I'm 6'5" (might be shrinking now as I age) and about 230. I found some leather bucket seats from an 2008 subaru outback. Heated and driver side is electric. I like the electric as I can position the seat all the way back and then also up and down.

with that same set up, I have experienced the same issues, finally have it pretty much under control. Mine was set up w an electric fan, changed that out to a larger one, replaced radiator w a bigger one, insulated fuel lines, and added a spacer under the carb. The last 2 helped greatly w the...

referring to picture #2......... damn, I didn't know Santa drove a 40

Having a little fun w the 40 for the summer........ making it my fishing rig. Nothing permanent here, a vinyl wrap and "hood ornament" going into existing holes in the hood. Also have installed an irish tweed head liner that I'm loving, but have not taken any great pics yet of that...

Thoughts...... I have a Deyoung rainbow trout wrap that I am.planning to put on the hood, took this old cheap fly rod that I had forgotten about and a reel that was shot and built this hood ornament. The holes in the hood were already there. Need a longer bolt in the back to get the cork off...

at 82 MPH these would be my words........

have the opportunity to buy 2 winches. The first is an older Warn Model 6000, does not work, missing parts, including the motor. Price is $50. The second appears to be more complete, though the seller is unsure if it works as taken from salvage. It is a Warn Model 5687, the price is $250...

it takes a bit of fabrication time, but I found a wrecked subaru outback w leather heated seats, power on the drivers side. I think I paid $150 for the set

I kind of "mowed" my phone yesterday........as soon as the new one arrives, I will get on it

last fall I swapped out the front to disc brakes......... now my wife is saying i have to get rid of all the extra parts laying around. Does anyone need / want them? Free but for the cost of shipping. Guessing they go in the dumpster if not. Posting here rather than in classifieds, I...

I've not driven one w an F, but I have absolutely no issues with my sbc, lots of power. If it goes out, don't think I would consider anything but another one.

Just had mine powder coated. Amazed at not only the quality, but also the price. Front bezel, all latches on the hood, front windshield hinges, door hinges, tailgate latches, both doors and a jerry can holder, $500. I chose a satin/flat black w texture that also is a color they run through...

pardon me for being an idiot....... this is the way my 40 looks, I can't help but think i'm missing some sort of cover? Am I right and if so, what should I be looking for? 350 sbc w a 3 speed on the floor

mine looked in similar condition........ I filled scratches and holes w epoxy, sanded smooth, then did the cygnus white version of monstaliner on top. Not sleek and glossy, but w a rack under it I feel it works.
