i swapped out a 240 for a 300 in an old 65 i used to have and it wasn't no biggie . i used a fuel injected motor with the carb stuff replacing all the fuelie stuff. had to get plugs for the head for the smog junk . the hardest thing i did was putting the electronic ignition on it. used the carb off ...

not sure if I'll bring "Therapy" to SS or not ........drove it to work the other day and it makes some funky noises. I'll still come but i don't want to have to worry about gittin a busted truck back home. i gotta leave the next Mon AM for north dakota for work so you might not hear from m...

OK then , i guess it goes in the scrap pile. Jeff

Well ......she's all one color now , nothing special, just wanted to get all the bare metal covered and while I was at it, just hit the whole thing. Still needs some touch up but all in good time. Jeff

it may be old.... but if you look inside the newer welders, of any type(mig, stick,etc.) you will find Hobart parts
i've got a 110 Hobart mig and i love it for doing body panels, a stick welder IS doable but boy does it suck and it'll piss you off. just my . Jeff

JC that was funny as hell....although very infomative. hate that i won't get to meet you at SS this time. Jeff

if anyone needs a fuel tank, stock behind seat, i can bring it to SS6. it appears to be in good shape, just takes up space in the garage.
if mine ever goes bad , i'm gonna move it so i really don't need to keep it. let me know, Jeff

good to see you get to get some progress, waiting on stuff really sux,
i don't envy the job that lays ahead tho......
i had to form brake lines, gas lines, and tranny lines
i hate forming lines now. Jeff

usually the m/c goes into the top hole
the back hole goes back for the rear brakes
and the forward and lower go to the fronts (1 to each side)
that's the way my old 65 was and it just had the 4 way cross tee.
i have another one if yours is messed up. Jeff

if the Slick Gods allow it I'll be there in mine...........but she ain't no beauty queen and that's gonna be a 1st long trip for "THERAPY". hopefully it'll be 1 color but if it ain't, who cares. 11686 sorry Jack ain't coming even tho he'd love too he just loves to lay under that ol' truck....

gonna get there on friday. Jeff

well i'm in nebraska but i just made my room res. see y'all there. Jeff

Steve , that has the makings of "ONE FUN TOY". can't wait to see it finished. we're gonna have to start calling you Project Man . Jeff

hey steve, congrats, well got her to roll without making all kinds of nasty noises..............finally, but the speedo is WAAAAY off. i'll figure that out. my neighbor sold his 35 all ford truck and bought a 39 ford coupe with a brand x drive line he let me drive it today and even if it is brand x ...

for anyone interested.

went to look at a rear end and box and ended up getting a 3rd member. it's got 3.89 gears but it'll get me rolling. think i might rebuild the old one with some 3.25s or something close. the guy didn't know about this site, so i HAD to inform him about the best bunch of guys on the interweb :) .he's ...

Pat the pleasure was mine . that's a really nice truck you have. Steve, my $$$$pit is sittin' in the garage till i find a center section for the rear end. on the bright side there ain't much more to have to fix b4 it's ALL NEW. Jeff

went to the Meadowlark Model A Club car show today and there was 2 slicks there. a 64 short and a 66 4x4 and a whole slew of other cool cars. as you can see ...........i was drooling. good times!
Jeff

Well the 3.70s are probably history, Steve. Got some exhaust on the truck and I heard this God awful noise, :cussing: 1st thing I thought of is........this damn transmission is killing me, :bs: cause it sounded like it was coming from right under me. Pat came over and we took her for a spin and came...

FINALLY..... i have a transmission that works :!: it only took a month and a 1/2 but i guess it was all for learning reasons, and boy, did i learn alot. you never take for granted that a new part , even if it comes from a parts house , in a box, necessarily doesn't fit perfect . got her out for the ...
