well it looks like the flathead 6 is coming out and v8 power replacing it. is there any interest in the old motor? Dave

here is a current shot of truck. Dave

thanks for the info. :D time to add some mounts to it.[;) Dave

does it matter which side the shorter side is on, driver vs. passenger? Dave

I got a question for the experts. I picked up a 9" ford rear end. I thought with one side wider than the other (axle longer on one side) the rear end had to be cut down with the center not centered even thou the yolk is offset anyway, thought the hub would need to centered. when talking to...

I was very surprised to see it, can't believe the number of times I looked for it. sign of my age and forgetfullness??? now to figure out how to mount it. wires sticking out the back, maybe mount on a couple of thick rubber spacers. Dave p.s. I got a new round aluminum gas tank ready to...

my christmas present came early this year. Last night when my son, Eric was pulling out the old fake lighted tree, he found the previous mentioned lost wire harness. yeaaaaaaaaa!!!!

looks like your one hell of a fabricator, moving fast on your build. Love the look of the old flat fender jeeps. Looking forward to new picts/progress. Dave

torchie, thanks for the quick reply. knew there would be a catch to using stock gauges. Dave

looking for opinions on the stock gauges for this truck. still have not done the wiring to try to start the flat head 6. If I use a stock guage set up that was originally 6 volt on this truck does it make a difference with the gauges? I was thinking that the ballast resistor would reduce the...

Joe, I love this idea with your truck hauler, ramps mounted on each side. Would make a temporary bed. Dave

When I bought my truck, the seller gave me an extra front fender section. The grille was in better condition than mine was. I dug into mine and broke off a few bolts a day for the past week. My cutting torch has problems so the easiest solution for me to get off the rusted bolts was to tighten...

thanks for you guys input. the builds on this site are amazing, a group of very talented builders. I'm slowly getting this project done, the operative word for me is 'slow'. It does help for the solutions to problems thou, time gives you a lot of room to think out solutions and makes for a...

My next hurdle is the wiring, my weak point. I've been studying, coming up with parts and a plan. Hopefully it will work out. A little bad news was the center gauge cluster, didn't know exactly how they come out kept prying on the edge until the glass broke then the speedo bit the dust. Looks...

Just a quick add, finally finishing up the support for the wood bed. I needed a couple additional steel supports at the center area. Found some thick round stock at the local steel yard. Added some angles at each end for support. I wanted these two to be removable, didn't count on the bed...
