Hi everybody!I've been learning a lot about this truck lately, and my current maintenance item is to fix the shifter. A spacer had worked its way out from between the shift arms in the column, which wreaked havoc up in the shift collar and flange (7228, 3911).So, I got new spacers...
My friend was showing me his "for sale" bicycle collection and when I saw this '58 Schwinn Hornet I just had to have it. A week later here we are! He restrung the wheels and did the bearings and whatnot. He tells me it's missing the headlight, rear rack and faux gas tank and has a couple...
Hey, guys. I don't know about you but I really enjoy vintage ads and have collected things from a '52 ish Oldsmobile fold-out poster to a 1973 Datsun 610 ad to a 1996 GM EV1 electric car brochure. Here's a 1961 Super Duty ad I recently scored at a local antique store.full sizeAnd some more...
Maybe you guys remember this failed thread. Well, I said screw it and used some old photos. From those and some other reference images (notably a 3rd gen F100 on BaT), I concocted some widened steelies, wrapped them in stretched rubber, mixed well and baked for 7 hours.This is what I want my...
I was thinking of making a quick 3D computer model of my truck to experiment with stance and wheel options, but I can't find any blueprints to work from. Looking for something like this, with at least side and front.I usually use www.the-blueprints.com for all my blueprint needs, but they...
I haven't been around in awhile. Thought I'd stop by and say what's going on.First of all, last fall I went driving with a friend (guy friend, settle down) and when shifting into 3rd, I heard a strange grinding sssdhdhchcchchchchchtthhthktkthchchc noise. This happened a couple times, so I...
I went to Sno*Drift 2010 in norther Michigan last week. It was the ish. Here are some pics. Sorry for the image quality; I was shooting 800 iso film in the snow, and that does not lend well to colors or correct exposure.First off, Ken Block was there on Friday with his new Ford Fiesta, but for...

Long story short, a few years ago I had to replace a broken pushrod. When I went to the auto parts store they couldn't find my truck spec in the correct year. Ive got a 1965 352. They had to look in 1964 to find the right gaskets.

I was exploring the abandoned Packard plant in Detroit, which has been vacant for 30 years (the plant, not the city ahahahaha!). Anyway, there was this 4th gen dump truck there that somebody pushed off one of the upper floors.panorama in high res...
Well my friend's dad has a ranger and it sustained some damage. I don't have the whole story but the fog light is no longer existent. The bumper is fine now, but he needs a new light. I'm too lazy to slosh through all the JC Whitney's on the interwebs, so I thought you guys might get me an...
I'm doing a photochop of my truck and wondering if anyone has some good straight-on pictures of the appropriate widened steel wheels. If they're flat white that would be awesome, but I can change the color of other flat colors.FYI, I'm planning on doing low profile tires on the wheels, space...
