A friend stopped by today and showed me pics on his phone of the Vegas rat rod show. He said at least half the cars are custom tube frame with bags and 12 valve Cummins and some old ratty body bolted on. A few SBC and LS engines but nothing cool like Hemi's or Nailheads. One guy had a 3 duece W...

Is this place dieing the slow death like KB? I only see one or two new threads a week anymore. A little buzzing on the BS but hardly anything anymore on the Hotrod talk.

Well, I just clocked over another year yesterday and my monthly visit to the cancer doc. He is amazed at how good I look with my blood counts and all. He said he really didn't think 3 months ago that I would still be alive now. I guess I wasn't sure either. I get blood products at least one a...

Of the dumbing down to drive a car. What next. And the Caddy a-holes on the TV version have to tale a jab at Tesla, wth?? If I see someone driving one, I'm going to swerve abruptly toward him and see if his caddy makes him spill his triple decaf frappacino latte...

It's been rattling around in my head for 15 years and I've had the stuff to do it a couple times, just not the "right" vehicle. Airfoil shaped wing strut to make a floating grill. I've picked it up free from shops that work on light aircraft, have a big chunk of it I'm stumbling over for 10...

Every so often, I see a 40s-50s custom with a bunch of work and they just look right, kind of like a Dick Tracey cartoon car. Then I start wondering why nobody builds cars that way. Nowdays it's just huge bling wheels and airbags to lay it on the ground. In the old days a properly lowered car...

Says they are crushing 2/3 of them. Anyone live nearby? https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/pts/d/salvage-yard-liquidation/6439625236.html

Never head much after they opened the vault

I've always thought RRR had way too many categories. Today I went through a bunch of them and the top threads are sometimes over a month old. Why not pare it down. One for sale or trade would be enough. Just get rid of or incorporate most of the other ones. I think we could easily do with six or...

I got to thinking about an old pickup a friend of mine dragged in for the meyers plow 5-6 years ago so I went and look. Sure enough, the somewhat scarce 78-79 F150 Supercab 4x4. What makes it scarce you ask? The 78-79 were the only years of that body style to offer a supercab F150 with 4x4 and...

Week 5 back in the hospital. Just got my results yesterday from the latest bone marrow biopsy and this round of chemo pretty much did nothing except make me feel crappy, loose my hair, appetite and 25 pounds. Attending doc said no sense in any more chemo or for me to lay around the hospital any...

I just visited 2 of their stores in Minneapolis this week. Don't miss them if you are ever in town!!! I bought 2 bakelite telephones, some heat shrink, red butt splice connectors, black bicycle grips and half dozen red lenses for the old truck marker lights. https://www.ax-man.com/collections

Dragged it out of the trees where it was driven in 19 years ago. I shall call it ILean

Hey Eric, you should drop in and say hi. We would all like to know how you are getting along. I know it's been a tough road. Any chance you will ever get back to hauling? Miss you on here buddy.

Just got it home a couple hours ago. A nice solid cab, as good as they get. Has a few butchery issues. This will be the cab that plans are to go on the 77 F250 chassis with a 429 or 460/ZF 5 speed. I hope to find F600 front fenders with the bigger cutouts. They were optional on F250/F350s too.

I have the 77 F250 4x4 chassis, the 460/ZF drievetrain and this is the body I hope to use. I think I have the rancher talked out of it. I will get it pieced together at my nephews, with his help. He has a side post lift. I will leave it original patina. My original 59 F250 4x4 is for sale

Just to keep money in circulation, bought a couple Fords from the impound yard. Mid 80s F250 4x4. Nice clean truck with a really nice Knaphied utility box, ladder rack, custom front bumper and PTO winch. "Blown up"?? 460 4 speed. And 1990ish F150 super cab 5,0 auto, Pretty straight but trashed...

I found a 78 town car for sale with a 460 2 barrel. I can't find anything that says they ever put a 2 barrel on a 460. I suppose it could be off a 429 but looks unmolested. This was the last year for the 460 in a car and they were shuffling to meet emissions and the 400 was in some of them. No...

I've been wanting to do an older body on a 77-79 F250 4x4 frame for a long time. I've had a 460 with a ZF given to me a while back. Yesterday I got a free 77(late) F250 4x4 given to me that is just a stripped out cab and the chassis. I'm looking at some different options on 57-60 bodys. Probably...
