Been busy last while. Rod now has a VIN, still looking for a mechanic to do an Out of Province inspection. Anyone from Alberta have some suggestions?

Wondering what this may cost me? My truck will have a 2 piece front flat glass windshield, 2 side windows and a small mail slot back window. Found a shop in town to do it but they wont even give me a ballpark cost till its in their shop. Any idea what this may cost before I haul it down to...

Yup and discuss...

I'm trying to find the metal c channel glass run that fits inside the door. I have new felts but the metal channel is missing on one door. Anyone know where I might find one?

Had a chance to visit both yards at Desert Valley Auto while on a trip to Mesa. If your ever in the area and have the opportunity its a worth while trip. The south yard was mostly older vehicles(1920's to 1960s with a few into the 70s) The North Yard is mostly 1960s and up. Nothing I really...

Anyone know any?

Looking for tires for the front of my ride. I mocked up the car with old 17" ford wire wheels with 5.25/5.50 x 17 tires. The rims are badly rusted and I dont feel comfortable using them. Also I want to go to radials all around. I'm thinking of getting the Sportsman S/R 28x6.0015lt. on some basic...

So I'm rethinking my steering setup. Really wanted the cowl steering, had a mopar manual box, and everything pretty much built. But the inspection guys here do not like any welding on steering. Can't do cross steer since I flipped my spindles suicide style due to the travel I need with my bags...

Anyone able to help? I do have the serial number vaguely stamped on the frame still

I have built a sbf with an electric coolant pump. Problem is it has no connections for a heater. Could I run a tee off the outlet of the pump to the heater then back in through the intake coolant passage? would that have flow?

So I picked up a MC from a swap last year. Believe it's a GM, pretty large cast iron unit. 4 ports. Also got a basic Prop valve from an auto shop, and a couple 2 psi residuals. First why four ports on the MC? I'm guessing for each wheel, but don't they use a prop valve with two ports? Could...

Trying to sort out my front tires for my build. On the rear I have a set of Hoosier Quick Time 15x 22.5 tires. For the front I have some vintage welded wire wheels with some 5.25/5.50x17 beat up tires. Do I stay Bias ply? or try to find a set of bias look alike radials?

I got my truck with the original headlight buckets on the pedestals. I'm looking for a bezel as I lost one. Been searching forever and they seem to be super rare. Suggestions?

Trying to get some input on mounting my cab. Been planning on mounting with neoprene bushings, but I'm not sure it will be solid enough to run cowl steering with a mopar box. Pros cons?

Laying out my chop. Noticed on the front a - pillars that most cut them on an angle rather than running a straight line around the cab. Know there's gotta be a reason that I don't see.

I got a set of Hoosier 22.5x 33 x 15 wheels for free. On 15" x16" rims with a 5x 5" pattern with 5/8" lugs. I'm putting an explorer 8.8 rear under my truck and I'm trying to figure out how to use these as they look awesome. I as hoping for some adapters but they are all 1/2 lugs unless I had...

Got a set of hoosier tires(22.5" wide) with rims. The rims are 5x5" lug pattern. As I am still not set on a diff, what would fit that bolt pattern?

I picked up a mopar steering box out of a 68 roadrunner. No pitman arm though. Searched for one and they are damn expensive to buy, and it's painful when I'm just going to chop it up. Anyone know where I'd find female splines that would fit? Or Maybe a pitman from another manufacturer... Or a...

I realized i have to move my steering tie rod in front of my axle to work with my airbags. Now I thought I heard someone ask this before but can you flip the original spindles right to left and left to right to move the tie rod up front? I think they are identical as long as you don't flip them...

Been trying to decide how to build up my truck(1941 ford) Have a 1995 f150 donor with a 351w roller that I'm changing to a carb setup. Trying now to figure what tranny to use. The donor tranny is a E4od but is huge and heavy(250+lbs) and will require a controller, I have a used c4 but will need...
