thanks sid, still on the fence about the clutch setup........

ok good point, 31 studabaker frame under a 34 ford truck cab. do I have to use the flathead flywheel/clutch? And can I actuate the clutch hydraulically?

I almost went with a toyota 22r carb or early 80's twin cam 4 cyl toyota, was going to use a 2wd truck tranny with it.

I know this has come up before, but I am getting ready to put the motor into the frame and will need to have the trans in so I can work on the floor. I have the original column shift 3 spd but would rather run the mid 80's t5 that I have. I have seen kits from $200 up $1000 to use the t5 with...

toyotas also had a fuse for the charging system under the hood. If you need, I may have some old wiring diagrams for toy trucks. Let me know.........

finishing up getting my truck on 4 wheels, now i have to decide on what style steering setup to use. I like the cowl steering and sidesteer setups. I plan to use the truck alot once done so I don't want anything tricky or questionable. While searching and pricing out options, I came across...

I guess I don't know just how big they are as far as fitting in the door and clearance

I have a 34 ford pickup cab I am going thru and I am wondering if bear claw latches would work in these doors and which size to use, just looking for some other opinions/suggestions. thanks

I am just getting rolling on building my roller, but I am still on the fence about the motor. Being a mechanic at toyota, I have a fresh 22r 4 cyl and on the other side I also have a '40 flathead... do I go for a lighter, 30+ mpg, 215 hp 4 cyl, with a hood! Or do I go with the nostalgic motor...
