when measuring the bolt circle on a 5 bolt hub, hook the tape measure on the outside of the 1st stud, and measure to the center of the third stud.

Needing help!

A few more things I need help on. Still like to know some of questions above. How do you tell if this 9 inch is big bearing or small bearing. Another question from what you see being built here weight coilovers should I be looking for.

Thanks for help!

if your going to use the rear leaf spring like you pictured on the other page you don't need coil over shocks. you would just need shocks.

I don't know much about axles or fords. the bearing your speaking of is the one axle bearing by the wheel end. I would think you could pull the axle again and measure the bearing and find something on the www.

I love watts links & this truck was built on RRR.
If I understand right, a trailing arm/watts-link rides pretty well.
With the 9" you could actually weld the center mount to the rear cover & not have to put in a removable mount like they did.

I'm sure springs & shocks will be a factor in that.

Guide 682-C Head Lights

I got one of two Guide 682 -C headlights sets I've recently purchased delivered today. This is the nicest original set I've ever seen. They have spent the atleast 45+ known years stored away in an heated attic. There perfect, no rust, no dents, none, original paint.

Those are sweet!

I honestly never thought I'd say this to another man but, nice headlights! Lol

If you could have just seen the fuzzy pictures I purchased them from. I was hoping they were as described. They are now prized possesions for sure.

New Toys

The Holliday’s, pc problems, camera downloads problems, it’s been a few weeks since I've got to post, but the work on the car has continued. My next purchase was a good deal on a unused set of iron World Products Victor Jr. heads. I’ve been porting on them cleaning up casting flaws and gaping them open to breathe. Its still going to take a few more days of porting and cleaning them up to get them where I want them to be.







I have alot more to come in the next few days.

351 short block

I found a 79,000 mile 351 windsor motor and plan on using the short block as is. All of the cylinders look very nice and still have a lot of original hone showing.

I'm a little behind but thought I would say, NICE LIGHTS!!
