So I got a bigger radiator. I followed Steve Park's advice and got a big universal radiator from Speedway Motors.
I welded in a piece of 2 inch angle to support it.

Here is the cable. Looks a lot like the parking brake cable.

A really long time ago Fred Martin mentioned that he had a 70's chevy truck hood latch in his truck with a bracket he made. They used the same latch in the Astro vans, so I have two of them out in my yard. I am really tempted to go with this, because I need some more room behind the latch, and the s...

I've done that door mod :lol: Every trashed uni door with a good bodyline should be cut out and saved !!!!! Absolutely. I have two uni doors with the top cut completely off of them. I used one of them for the arch, and the other is being put aside. My whole truck is made of cut and paste panels. I ...

test to see if it is possible to post pictures from instagram

I used to have to stick my head in small places to weld on flatbed trailers. My welding helmet was a piece of filter glass held in my left hand between the arc and my face. Good thing I don't have to do that crap anymore. I have been using a Harbor Freight helmet for the stuff I do around here, and ...

I have used phosphoric acid for this as well. Just don't use muratic acid. It embeds chlorine atoms in the metal and causes rust later on.

heard lots of good about the dakota front end. You can use full size truck rotors and keep the 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. Never messed with it myself. I kept the straight axle in my 63, and just added disc brakes.

I doubt it. If it is like mine, it comes into the house on coax. How fast is it running on a speed test?

Dan

LMC has one, this link should go directly there

Welcome from Las Cruces.

Really nice. I like the big scary looking heater you have back there.

If his stall rating on the torque converter is higher than his cruise rpm, won't it slip like crazy? been a long time since I messed with a non-locking tc type auto transmission.

I think you can still get them. I made one out of a piece of metal tubing with a bit of rubber on each end. I have all of the tubing benders for that type of stuff. I always cleaned my pcv valve on my old carburetor type vehicles with carb cleaner every year when I checked the settings and cleaned t...

This is a copy of my Facebook post on the subject. Rock of the Marne, John. Today is Memorial Day. Living in New Mexico has led me to realize that in a way, Memorial Day is a cousin to Dia De Los Muertos, or at least it is the closest thing we have to it. Some of those whom we honor on this day were...

I just put a door together using your fine instructions. Much easier than I thought it would be. Thanks

Dan

I will have to take a look at that propane setup in August.

door grafting. I cut the uni part out of a door and welded it into a standard door. The trick was using the keyhole to line up the pieces http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q696/copperclockmaker/13255996_10205928429119496_34160110889185569_n_zpsm0cx3ltj.jpg http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q696/...

I am a fan of the YF. They can't be too bad of a carb if they were a stock carb on fords, chevrolets, jeeps, various AMC products, and military vehicles as well (they were the related YS series). It is an easy carb to tinker with, and has a metering rod that is controlled by throttle position as wel...
