I'm envious!! I love the back country of Eastern Oregon. But, lack of money and a recent surgery will keep me from doing any trips for a while. Please, do a road trip travelogue as since I won't be able to do any back roads this summer I can at least "travel along" in spirit. Also, in a couple...

I have a 1971 that has stock rear wheel wells. If you PM me your address I could tape several sheets of paper together, trace the outline, and send you the tracing. This would be at no cost to you. Don

I don't know much about roll bars, but I'm a paper map nut. In oregon if you go to each Forest Service area and get the fire map you will get all the roads, small included. Even roads that are very small and have berms that supposedly close them (often the berms have been gone around). The only...

Danny, I just finished catching up on your thread. Too bad you had to sell 44, but I can understand your reasoning. My 40 is sidelined because of head problems that I don't have funds to correct. Like the others, I have really enjoyed the pictures and narrative. With a change in your way of...

subzali and 1911 both told you what you probably have for a rear axle, but you also need to know how to tell the difference between semi and full floating rear ends. You look at the rear brake drum center to tell the difference. If the surface is reasonably flat across between wheel studs...

It does me some real good to see you get a machine lathe. I wish I had the place for one, and the money, to be able to do that. I expect that you already know how to operate it. I know nothing about using one, but I sure would enjoy being in your shoes and learning how to use it. It's been over...

Not sure if I heard what you are talking about,but what I heard sounded like air (vacuum?) escaping from someplace. Do you have something that is air/vacuum operated as part of the peripherals on the motor? Don

Putting a family member down is hard to do, I have been there and understand what you went through. Our second Boxer is still with us at 12 years old. I thought we were going to lose him last winter, but he recovered and is going strong again. He is the larger one in my avatar, though he isn't...

A bit off topic, but I like your Boxer, a flashy brindle. Our first Boxer was a flashy reverse brindle, and she sold us on Boxers. They are a real good family dog, and real good and amazingly gentle with little kids. Don

Whether or not a proportioning valve might be needed is a real guess. If you don't use a P. valve and then have to put one in it is a lot of extra work. Why not put one in from the beginning and save possibly having to do the work twice. I put in a P. valve and was very glad I did when I did a...

As always, love those pics. It is worth knowing that many parts in Nevada look so much like Central and Eastern Oregon, with the trees, sagebrush, and scenery. I'm enamored with that kind of land. Your pics really have me wishing I could spend more time there, but I'm in the "green" part of...

The only concern I have would center around support for the carb, and I'm sure you have a plan for that. Vibrations from vehicular travel would require some sort of support for the carb since it is not directly coupled to the carb, and at 90* to it's normal location. Don Ooopps, meant to say...
