Have never heard of these. I assume these are the "shocks" this rig is using? Those gold colored things behind the spring look like the Erebus model they have on their website?

Safe travels Richard & Dan. Happy you found a suitable 2nd (3rd?) cool cruiser.

the photo you posted looks different than the '69 specific carb I had (& sold). SOLD - Filter Housing/Intake & OEM Carb from 7/69 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/filter-housing-intake-oem-carb-from-7-69.1278851/ 3rd photo of post #2. Quite sure a member of the forum has the carb now and...

You can shim the body mounts for the tub in the rear....there are soooo many variable fitting body panels on these old trucks. Just have to do your best and not get worked up about things not being absolutely perfect.

What is wild is that Steve Cramer is a LONG standing Ih8mud forum member and vendor (screen name Poser), held in the highest regard. You'd think someone who has been in the game as long as he has would have had the decency to give the project back to the OP so it could find someone with the...

Nothing is confusing. The “1ton” axles first built, photo pasted above in my post, have the 1 ton outer c’s & knuckles, not portals, and use the high pinion fancy 10” ring gear “ford” diffs. Post 16 says 10” gearworks diffs, which is top shelf stuff. The axles in the OP, with portals, have...

10" HP "Ford" based differential in another set without portals.. Probably Gearworks? I would imagine with the Portals, a cheaper 9" diff would be used as its a real waste of money to go with the 10" setup having the torque reduction in the portals.

I recall the ad stating the truck had rolled into a large boulder or a stump and sustained damage that required straightening.

More than 5 months. Nothing wrong with FB, the truck is most likely still listed because it's overpriced and hasn't sold, not because of a lazy seller that moved on with life without deleting their ad after the sale. Was watching this one for a long time and they have not budged on price...

This one really looks worth investigating further for someone looking for a 40 with reasonable mechanical skills….. needs the SBC replaced. Easy work. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1132879985982780/?mibextid=wwXIfr

From Old Man Emu Catalog:

Trying to clear out some stuff I will never use from my hoard. These appear to have been installed, but not used. Soft and pliable, not brittle. Research shows these as being specific to the 45/47 series, and I have to assume they are also specific to the OME brand leaf springs. Enough to do...

South American. NO!
