I picked up a 34 cab the other day for $50 and it needs ALOT of work. Being a 34 truck and all, I figured I couldnt pass it up for that price. So basically I was hoping that someone out there that has a similar cab could give me a few dimensions so I can try and get this thing squared up and...

I have had my granpa's 50 ford ford about 5 years now. I was given this car only months before his passing. Back in the 80's he restored it and drove the crap outa it ! At some point in late 90's or early 2000 he more or less parked it and it just went to a "old washed up,has been" or at least...

Just wanted to jump on here and let you guys that dont already know...stay AWAY from the holly/ford 94 rebuild kit from speedway motors. Everyone knows you get what you pay for and this kit is no exception. I ordered everything to completely overhaul my 50 ford's carb. Carb kit/throttle...

Well,for the past 3 years I have been trying to get a master cylinder for my 50 ford. The original has been rebuilt so many times over the years that it wont even take a kit anymore. I at one point got a quote from a machine shop to sleeve it, but at $300 I thought they must have lost there mind...

So I have been messing with the 46 truck,(not enough to make my build thread) I am debating on a red frame with a black body,or a black frame with a red body.....It seems every thing on the road today is flat black with a red frame,or red wheels and I am not a follower by nature,BUT to me there...

So over the last few days we have been doing some serious cleaning around my shop.The building has been in the family for many years,and nobody ever put any thought into it's age,or history. I am somewhat of a treasure hunter when it comes to old house places,houses,buildings.Now my shop is...

I ordered a WoodWard Fab model a couple months ago from Summit Racing for I think $129.95 plus a little shipping.
