Thanks bob i saw that too. Thats what i ordered the first time, but no luck.

finally i figured it out. After one more trip to the hardware store i found that a 5/8 - 18 bolt treads all the way in by hand so i came home and checked summit again and there it is 5/8 - 18 inverted flare to 6 an. I hate dealing with fittings lol.

Ok guys ive been looking everywhere for a fitting for the outlet on my M6101 carter fuel pump. I bought the 1/4 and 3/8 npt adapters and they dont fit so i went down to the hardware store and couldn't turn anything up there either. Its just a normal old small block chevy but i googled it and...

Ok guys here's the deal, i've got a 76 350 from a Camaro that has been sitting for 4 1/2 years, but, It ran when i pulled it out. In the process of building my truck i throught i would take the heads off and inspect everthing/ clean them up good and gasket match everything, but i found one of...

well i started choping the top and this was my first one and its a good thing i had done so much research on it because nothing wants to line up. now ive got the back tached in place and i think it looks ok but its not perfect.

wow tiny this build is really driving me to finish my truck. i have one this same era and i hope it turns out this good.

So if got the frame done minus the tranny crosmember and i think i turned out okay for my first one. :) but i tired to make a list of everything i needed and quit after about a page so ive got a long ways to go.

ok guys im about to buy my mutha thumpr cam and i pretty much got myself confused looking thru summit. So i figure the best way to get some info to ask you guys. I want to run a hydraulic roller cam in my SBC and dont konw everything i need. of corse i know the basics like roller cam and...

Ok im sure this question has been asked but i can't find anything that will help me out when searching. I bought a 53 chevy pickup for $700. I live in South Carolina and i bought the truck from North Carolina. The guy i bought it from purchased a property that had an old junkyard on it and was...

I thought you guys might like the cinder blocks. Its kind of a budget frame jig.:D No but really i have to just use what i've got laying around. Thanks for the support. Jason

Most of the time i have put into it has been modifiying the the stock frame. The only thing i used out of it are the two rails, i made all new crossmembers boxed the rails and Z'ed the rear 16". I am building my 4-link now and have measured everything about 40 times. I hope it drives straight...

update well guys its been a while since i updated my build thread, so here it is.

So im close to starting my 52 chevy project. I know taxi's and alot of 4x4 trucks run on LPG and i was wondering if anyone here uses it or knows anyone that does. I have heard its higher octane than pump gas and slighty cheaper. It is just so much different and seems really cool. Thanks guys...

alright this is problay a question you guys get a lot, but im going to ask anyway. ive got a small block chevy 355 with a perfomer intake and holley carb and headers Im going for a wild look with this project so i need a wild sound but i need be able to drive the thing. I am open to putting...

How did you do the chop on it? I am working on a 52 and i want to take 5 or 6 inches but with that much chop im worried it might be too much to just lean the windsheid post back. But it makes me a little uneasy cutting across my roof to section it. So if you have any pics or info it would be...
