Fun stuff. Thanks for the posting.

Oops I didn't look close enough. You ran the tube through the manifold and the return line from the back along the manifold. Blind as a bat. Steve

Nice truck! I always liked Internationals. In my research the common thread was the manifold should be heated. I assumed the headers would do the job but now the heat from the engine water will probably be necessary. I originally planned on a SS tube running through the manifold end to end...

I had a similiar problem with my daily driver and it has an overflow tank. I pressure checked and did everything I could think of and last but should have been first I replaced the radiator cap. I felt like an idiot. Not to say this is your issue but some times the obvious isn't. Just a...

Now we are talking. That looks great and I am glad it works well for you Bob. Thanks for letting us see what you have done. My issue is I am trying to use Carter YF carbs and I am having a bit of trouble tuning them. The Blue Flame six I believe used a set of carbs like the Corvair used...

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the info.

Inlines forever! Don't get me wrong I like all engines but if you don't want to make cheap horsepower then the six is the way to go. Great truck.

I forgot to mention it is LOUD.

Well I am trying to get back to the site more often. The truck is layed up now because it needs some repairs and modifications. Right now I am remodeling and additing to our house and shop. When (if) I ever finish this project the first thing is to make repairs from the miles I have put on...

Hello all As I mentioned I am back from a very long long break but haven't forgotten the great folks who haunt this forum. On the last post (2011) I mentioned the tri-power I hoped to use on my truck. Now many years later here are some pictures of the stuff I have put together. Please don't...

Yah! A man after my own heart. The 292 is great and looks like it will get right on down the boulevard. Around here I find it is about 20% of the car folks approve of a inline 6. Can't make horsepower yada, yada, yada. I like it because it is different and does the job. Granted you can...

Hey guys it has been a number of years since I have been active in this forum. This is the place for those of us who do not buy but we build. I built my 1937 (really a 1936 cab) and finished it in 2012. I have driven the wheels of it and now it is outside under a car cover collecting more...

I am back Hey all I have been catching up on all the stuff we HAVE to do in life. This year it has been very hot up here in the NW. My truck does not really like the heat. I doesn't overheat but stays real close. As I suspected the Mustang radiator is marginal. I hate spending big money so I...

Very cool Hoitink I have seen a bunch of COE's and this one is right up there with the neatest. This site never ceases to amaze me. The ingenuity, skill and wild designs abound. Keep up the outstanding work. Want to see more from you. Steve

Outstanding I never really liked most of those 70's campers.:eek: I have now changed my mind.:) Hope you enjoy it even more when you have a rusty truck to pull it. Great job! Steve

Famous now? Congratulations guys! It is great you have gotten recognition for a job well done. I like the red oxide (suede?) and the tailpan/tailight treatment. Looks good. My truck is put away for the winter. I may start working on the headers/intake this winter. I have to finish a '38 Chev...

Backglass Hey guys: I can attest to the getting caught in a thunderstorm. I was coming back from a local event and unfortunately followed it home. I decided then and there that the backglass was a necessity. It was not very painful or expensive. I posted my process in my thread if you are...

Rear window stuff Hey all I finally installed a rear window in my cab. Here is the story. The first thing I did was to make a glass pattern using some thin plywood. As I was making the pattern I put the seal around the wood (without cutting the seal) and kept trying to fit it in the opening...

Good conversion for "old school" Hey guys. Thanks for reading the thread and I am glad you were able to glean some info from it. I am happy with the end result. I have not gotten the front to rear bias set right yet but I really have just been driving and not setting. We have been having some...
