Re: New Member Intro
Unfortunately once winter hit here in Nebraska all progress has stopped! We don't have a heated garage so unless it gets really warm we can't do much. We are saving money up so we can hit it hard this spring.

Re: Poor old George
I too was "out of sorts" till some crazy slickster (GregD) stopped by the shop I was working at and went "crazy" over my truck that I about lost interest in. He told me about Slick 60s and about Slick Stock. I never could of imagined who I have met through the time I've been on h...

Re: Won’t start

Re: Avery's truck 'The Loud One 2.0'
I got the valve cover at a dirt track swap meet for cheap and they were brand new! They are sold by Speedway motors out of Lincoln NE. I have found they have a "matching" air cleaner lid that I need to buy. The intake is an old street master 390 that I've had for 15ish years. It's just goi...

Re: Avery's truck 'The Loud One 2.0'
Avery is back at putting her engine back together. This is my old 428 that I had in my 65. Next step is to put the heads on and get them all torqued down. Avery found out how much it takes to do do this as her upper body was feeling pretty rough by the time she got them all done. https://i.postimg.c...

Re: Avery's truck 'The Loud One 2.0'
The frame we are using had a dana 44 axle in back and a badly broken rear spring. So we swapped out the whole rear axle and springs from a donor truck. https://i.postimg.cc/nzZy5q15/IMG-20220807-190812217.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/sDt0qpjc/IMG-20220807-190819112.jpg Next the front axle had to come ou...

Re: Avery's truck 'The Loud One 2.0'
Time to start putting the engine together. Avery wanted to put this engine together herself! So with a little coaching we got started. First off Avery honed the cylinders a bit to get a good cross hatch. https://i.postimg.cc/pLXSpdgF/IMG-20220715-184949056-HDR.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/CLM2bFvG/IMG-2...

Re: Hexenschuss
I always love he first fire up on a new engine!!
I built exhaust systems for 13yrs and I hated those mufflers. The first sign of restriction is heat. Where the paint is coming off is where it either hits a wall or is so tight. But so many people love those mufflers.

Re: BlackTruck Build 65
There should be no need to put thread sealant on those fittings as they both seal on the taper NOT on the threads. Is there a leakage issue?

Re: Avery's truck 'The Loud One 2.0'
This body will be dropped onto a F100 short frame with a style side box. Crown vic front subframe with my old 428 and a c-6 transmission. This is going to be for my daughter who is showing great interest in old trucks. https://i.postimg.cc/NF22jm7P/IMG-20210926-153726526-HDR.jpg https://i.postimg.cc...

Avery's truck 'The Loud One 2.0'
Well it has started!! Just picked up a 63 f600 cab and chassis. I haven't seen it in person yet but pictures look pretty decent. I will pick it up this weekend and get better pics.
This will be an adventure!
