    Low $$$ Willys truck rebuild

    S-10's used one piece driveshafts only on regular cab short box trucks. The regular cab long box or extended cab short box configurations always used a two-piece driveshaft because of the extra length. I know on my extended cab '87 (see avitar pic) the hanger bearing falls directly underneath...

    The Puzzle replacement

    Swapping in the newer one piece glass was an "avant garde" mod back in the day, I understand. With all the new smoothness there, probably would look nice with the one piece. HOWEVER, keeping the original two-piece windshield would sure be different on a kustom... Dunno, your sled, your call...

    New build thread; time to build one from scratch!

    Nope. Nothin' close, bang on the money. Generic Electronic Modules can be used in a similar fashion to relays to control different electronic accessories or components... Hence "generic.";) Full wiring diagrams would most certainly be an asset. If you have some time to kill, drop by your local...

    Sandblasting Safety

    www.princessauto.com/pal/product/8223794/Abrasives/50-lb-Greengrit-Crushed-Glass-Blasting-Abrasive This is the stuff I was thinking of using... Any better than silica sand? Seems that as far as cartridge respirators go, I can choose between ones for fume protection (oils, spray paints) or...

    Sandblasting Safety

    Curious what all you rodders are using for breathing protection when blasting? I've tried Google, but there's a lot of conflicting information out there...[S I checked out a "sandblasting hood" at Princess Auto (like Harbour Freight here in Canada) the thing looks to me like it would be...

    36 Ford truck on Ranger

    WOW!!!:eek::cool: One of my uncles had a '36 peek-oop back when I was a young lad. Was metallic green with black fenders, 350/350TH, open drive, stock front axle and unsplit wishbone (tranny pan didn't like the contact ;)). Looks like the Ranger underpinnings fit quite nicely under...

    CRAZY!!!!:eek::D:cool: Your kid gets mad when you don't wait for her to start working? You're the luckiest kind of Dad ever!:cool: Lookin' GREAT so far! I was picturing leaning the rear edge of the sail panels ahead to line up when you lowered the roof... I like that you're stretching them out...
