Steve , don't even try bumper & auto on 13th i got one from them when i was doing that white 65 and the chrome was so jacked up it made the bumper look wavy ..............took that crap rite back and haven't done business with them since Jeff

thanks guys, gary , thats without the rear being done.....gonna do a spring under and baby c-notch should get a 1" difference . do you want the front and rear mounts for that axle as well? just thought i would ask as i have them and the front mounts are new. yes Steve that came out pretty sweet...

just got done doing the column in my 64/2. used Ididit universal column with a grant wheel looks good and i didn't have to pay 750$$ for the ford one, mine was 400 and it's just as good. the columns on Evilbay that are 2&3 hundred are a "git what you paid for" thing. I also believe tha...

I LOVE my OLD TRUCK...........i don't like new trucks. I like to tell people that I go to the dealership to get Mama's ride, but I find mine in someone's back yard and haul it home, drive it if possible, and bring it back to life. That being said.............I DRIVE AN OL' TRUCK and i love it. Jeff ...

Welllllllllll..... finally got the steering and motor mounts figured out and installed. went with Ididit column and homemade motor mounts http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh605/pikupmn/20150114_202828_11.jpg http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh605/pikupmn/20150216_1609431.jpg http://i1254.photo...

What Steve said :) i used the motor mounts you are talking about when i 1st put my 64 together they ARE strong enuf to hold up a small block...no prob. had to 86 em when i put in the dakota front end the 1's Steve was talking about are a MUCH cleaner look and fairly easy to install with a little twe...

I've got 2 oil filter re-locators to choose from and I'll get to that but I'll NEVER run fram filters
as for the motor mounts I'm gonna try to revamp the ones I got from Speedway and as much as i hate to say it
I might have to run a brand X style steering column. Jeff

they both sound DAMN healthy

Welcome Chris from Nebraska. if you look thru the build section you'll find all kinds of good stuff. but pace yourself so you don't get overloaded. Jeff

oh, the area where the motor mounts is NOT above the Dakota cross member. Jeff

has anyone got pics of how they did an IFS and how the motor mounts and steering were hooked up? i set the engine in tonight to try and see where everything was gonna set and it seems to me that the motor mounts and steering shaft off of the rack are not going to mesh very well, plus the oil filter ...

yes and all i had to get from the boneyard was the caliper mounts.............boy was that easy walked in walked right to the truck and got 'em
i recommend this kit to anyone for ease of installation and all around good looks. Jeff

not sure yet , was thinking about a 78 or 79 truck tilt................here's a little more progress http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh605/pikupmn/IMG_2150.jpg http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh605/pikupmn/IMG_2151.jpg http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh605/pikupmn/IMG_2153.jpg http://i12...

it originally came with no hole in the floor think it was column shift , so i just found out where i needed the shifter and cut a hole i used a shifter out of an Aerostar but not the cable, it didn't want to work so we usded a airpump bracket from a 460 and formed it till it fit, not it's a, as Mopa...

i put a 2 pot m/c on my 64 and when i hit the brakes hard it locks the right front
if i had it 2 do again and i'm doing that now, i'm putting a proportioning valve on
i have to have it now, but i wish i'd done it earlier
hope this helps, Jeff

see if this helps any, Jeff
