From the beginning I have always wanted the interior of "Henry" to appear very close to stock.....stock seat, stock wheel and column, etc. About the only thing visible from the windows is additional temp gauge that I am using since I added the SBC. With the addition of air ride this winter, I...

Henry's wiring is become a nightmare. Partial original wiring with stuff added on when I went to 12v, and then again when I added the SBC. What is the most painless rewire kit? If there is such a thing. Stock truck with electric wipers, stereo and amp, electric cooling fan, HEI and SBC...

Looking to update the suspension on Henry. New leaf springs and mounting shackles, etc. Looking at stock springs, as well as lowered springs from Eaton. Obviously ride quality is subjective. Can anybody compare ride quality for stock vs lower springs?

Henry is back on the road with his new SBC.....now it is time to freshen up that suspension. My old leaf springs are sacked out and shot. What is the best (Cheapest??) source for replacement springs, shackles, etc?

My memory sucks some days. Seems to me I remember a rubber bumper on the brake pedal for when it comes up to hit the firewall. Am I dreaming this up? I cannot find it in any catalogs.

I plan on building my own exhaust for Henry. The local shop wants waay too much to do it. Can anybody recommend a good sounding muffler? Nice rumble but not too loud or obnoxious on the highway.

I acquired a low mileage 350 and TH 350 set up over the weekend and am looking into what it will take for the install. Running stock front suspension with a Sid's front axle. I have an updated rear end already. Runnin a 3.43 out of a 1994 Blazer 4 x 4. Who makes the most painless cross...

Still on points in Henry and want to update. Pertronix Kit or a HEI distributer? Stovebolt? Thoughts or advice??

A couple trucks I saw yesterday at Back to Fifties. http://smu.gs/12i97tc

I picked up a set of tube headers from a 235. Not much of a story behind them.....but the price was right. Can anybody help identify them?? I plan to install them in a mild 261 build. Thanks

I picked up a running (supposedly) '55 261. Motor #3733950. I also picked up a 235 with a bad lower end. The 235 has the good 848 head. I also got a set of Fenton headers. Besides that I am looking for some advice on cam, intake, ignition, carb etc. On a budget of course...

For some reason my temp gauge is no longer working. It had worked in the past.....but lately I have not ran it long enough to raise the engine temp. Last night I ran it for quite awhile in the driveway and the needle never moved. I do not have a IR gun to check it.....but it was...

Saw this one Facebook.

Wood1 sent me some sweet rear lights, but I am puzzled. Can I set these up for all three functions and eliminate my seperate blinkers? Thanks guys!!

Help me out with some suggestions for 16" wheels. 5" or 6" wide, 5 by 4-3/4" pattern. Does anybody make artillery wheels in 16" Hoping to be below $200 per wheel with caps. Not set on running caps, but leaning heavy that way. If I run caps I want them like the ones below since they are...

I am using the stock rear brake pedal on my 49 with an upgraded master cylinder, prop valve and disc brakes in the front. I was sitting in "Henry" tonight and wondering why the damn brake pedal has to sit so far off the floor. It is about 9-1/2" off the floor. It sure would be alot easier to...

Struggling with some water pump woes and could use some insight. When I fired "Henry" up from his 30 year slumber, the water pump was leaking though the pulley seal. No big deal, I had a spare pump that came with the truck. I installed that pump and it also leaked. I ordered a new pump...

Anybody interested in an old truck calendar? It was brought up to put one together. Rather than use all my pictures, I would like to see some other members submit some and put it all together. Probably looking at about $30 shipped. Thoughts?

My radiator is leaking........curious if anybody has luck trying to repair these or if I should just replace it. Is there a cheap alternative. Our host has them for around $350.
