>>27611111Missing some wheel nuts and a wheel imagine I'll find them in here
>>27611111Tetanus shots up to date?
>>27611159Got overalls and thick gloves.
>>27611018We had a "32 in the shop that looked almost identical (typical build). Owner brought it in for some refresh work. It was 30 years ago, can't even remember what we did to it.But when we were done about a week later he was out for a Sunday drive. He got sideways through some water on a turn (busted sprinkler head on someone's lawn) and when those rear tires hooked back up the car flipped into a concrete retaining wall.It was totalled.Just something for the guy building the model A to remember. Those old coupes are so light that they do unexpected things. A camry or Silverado would have made it through that turn without even noticing the water.
>>27611171I was actually wondering.Since the body Ines are relatively simple....It would be cool and "somewhat easy" to fab a stebside bed for that thing. Like bob the frame and move the rear axle forward and have the tiniest bed you could fit without the proportions getting too out if whack
>>27611194niggers do it all the time with medium duty trucks here, they even put truck beds on them
>>27611194They've got a step after the drivers side wheel well.
>>27611526
>>27611179Oh, I'm well aware. this truck will be a complete and total death trap with how light it is there's going to be near to no weight on that rear axle
Nashville pull a part. Someone gonna save her?
Man if I had a Ranchero I'd be raping and pillaging, saw a lawn tractor and a few mowers and a weber spirit on the side of the road croosing today.Look at this poor bastard I spotted.
>>27611877If if it was 1000 less miles yeah.
>>27611877fuxk I live in nash but don't have that kind of money on hand right now.
this is why i fucking hate ford. every truck i looked at today had a split or folding bench with either no headrest or removable headrests. what the fuck is this abomination in this truck. the base sits between my shoulder blades and the permenant manlet height headrest contours into the base of my spine. i cannot sit in this fucking hellhole for an hour without developing debilitating neck and back pain. who the fuck thought this was a good idea? ford. only fucking ford. fuck ford
Was hoping to hold off on the engine rebuild until after I got her driving, but it looks like I'll be doing it much sooner rather than later. She's leaking oil and coolant real bad.Also, she doesn't stay running without the choke, so I gotta figure that out too.Otherwise, I feel like I'm making good progress.
does a ford fag know the depth of 96-07 e250 rotor/hubs and if they match with '87-'94 F250 hubs, obviously they have an abs tone ring so not a direct interchange, im looking at an 87 F350 front end but it's a dually, PAP is going to make me pay for hubs and rotors so i'd rather swap them to SRW at the jy if they fit

tl;dr overnight parts from Australia?Finally getting around to checking the bearing clearances on my 351 Cleveland. My machinist told me I did the plastigauge wrong, so I have to do it again. If the bearing clearances are in fact too tight, he said he's going to have to remachine the journals instead of changing bearings, because 351 Clevelands are so rare and parts are hard to find. Apparently Clevelands are abundant in Australia. I've heard so, and every Cleveland build video on YouTube has an Aussie accent. Could I find some bearings from them potentially? How do you gain access to the Australian side of the web?
>>27613152Not sure what your machinist is on about. Clevelands weren't as common as Windsors but weren't exactly rare either.Summit has standard, one, ten, and twenty thous in stock. Maybe his guy just sucks?https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/main-bearings/make/ford/engine-size/5-8l-351/engine-family/ford-cleveland?N=filter-options%3Ain-stock
>>27613206I think maybe his supplier sucks then. Noted. I'll pass that along to him, thanks.
>>27613206It may have been the rod bearings he was talking about in regards to that, though. I haven't checked the rods yet, just doing the mains right now.
>>27613152Aussies took the 351C design and did there own stuff (302C (3" stroke x 4" bore) etc. anyway they kept using them and have a good bit of aftermarket. I see you have 4 bolt main, a variant of one of the 4V engines ? cant remember if they used them in trucks may ("heavy duty")what heads are you running? hardened seats / inserts?
>>27613152>tl;dr overnight parts from Australia?Fast and Furious but Japan?

distributor gear pin sheered on the highway on my way homewhat all possibly could have caused thisi ran the oil pump with the drill and its still sending oil up and i tore the distributor apart and it doesnt look fucked up, it is a cheap cardone dizzy.I dont see any weird wear on the gear.

>>27613979not a classic
>>27613995ill twist your head off nigger
>>27613220I may check with the Aussies then if I can't find anything on summit. It is a 4V engine. It's from and going back into a 73 Ranchero. Had the garbage open chamber heads. I'm going with some edelbrock heads from summit, don't remember exactly which ones. Machinist bumped our compression up to 10:1 with different pistons.
>>27614001you and s10nigger can suck each other off in your not-a-classic thread
>>27614001You heard >>27614158 baby, come here Also, why did you toss the og durashart for a cardone?
>>27614994because a cardone is like 60 bucks and I didn't have one to start with and id never broken one of those cheeseballs before, figured id get away with it
>>27615027oh, well just shove a new pin in it, the gear itself looks fine you ought to see a therapist about your niggerphobia, this wouldnt have happened with a jy unit
>>27615081
>>27615081I think im going to get a pertronix, I believe that some of the problem is the slop in the dizzy shaft to distributor drive gear.I can just barely sortof wobble it, it's a bit shit and ive read that it can cause these pins to fucking shear
>>27615087suck me off alphonse >>27615094could have just gotten over your fear of niggers in the junkyard and wouldnt have this problem, is the cardone out of warranty?
>>27615131>hunting a 351w motorcraft duraspark 2 dizzy in the junkyardget real>warrantyi wouldnt bother, I doubt rockauto would warranty it, I probably bought it last year and put like 300 odd miles on it

