Our last in county machine shop closed up a few years ago. Last set of heads that I had reworked I had to take them to Birmingham, 80 miles away. Don’t even know of a crank grinder in three connected counties. Luckily there is still a transmission builder about 30 miles away. But I suspect if it...

Ok, we’re up to 31 members, most of which are from a recently closed Mustang and Ford board that we were all on. Even got one of the moderators from the HAMB, lol. Not a whole lot going on, but I expected that. Fakebook and the others have really hurt forums.

Some kind of vent bolt? Ford uses a similar deal on the old 8” & 9” rears, but not that big… Have tried McmasterCarr’s website?

Dang! How do you move that sucka? Forklift?

Congrats on the big 60 ! If Paul Harvey were still around yall would be in his hall of fame. 46 years here for me and the missus. I often said the reason we survived this long was that I was gone on the road most of the time, she couldn’t argue with me if I wasn’t home!

Back before the CDL (commercial driver license) , it was pretty common to get a drivers license from two or three different states, especially if you ran hard all the time. You get stopped, just pull out the one with the least amount of tickets on it! A guy who became a good friend later on had...

Well said Bob. That’s one thing that upsets me about another forum that I won’t name but we all know who it is…if anything other than living in a past era comes up, it’s quickly squashed. Even news about pending legislation is axed. Crawl in your comfy hole and everything will be fine. Not! I...

Looks spot on from here!

I kinda thought they got that design from some kindergartners….

Good write up! I remember unibilt points/condenser, they were just the ticket to change the points in a long hood car like a Monte Carlo where you had to reach a mile to the back with those tiny screws! I don’t remember them giving any problems back then, when the points wore out we tossed...

I’d get the front tires I planned on running on it, and look again. It does look like the rear of the cab needs to be raised a bit. Square up the front of the bedside to the cab as well. I’m digging it!

You’re probaby right Bob, but I’ve got this disease that only lets me speak the truth, pc feelings be damned.:devilish:😁

I love old movies and tv shows that were full of vehicles. Even if the show wasn’t interesting, the background scenery usually was. The old Three Stooges clips have a lot of vehicles starting in the 1930’s on the streets. The Dragnet series, both the original from the late 50’s and the one from...

Isky is one tough sack of bones! Survived WWII, built a huge worldwide business in California before it became a sewer, still around at 102. He’s forgotten more about camshafts than most of us ever knew. And to be still working at an age not many will see, truly amazing! Must be the chilli...
