5) Front: OME-418 (COMP) / 60070L & Rear: OME-863J / 60071L, 315/75R16 Toyo Open Country M/T on rims I have yet to identify. No caster correction was done for the 4"+ lift on it, so it is currently very scary to...
The mechanical fan that I have mocked up on my sb400 currently, fits well (clearance wise) but intersects with the path of the outflow from the radiator no matter where I positioned the radiator frame. If i move it to the passenger side as far as I can, or lower it by cutting the stock mounting...
Oh wow you have come a long way with that 40 bud. I bought those hard top sides off you a few weeks ago and was shocked just now when I realized what truck I was looking at in this post. I was going to ask at the time if you had a thread on mud. Awesome work.
Cleaned up and painted my grill.
Front clip mocked up -with the bezel that adorns the underside of my mantle in my living room, as I am currently sanding down and painting the original:
Usual location of above bezel (thanks to an understanding fiance!):
Not sure what all the extra holes in...
Great thanks, I have been compulsively buying it out of fear of not collecting enough before they discontinue the color for some reason. Welding is certainly in my plans, just an issue of time for me at this point. I actually work at a tech institute and build learning sims and activities for...
I hope so. Plenty of torque for sure, I often see this engine referred to as a "stump puller".
Thanks, I will do my best to keep the thread up to date.
Haha only because you spend all your spare time helping me with mine.
When I am waiting for parts, or don't have the time to commit to be out tackling larger issues, I have been sanding and painting(rust reformer then topcoat) things that can fit in my basement:
I wonder how many cans I will need to do the whole truck? (+ primer as well) My local Walmart has...
I have always intended to add a build thread for my 73 ’40 but due to my slow progress I felt like it would be better to put off doing so until I had more to show for it. As time has gone on I have acquired enough photos that I am in danger of never doing so if I don’t start now - not that I am...
I have many assorted 1f/2f engine parts available as I am mid SBC swap in my '40. I have a spare air cleaner assembly , an intake intake manifold , a bag of thermostats, and a more or less fully assembled 2f motor that runs but throws oil out of the exhaust manifold. Anyone is welcome to any of...
Nice 40! Front half was originally nebula green and the tub was pumpkin orange. Is say either of the two or stick with black. Should paint it and that 60 series at the same time to match.
What year is the carb? The checkball might be universal but I have only rebuilt one from a 74 so thats the only reference I have. If I can remember it had a nasty little clip thing at the bottom that held it in and was very time consuming to get it out / back in. Is this the part you mean? I...
Yupp, I already have a 350 lined up. I dont have the shop (or even a garage) or the cash for a major rebuild of a 2f so a quick swap is looking like the way I will go. Maybe someday I will come back to the 2f but finding an engine that doesn't need a rebuild w/ good compression seems to be quite...
