibly...
I've been looking at this pedal setup for my Dubble A closed cab '29 pickup, but I don't think I really like the idea of the mast of the pedal...
Gotcha! Looking for pictures and ideas for home made sheetmetal and light steel brakes. I have a few ideas to make one out of some HEAVY...
Found one on a late 60s Ford Econoline van that was given to my dad. Looks to already be 'front swing' with the pitman arm and seems small enough...
Looking how to set up the motor in my Dubble A. Don't want it too low and don't want it too high. Looking for your mounts for inspiration on where...
Sorry for the O/T post, but I figured I'd offer it up. Couple years ago I moved out of Tulsa to my family farm and thought that the kids that...
Long story short, I've got one that I'm supposed to crush, and I don't want to crush it. However, if I sell it, I want to price it right in the...
Sorry for the off topic post, but man I need help to fix this thing - hopefully. About 6 months ago, my winch quit working on my flatbed...
Okay... Its just about ready to go back out into the shop and hopefully become a runner and driver before the end of summer. However, I have been...
Namely the front upper and lower control arms? I've been super busy for awhile, and am finally getting back into the swing of things. That...
I left school today a bit later than normal due to having to attend a baby shower. Anyway, I started down the road and got onto the highway, and I...

I'm inquiring for my dad (he's not online/message board savvy), as he's looking for some more gainful employment than what he's doing right now....
