A 300 and T5 with 3.7 gears can get 20mpg. My 67 did that for many years.

Forcast is in the mid 90sF and no rain or clouds so humidity should be low.

Do we have shade? Should I bring my tent? What about power for bow fans?

I am planning on going up Friday morning and coming back Saturday night.

So I don't think it will work for me to bring you. ...sorry buddy.

As always I am a day late.

I may have to add a side arm weapons mount to it!

I know what you are going through. A long road...but very rewarding!

Looks really good!

Glad to see another one back on the road for another 60 years!

This is on my 67... but the floor is the same as a Slick.

I agree with Pat. 2 frames into one. With nice thick boxing plates and a K-member to stiffen it up. The longer frame will twist more, so you need to control that with the K-member.

So I have got a little bit more done on this thing... Got the web in and the brake bracket positioned. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h142/madmaxetc/Monster%20Go%20Kart/20140628_165235_zpskgno01jz.jpg Engine sled built and frame cage ruffed in. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h142/madmaxetc/Mon...

Very nice!

I have not. But this style is not uncommon. With the mount on the other side any downward movement actually pinches the engine. It looks almost the same as the ones ICI sells to put a 460 in the Dakota clips. Steve says he has never had an issue.

(The picture makes it look worse than it is too.)

I made the mounts. Scrap steel and end link bushings.

Linkage is Flaming River parts. I cut the rag joint off the column and carefully ground it down to a double D.

Here are some shots of mine... http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h142/madmaxetc/63%20F-100/Dakota%20Swap/2013-01-26173331.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h142/madmaxetc/63%20F-100/Dakota%20Swap/2013-01-26173042.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h142/madmaxetc/63%20F-100/Engine/2012-10-1316...

Nice. Cool to see something different.

That is why I always have at least 4 going at all times! (not always car/truck related)

Yeah buddy!

Looks killer. Well done.

Just in case you wanted to do an upgrade. Here is what I did on my 67.

Congrats on 3rd!

I like the truck, looks sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Hotwheels for sure.

Pinewood derby would be cool. easy to add to the track too.
