Just gonna keep driving the 350 on a hope and a prayer. Build the 400 the way I want to. After adding up approximate cost to throwing the 350 back together, that money is better spent on good parts for the 400. Plan is being developed.

 

[Bigtanker]

Nah. I'm just gonna go with an old Detroit diesel.

That would be cool. They make 4 cylinder models (6 liters) for generators and industrial use. Might make it a little nose heavy. Just put some big block springs in it and you'll be fine.

After being down for two weeks due to the flu, I am ready to get back in the garage. Time to bleed my new dual cylinder drums and see if she will stop.

Cool! I will catch crap for this, but I've always liked those old Fords. Pretty unique trucks.

Mmmmmmm. Unibody.

1962, the long beds are a bit too long and the short beds a bit too short in this body style. I still like it though

Woah. I never said I would buy one..... I do appreciate them though. Throw in a Chevy engine and then you might have a good truck.

Rusty, just when I thought you were having a breakthrough. ...and you relapse.

You're right.... Sorry... It needs a Poncho engine.

If you have an LS1 to donate, I will take it.

Air ride anyone? Found a leaking airbag on one of my lift axles and am having it changed. This one is compressed. Fully extended it's about 22 inches.

 

[Bigtanker]

Here it is extended.

 

[dung]

I don't have enough compressor to fill that up in a timely fashion.

My 6hp/60 gallon would be pushed as well.

 

[Bigtanker]

This truck/trailer combo has a total of 26 airbags, including the cab bag and the air ride seat. (Not including the driver).

Probably was done in the 70's or 80's if I had to guess. And its FUGLY!!

But I am kinda interested if it was a factory build and if it has a story.
