That is ugly.

IMO the factory dash is one of the most aesthetically pleasing aspects of the slick series vehicles, and that guy(or gal) really screwed it up. Also red and maroon don't go together as demonstarted by the interior of this vehicle. The custom dash makes this trucks interior discusting. If the owner i...

Pbly no right or wrong way to do it. When i did my 4x4 I knew my cab was already sprung because none of the doors would shut. Did the repairs cab on frame. My order of repair went: 1. Did both sides front A and B pillars. Made them xtra long so i could cut off what i didn't need later. 2. Put a jack...

i do have a welder and some bailing wire. actually i'd like to drive a vehicle with one in it just for grins they sound kind of interesting from reading the posts. been seeing them on craigslist lately for some reason. When did you get 'lectricity up there on top of the hill? SPark well i don't tec...

These transmissions were borg warner equipped overdrives. As mentioned these had governors and selenoids. The R11 designation means it is a heavy duty, and most likely used with a big block originally. If in good working condition, then price is good, if not then you have a serious problem. I think...

sounds like something i could use in my 63 (has 4:56's) lol. a bit complicated maybe but kinda a neat idea.

listed as an "overdrive" transmission. dumb question i suppose but does this thing have an xtra highway gear or something? or is it just a standard tranny with a impressive name, kinda like a 79 "cobra" mustang.

sounds like mom gets right to the point.

looking forward to your build thread keep the pictures coming.

Sorry but I blame the guys making a killing on it before the green freaks. Huge agri business, corn subsidies ect. They get away with murder in the name of the small farmer, trying to make a living. Brazil went to ethanol a while ago, but did not dstroy a food crop to do so. i own a small farm in t...

We have planned well and unless the good old USA gets nuked or we end up fighting a civil war over class warfare, we are pretty much taken care of. Ive always feared taxes more than the Ruskies. Now its the liberals. yeah the current push toward socialism from the far left is alarming. in my area i...

My way of thinking is that I have authorization to spend up to 30k. because you're "authorized" to spend money doesn't mean you should do it. save your money and sell what is smartest to sell. from what you've posted sounds like you have to many projects so keep one and enjoy it, get rid ...

yep it is, makes me feel kinda crafty too. although have to admit sometimes i get a little too crafty and things don't turn out so well lol.

it's really luck of the draw with auto parts counter employees. i called 3 or 4 parts stores and of coarse no one carried something that far back even though i'm sure ford made the same float for various vehicles for several years. ended up taking the float off a trashed sending unit i had from my 6...

looked around on the net your right, 5 bucks on mac's website.

thanks Rick.

filled it up and the gauge stayed on empty so i took the unit out of the tank. shook the float and it's got fluid in it but can't find any holes in the float. am i correct in assuming there shouldn't be any fluid in there(don't know why there would be but ya never know) and i just need a new float. ...

styleing(sp?). wanted an old 4x4. liked the 60/66 chevy's. thought the same vintage dodges were so ugly they were attractive. but the 61/66 fords are imo way out in front. not sure what style you would call the slick look (art nouveau?) but when i saw a 4x4 flare/stepside with large opening fenders ...

definately the best truck on the lot. like your rims and the amber light looks good to. got a roof mount vintage spotlight for mine if i ever get around to mounting it.

snyde comment time- that gray/blue color is butt ugly. (apologies to any members with that particular color).

it is a nice truck but imo not 40k nice, even if he has 50k invested.
