Vega Box I have a Vega on my little truck (34) and plan on mounting a saginaw on my A frame because I have one they are basically the same but the saginaw is bigger and heavier.

Thanks for all the info. I was looking at the frame and there are a couple options and I will even look at the yard for some short coil-overs instead of the leafs. I already stretched the frame for the engine and am reversing the firewall so right now I will keep my eyes open. I went through a...

The scene: I have a 26 T coupe I have all the parts for the front (dropped axle, Disc Brakes, ETC) The frame is a Model A that I stretched for my engine which is a punched out 292 4.8 inline. It has an 8.8 limitred slip with drum brakes and a ladder bar set up. The dilema I ran out of money...

The one I picked up was from a 2000 Ranger it has the large 10" brakes and the limited slip. I checked it out when I was buying new rear axle bearings and seals.

I just picked up a Ford Ranger 8.8 drum brake limited slip with 3:78 gears cheap and it is a perfect width for my A framed T coupe.

K-car I have a 35 frame that looks like a K-car front. Any idea how to identify what year ront? How about parts availability? Thanks for any help!

Well the dipstick came in and I am still working on the other ( water pump pulley) but this has been a learning experence. As I said before I just wanted something different and it added a lot more to the build as far as cost. I hope the wow factor comes through. All the suggestions have helped...

L6 The only other thing was the lower end is already assembled so it would be too late to start welding on the block. At one shop I worked at 35 years ago I did the cast repair and we always put the parts in an over to preheat. I don't think I would want to disassamble the motor at this point...

L6 I found a dipstick and tube from autoworks and it is on it's way and Tom Langdon is helping for a timing cover. Also Classic Trucks has contacted me with one of there used parts suppliers. They are both going through there stuff to see what they can find for the water pump pullies and it...

L6 I did send a question to the seller but I don't have an exchange manual. Thanks

L6 Well I tried all the web sites as suggested to no avail. I did find a dipstick and tube for $25 plus shipping so it wasn't a waste of an afternoon. I will post on the want ads here maybe I will get lucky! The classic truck and brothers only have parts for V-8 and the rest have internal...

L6 Well I measured the block and the opening for the tube is 0.350" so if anyone can measure there block tubes it may narrow it down. Thanks for any help.

L6 Does anybody know the diameter of a SBC dipstick tube? There is always a possibility of interchange. I am going to measure the hole in the block later today . As far as brackets it can't be that hard. Thanks and I will start posting on the truck sites for the timing cover. Just so some will...

L6 The toughest seems to be the dipstick tube. Cliffords does not list a timing cover. I have been on EBAY and never see alt brackets and where I live there is no need for AC.

Well I have a 292 L6 4.8 Chevy motor that the bottom is done 0.040 LP gas pistons for more compression. The head has been decked 0.020 BBC valves .550 lift springs and lump ports installed. I will be ordering ARP head studs and then the assembly begins. What I have not been able to do is find...

Thermal solutions I just tried the product from thermal solutions. Just so everybody knows you can get it premixed with paint. I bought one gallon of Velspar neutral oil based anti rust and had them color it to a battle ship grey( close ). I got some of the ceramic cels from Hy-Tech Thermal...

A lot of info! Your truck came out very well and heres hoping you get a lot of miles this summer!

Sure is a nice looking body. So how are the floors? I don't see many early 50's cars around here way too much rust. The availability of SBC beaters are slim here too.

Justed There should be a hyphen! I joined yesterday and this will be my intro. I came here to just work on my 32 Ford pickup and get help when I get stuck. I don't do photoes so I will describe as much as I can. It has a large truck frame from the same era boxed 4" dropped axle(stocker) Disc...
