Well, this a rolling chassis now as I am knee deep in rust repair. Just driving it more regularly helped some but since I have better access to the motor I am going to pull the head and swap out the gasket so I’ll be able to see if it was leaking there. I have to wait another month or so, it’s...

Thanks for the photos, this does help.

Thank you , that 3rd photo is what I needed to see. This is very helpful.

Doing rust repair and am working in the area of where the B pillar would meet the floor, except mine is gone on that area. Does anyone know or have photos of what happens on the back side of the B pillar as it moves past the mid-bed area? Is it a square tube shape or a u-Shape? I’ve attached...

Thanks Matt, still going, slowly but still going

Thanks for the encouragement. I’m going to check your thread out. I’ll start one this month.

Hi. I’m trying to remove the tub from the frame and am almost there but …Does anyone have any advice on removing the steering box from the linkage on a 1972 40? This has the 3 speed on the floor. I’ve unbolted the steering box and column at the dash and it seems to have two ways to remove the...

Thanks I appreciate it. thanks a lot. Those pictures are really helpful. I think I’m going to bolt and weld. Thanks again

Hi. Working on replacing a portion of my drivers side rocker. At the front of the rocker where it meets the cowl there was a bolt that fastened through a threaded plate (photo below). Does anyone know what these threaded plates are called or if they are sold? The original was just a bundle of...

Do you still have any of this? If so can you pm me? Thanks
