    Steering Shaft coupler question. Need a single D 0.65"

    I did drop a couple of drops of green loctite wicking version inside the coupler. Had to use short set screws without jam nuts because they hit the header. Blue on the screws.

    Steering Shaft coupler question. Need a single D 0.65"

    Not easy to swap. The lower shaft is welded in. Im only doing top due to header change. Ended up running 2 beads, file, drill a divot for the set screw. Waiting on top DD shaft due today.

    Body Shop Lost

    I used to work for a big EV company you've probably heard of. I drove an engineering vehicle as my daily. We were not allowed to park in a garage and were asked to only charge at the charging stations. Not our home. 8*) FWIW.

    Steering Shaft coupler question. Need a single D 0.65"

    I have a funny shaft on my Rat. It is 0.65" and a Single D. 3 sides are square with one side rounded. Looking to adapt that to a 3/4 DD coupler. Not having good luck finding one. My inclination is to run a bed on the non-D side and then file down...but if something exists already, I have...

    37 International Truck--Van Halen

    Installed most of the firewall. Seats came in so I put them in and just sat in them. Makes it a lot more roomy over the og seats in there. 2/3 of the floorpans done. Need to finish the pass side and some small patches on the bottom of the firewall. Clamshell motor mounts are too big...

    Are air bags a good rat rod suspension??

    You say cobble together like it's a bad thing. After all, the definition of a ratrod is you make due with what you have available. I would agree with your assessment. If you have zero fabrication skills and need every bracket to get it to fit you'll spend substantially more. Real world...

    Are air bags a good rat rod suspension??

    This one is super subjective. It really depends on what you are looking for. I have an air ride and experience working on the "kneeling" city busses that use air bags since back in the 80's. In my current vehicle I have an air ride. There are some downsides like mentioned. Leaks, bags...

    New TX Rat Owner

    The Previous Owner owned a rock themed Bar and Grill plus a studio. So this was his inspiration for the paint job. That is why I coined it "Van Halen".

    It'll sit about 1" off the ground when aired out. Rides about 4" if you setup normally. It has air bags and there are stops made to limit how low it goes. rides nice but needs front shocks. made a build thread. I will post more as it goes. Want to hit a show ~80 days away.

    Just bought this 1937 International Truck. It was used as a promo vehicle for a restaurant and sat outside for a few years. Has a new Blue Print Crate 350 393hp/417tq. Not road worthy yet. Brake is where a clutch should be so moving that. Pulled out the interior, removed the hacked in...
