Hey Zig. I don't update very often, and haven't posted a single pic, but last week I finished blasting and priming the cab, less doors, of my 50...
A friend of mine put a small ice chest in there... for Sodas. Tool box is a good suggestion too.
Follow up question? I changed out the kingpins and bushings on my G, and afterwards someone asked me if I greased the thrust bearings..... Duh!!...
If you had the distributor out, I suppose it could be 180 degrees out on the timing? If your TDC is not on the compression stroke, it just spins...
Robert, I looked back at some of your other posts, and I see that you probably got the #1 cyl on TDC, and looks like VWNATE steered you on the...

I'm pretty sure you can convert from pos ground to neg. You have to 'flash' the field of the generator briefly to produce a residual magnetism of...

The bolt broke right at the end of the threads, i.e. all the threaded part appears to have come out and left the smooth part behind...
Hi Guys. I went to change the rear axle bearings and seals and when I removed the lock bolt from the pinion retaining shaft, (hope Ive used the...
Hey Guys! I've been away, but I'm back now. I got a good grille surround and hood for my truck, so now it's gonna be built as a '50 Jimmy.......