Asking here cuz you guys wrench the most.Realistically, what can a tech bro working 9-5 and living in an apartment accomplish in a few weeks? I'd like to fix up an old $<5k S10 or Ford ranger as an ugly n proud camper instead of spending $35k on a new truck, but I don't know what I'm getting myself into.Can a noob realistically "refurbish" an old truck over a few weeks and make it reliable, or do you just have to accept that something major could shit itself at any moment?
>>27615187bayou state sounds like it sucks those rc trucks in your garage nitro?
>>27615192depends and theres really no replacement for experiencemy s10 was reliable only because i was constantly fixing little shit before it broke, i could have gone through excruciating effort to make everything new, but just getting a different vehicle was easier because even on old shit that much effort is rarely necessary the fairmont it replaced just needed new o rings on the tranny cooler lines, every 500 miles or so id pull 2 plugs to clean the oil off, and that motor i knew nothing about barely leaked anything, i actually got myself into trouble pre-emptively replacing brake parts and all the aftermarket for that car was shit quality that didn't work tl;dr just treat a classic car like any used car, dont over do it, reliability is a reflection of personal skill not a mechanical capacity to not fail

>>27617710have a trusty 2000's usa made Hanson left hand drill and extractor set that worked well with penetrant heat. used in similar snap flush bolt on intake exhaust manifolds, and pressure sensor ports, etc. Not sure how well the current chink Irwin sets are but probably still better than HF
>>27617710idk but next time use studsevery time I ever broke one I had to have them torched out.
>>27617710where'd you get your spec? the spec that came with my timing chain said 150 in-lbs, the first bolt snapped right off, googled it and the actual spec was 90 in-lbs
>>27617710Before panicking and gearing up for war, the bolt shouldn't be stuck or anything and tapping the remains out with the corner of a sharp chisel will probably work."Typically, a chisel is placed against the side or edge of a bolt and a hammer is used to drive the cutting edge of the chisel into the bolt to impart rotational force."

>>27622514>Every car I've seen turns out to be a shitbox since they just outright lie about the condition when asked so unless it's priced super low I don't bother wasting my pto to look at a shitbox.Well you shouldn't spend any of your time, paid or otherwise, looking at cars you have no intention of buying. That's just an overall waste of time. Assume that anyone selling you anything used is going to be lying. This is how it goes, especially with cars and houses. Realtors are scum just like used car salesmen and greedy boomers trying to offload their rusted bondo box to some unwitting zoomie.
>>27622686If something was in advertised condition, I WOULD be interested in buying what I look at. Even if I look at stuff priced high above market value in hopes of the premium netting something solid, they are worse than described. If I had a known quantity from someone I know and knew exactly what's wrong, I'd be willing to pay a large premium. So basically unless it's housefire pricing I've become apathetic from getting burned so much. I really just thinking of hunting non runners sitting in yards locally now to avoid the facebook shit.

Pls /o I'm not a poster here but I could use some help. Just took delivery of this 1980 Toyota cressida. It runs, but I can't remove the key from the ignition without getting an obnoxious droning whine. It stays after the door is closed and the car is completely off. Internet got nothing and I searched with different keys words etc etc multiple times. I don't wanna ignore a noise I don't know overnight, and I also have 0 intention of leaving the keys in the ignition overnight.

How did you decide on your classic?Happenstance? Family car? Or did you seek it out?
>>27627133Almost all of them are happenstance. The Fordson 7v was something we saw in the corner of a barn when buying another car, the FIAT 500 was just something my brother was selling so I thought "why not?", and the V8 Pilot was something my dad always wanted, but just never had until some guy we were working with mentioned he knew another guy selling one.
>>27615192My advice to wrenching noobs is to get a workshop manual. Look up manuals for the trucks you are thinking of buying. They’ll lead you through troubleshooting, service and repairs.

Wtf is with Wagoneer prices? After the loss of my expedition, I'm really feeling the impact of not having a full size SUV (explorer doesn't count), so I've decided to consolidate my classic car fetish and full size SUV fetish into a classic SUV. The only 2 things that fit my desires are a K5 and a classic wagoneer/Cherokee. Unfortunately they both suffer from either being just shit boxes for 3k or primo 25k+ restorations. The very few I can find for the same value as my Galaxie are almost always jacked up and won't fit in my garage (or their overpriced shit boxes). Guess selling the Galaxie is the easiest way to go but God damn.>Rant over

>>27639449>Alsooooo my cam measurements were wrong, sooooo probably a bit longer until the engine is runningYou degree it wrong?
>>27639449How are you going about the door cards?(also are you adding any sound deadening?)
>>27639449that is one of the ugliest combination of colors and materials I've ever seen. At least the older Triumphs looked cool, in spite of their godawful quality and reliability.
>>27639595Apparently not pre bending the feeler gauges really throws your numbers off>>27639600I just have a spare set of doorcards?As far as sound deadening, no, I thought about it but frankly the TR7 is a lot less tractory than say a TR6 or an MG. The road noise didn't bother me.>>27640056Its just green over tan anon, I quite like the combo
>>27639449>plaid and greentell us you're British queer without telling us you're British queer
>>27640227The guys trip IS Graying Twink after all, newfag.
>>27640205Ah okay. Gonna have to reupholster my door cards, which just means replacing the back boards in my case.(also, I like the green/brown combo, those other anons just lack class)
