awesome guys! always a big help! Im gonna grab a gm 4 pin module and see if that works this weekend. Ill let you guys know how it goes.

Ok guys, back story. Have a 50' f1 that im putting a 400M in. The truck came with little to no wiring so I bought a e-z wiring kit for it. With all of your help I have it mostly wired and the truck turns over with the key( big accomplishment on my end) but does not start. I have wired the coil...

I have def learned something today. I have never turbo'd a carb'd engine before. I have always comes from fuel injection and when you say "draw thru" to me that means you meter the air (m.a.f) before the turbo instead of "blow through" there you meter it (m.a.f.) after the turbo in between the...

ya just noticed that once people started ponting it out. That turbo set up is bothering my a bit. Ive been around turbo car all my life and have a turbo M3 right now and that just seels a lil dangerous. Mixing gas in the turbo then trying to push it into the engine. also that height of the turbo...

parts for the dually rear end cant be that significant over a standard single axle. I see them being a lil more due to size but nothing that would sway me away from using it.

Wow! Awesome build. I love the turbo set up. Im contemplating turboing my 50 ford right now. This def give me motivatin and inspiration. Looks good Love the uniqueness!

ohh tell me about it. Im mechanically inclined but when it comes to wiring im an idiot except for the simple stuff

Well thanks for the help guys. Got it wired up this weekend. turns over and starts with the key.(major problem was the cab was not grounded very well, it is now) Now just need to run lights and signals. the hard part is out of the way. Thanks for all the help and diagrams. they all helped get...

well didnt get much wiring done. but got a lil bit. more focused on the rear drum brakes and getting everything checked for leaks and finished up the master cylinder install and all lines to the rear brakes.

thanks guys. Im headed up to the truck now. I have found some diagrams online that are helping me. ill let you guys know how it goes. the ez wiring came with with general instructions but very vague.

im using the old style, a separate starter solenoid. and the alternator is NOT a 1 wire either. the ez wiring kit has two wires for the alternator(power and exciter) not sure how to wire that either...

Started running wires to the areas that they go and now at a stand still. as far as Lights im fine on wiring. but when it comes tot he motor i am clueless. Does any one have a wiring diagram of how the motor (351w)and ignition and starter solenoid is wired together? Im clueless on the motor and...

Ok guys. Here is where I am on my project. I have a 50' ford F1. It has a ford 351 from an el rancho. It came with 6v wiring and have since removed it and bought a ez-wiring 12v kit. starting running wires to the areas that they go. Lights im fine on wiring. but when it comes tot he motor i am...

well a lil update but only one picture. Brakes are completely finished. Lines are all hooked up with new master cylinder. I cleaned and reused the metal lines that were existing and the speedway kit came with new rubber lines to the caliper. I also got a lil surprise in yesterday. I cant wait...

got mine from speedwaymotors. It came with everything I needed. Nothing was spared. It comes with Brackets, rotors, bearings, seals, bolts, calipers, pads, new brake lines. There was nothing left out and for a damn good price. I like it bc i didnt have to go source calipers or rotors like some...

ya true. I did shop around but this seemed like the best for me since I wanted to replace the entire drum system an needed an entire kit.

Im not 100% sure on exactly what is used but I do know that the calipers are GM from an 71-76 impala. So i guessing that it may be the same kit. Kits is super easy to put on. No special tools. Instead of a press to put the spindle spacer on. I used a 2" metal pipe and a hammer. It worked...

Update. Got the disk brake conversion from speedway. Got to say this kit is well made and perfect fitment except for one little spot on the bracket but nothing a lil grinding wouldnt take car of. Looks amazing and going to be a def upgrade. Now all thats left of on the brakes is the master...

cant wait. Another 50 f1 build...im looking forward to it!

Just some random pics of the truck for now. working on a few electrical issues and rewiring a few things. nothing special. just waiting on parts to come in.... shift linkage and brakes...all need replacing....
