Very nice job. There aren't any others close by me, so I always like to see pictures of how my 49 is "supposed" to look. Dave
I read a post where a guy wanted to build the transmission hump into the flat floor pan, he said he bought a small metal "cake" baking pan (come...
here's a link for the carter yf manual if you want to rebuild it yourself. Classic parts sells the rebuild kit. It's really not that difficult a...
My 49 3100 was running with the stock wiring but the battery continually drained and there was so much exposed wire due to cracked and missing...
I replaced one in my 49 1/2 ton a while back. As I recall, I had enough access to the front and back side that I didn't have to pull the hub, but...
Selecting the right clutch seemed to be one of the most confusing parts of the t-5 swap. The issue is that the size (diameter) of your stock...
The Nate's answer deals mainly with problems in the shifter housing, making sure it is well greased and properly shimmed. In my case (three on...
I was thinking about the same problem and was looking through the Classic Trucks magazine (or something like that) when I noticed an advertisement...
Shoot, I was hoping someone would know what the degree should be. You're correct on how to measure the toe-in, but I don't know the degree...

here is the link for the Chevy Duty Metal Replacement with no hole for the transmission shifter. It should be easy to use one of your rusted ones...
You're right about the brakes Zig, they'll be fixed before the truck comes off the jack stands. Tailgater, the engine certainly sat for many...
Ouch, that's some rust. Chevy Duty and several other old chevy truck parts companies (I'm not sure I can list their names here) offer entire...
If you can't find the cable stops at a FLOPS, I think Chevy Duty or J** C***** sales them, I bought some a while back. Dave
I agree that an engine rebuild now would be the best thing if I could afford it. However, I've been driving it between "fix-it" projects over the...
That really sucks. Don't be too hard on yourself, we've all had that type of thing happen to us at one time or another (at times I'm really...
Well, I've pulled the rear axle & drive shaft, rear suspension, and transmission in preparation for a t-5 tranny swap on my 1949 1/2 ton. I've...
