If you're not familiar with them, you will want to educate yourself on the brake system
Oh man! That's a bummer, hope you're healing up ok, the last time I banged my head I looked like Frankenstein for a few days, and was off (more...
Didn't Dodge also use 15x5.5? I seem to recall mounting Dodge Ramcharger wheels on one of my F150's, but it's been 30 years or so.
Does the Colorado have the oddball 6 lug bolt pattern like my Trailblazer has? It's a little smaller than the 6 lug pattern Chevy used for years.
There is a new Scat 428 crank for sale on KSL.com, at $400.00 for those who might be interested. (I'm not affiliated or associated in any way,...
For some strange reason, I have always wanted to use Harley tombstone taillights on a '49-51 Mercury.
The scuttlebutt going around says the TFS heads are now out of stock, and will be going up in price if and when production resumes. Nothing...
Don't forget, the C6 can be rollerized, dropping its drag down to E4OD levels, although it will still be without overdrive. Anyone that is going...
Fab some horizontal extensions from the grille shell outward?

Yes! That poor thing has been going downhill ever since they tubbed it, yuck!
Cool you found the "105" shot, I was gonna head outside and take a pic, but will just stay in where it's warm. Something else to remember is the...
The "mirror 105" blocks have that cast into the block on the left front, instead of the "352" numbers that were found there on earlier ones....
No, you fellows are correct, now I'll have to actually look hard at the '76 engine I have here.
I've had my f250 since 2001, so we are pretty good friends by now. Someone put the stick on stainless panels that were so popular back in 1984, on...
This I remembered late last night after posting, and is another reason to leave them to the resto crowd, along with most 427's. I believe '68...
If you're going to go with an OEM accessory drive system, I would look for something complete, '70's pickups with AC will give you that. As far as...
I have the paperwork for my '59 Chevy 36 stashed away somewhere, so no pics, but it was purchased new in Evanston, WY by a guy from Rawlins named...
OEM aluminum intakes are pretty pricey, look for exhaust crossover burn-through on those, a factory tri-power will perform nearly as well as a CJ...
Definitely fix the door before the fender/rocker/door gap. Personally, I would let it be, they were always outta whack there when new.
This is great, because I have a FoMoCo A/C idler that could use a new bearing, thanks to all for the info.
All Right Scoob! good luck on your quest!
"OFFENHAUSER", by Gordon Eliot White, is a pretty good book on Offy engines and history. Probably long out of print, but shouldn't be too hard to...
For about 10 or 15 years, everything I wanted to buy that I could afford was blue, with a blue interior. I wound up with two pickups, a full size...
I'd build it!
I have to admit to being converted to a naysayer when I saw pictures from NSRA's 1970 Peoria event. There was a car there with a body that looked...
Youch, man that hurts just thinking about it! Take good care of yourself and hoping you get well soon!
Cool! I was somehow expecting a rusty project @lothiandon1940 might take that single fog lamp off your hands, to fix up his.
His humor is sarcastic, and perhaps a bit ironic also. He likes louvers, as long as they're tasteful, like yours are, and not overdone.
I really like that '57, and I also really like this plan. Ive always thought the '57 was the best looking of the Dodge (Fargo) pickups.
