Working on a 1955 Ford f600 chassis swap onto a school bus. Truck currently has a transmission driven PTO. The bus has PTO provisions, however not sure if it actually has the gear inside or not. Looking around, it’s a pricy endeavor to add a gear if it doesn’t have it, and I havnt been able to...

Hypothetically speaking. If one were to install a vintage truck cab with a gvrw rating of 16,000 lbs on a modern chassis which is rated for over 26,001 lbs, would the driver need a class B cdl? Additionally, if that same vehicle is equipped with air brakes and air suspension, can that driver...

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here. Mostly because life gets in the way sometimes. A lot has changed. I changed jobs a couple times, last time was with a “friend” with his company. Turns out he was a better friend than boss. Then once we worked together, we lost the friendship all together...

Hey guys. Picked up 2 New Yorkers. 1 is a parts car the other is mostly complete. The goal is to make a nice reliable family cruiser that'll fit all 5 of us and still be able to pick up groceries. I got the size of the car right at least. I've been searching for parts on these things and...

Finally bringing home the next project. 1953 Chrysler New Yorker Delux and a 1954 New Yorker parts car. I want to chop the top on the car but the rear window is going to be a challenge. Wanting to hear some input on how you would do it. I'd love to get 4-5" out of the whole thing. Below...

I have a fancy cable on my truck. I ran it for about 700 miles with no issues other than a foul,e of strands around the cable coming loose. Suddenly one night the cable broke free from the set screw. No big deal, stuff it back in and tighten the set screw. This round it lasted about 30 miles...

I've got an old ford tailgate for my project international, cause I can't find an international tailgate easily. I'm thinking of bead rolling "Not A" or "Just the tailgate is a", or anything else witty above the factory Ford script. I only have about 4.5" by 29" to work with and I'd like to...

I have a set of 1935 Chevy Sedan headlights. I am going to retrofit projector housings in the reflector bowls but they are not steel. They look to be copper or brass. Anyone know for sure what material It is? I'm planning on extending the rear of the reflector into the buckets a bit in order...

I'm about to the point where I need lights. Headlights, to me are pretty important living deep in the sticks. I need to see the deer coming :D I've got a pair of headlights from an unknown year Chevy. Anyone know what year these are from? That might help my search for a sealed beam or h4...

To me, glass is a few things. Some of it I can see my pretty face in. Other glass I can see through. Both types are hard and brittle. Glass, like everything, is what it is, till yup really get into it. Take tires for example. To the normal Joe, a tire is a tire. Until you have about half a...

Hydroboost from a 1990 Chevy K3500 Power steering pump from an 80's Chevy p30 step ban with 4bt cummins. Power steering gear from a 79 Chevy c10. Does it matter what fluid I use? I haven't looked into each of these to see what each requires yet.

Can anyone photoshop out the two modern cars parked by the building? I don't care if traces are left behind like shadows or what not. Just trying to get those two to disappear. I can email a full resolution photo if needed.

I made a rookie mistake on day 1 of my project. Picked up my 1950 international L110 from the junk yard. Of course, there was no title that came with it. Being caught up,in the moment of the build, I dragged it home, pulled off the body, chopped up the frame into small pieces and hauled it off...

Probably a silly question to most. This came on my cummins 4bt. I assume it's a GM alternator. It has 2 posts 1 large post marked BAT 1 smaller post marked R. And a ground bolt. Looking to figure out the proper way to wire it. It does not have any spade connectors on it. I assume I need...

I have a spare, fairly good sized transmission cooler. I WAS going to use an auxiliary cooler for the full manual 47re, however I decided to go a different route with my radiator. Went with an eBay 32 ford style radiator which had a built in Trans cooler. I don't want the aux cooler to go to...

I ordered a 28 circuit painless performance wiring harnes for my project and am starting to lay wiring out. I noticed that the "tail section" which contains the tail lights, turn signals, license plate light, backup lights and brake light wires are all located inside the cab. I got the bulkhead...

So I bought a fuel tank for a 68-7? Chevy c10 off LMC. Came with the sending unit. I reached out to LMC truck to get the specs on the sending unit they sent so I can find a gauge to accurately read what fuel level is. They said " I did not have specs available for sending unit 32-4057 other...

Anyone ever get these? Seems like every time I spend any good legnth of time in the shop doing stuff I have a massive headache the next day. Doesn't matter if I have the garage door open with good air circulation or if it's closed up the whole time. Spent about 7 hours last night out there...

1954 Chrysler New Yorker Delux Family Sedan Picking up a couple more cars. I know, before you say anything, I have a plan. You're saying to yourself......"Self.......THIS dude has taken 6 years to finish a simple rat rod! Why the heck is he picking up MORE stuff?! He'll NEVER get em done!"...

I had originally planned on going non power brakes/steering, but have changed my mind. I'll be using hydroboost off a c3500. I have a proportioning valve currently installed in order to balance front/rear. Can I still use the prop valve? Also, I'm keeping the factory drums from the 68 c10...
