Very nice. You can't go wrong with an OBS. Of course, I am biased.

More of his work.

Yes. You should see the billet radius arms he makes.

Heading out to the desert this morning for a photo shoot. I shoot for this client all the time; he builds incredible vehicles. We are headed out to shoot what he says is the nicest Ranger he has ever built. That is a high bar considering his previous ranger build. Keith Smith's Ranger was the...

Ethanol fuel stunted my growth.

I am tired of getting 10 mpg from my 460's so I am building an obscure inline 6 motor modified to use newer parts so I can get 11 mpg.

Cool, can't wait to see it.

Somebody's got to go back and get a $hitlo@d of dimes.

You're scaring me. How did you know I was planning on that? My goals for the truck were always simple, cheap, and reliable. The FiTech unit fits the bill perfectly. I like how the ECM is built into the unit. 4 wires and you are good to go. A carb is low tech but I think the benefits of the EFI...

After too many hours spent stripping the awful red paint off the 6 banger, I finally got it painted with STEEL-IT. Much Better! This is their normal stainless steel coating. I also have some high temperature stuff I will be using on my headers.

A friend stopped by with his 1963 GM diesel pusher. It's fully self contained motorhome inside. I love the fine details on this bus. True craftsmanship wherever you look.

Your happy snaps look like brochure photos. :cool:

Don't forget the flywheel.

Today was all about distributors. I learned all kinds of new stuff, including that they weren't messing around back in 53 when they pressed the gear on the shaft. I had to find a new gear and am waiting for it to show up. The new gear still needs to be bored out to fit on the larger diameter...

I think I got them from rock auto. You can check with your local ford dealer. You need the steering column bearings. They are really cheesy looking and feeling. You would think they would be better quality for their importance.

Yikes. Maybe build a shark fin to protect it.

Nice score on the engine and parts. My column bearings got so bad that I thought my PS pump was going out. I rebuilt my column, and was surprised by how easy it was.

Jack your truck up in front until it's fully drooped. Then loosen the coil spring seat until the coil is loose. Now thread it back down until it just makes contact with the spring and holds it in place. Measure the length of the coil at this point. If you have 700lb springs it means that the...

How much preload are you running?

It was a scary yard sale. I had to put the camera down and become a first responder. The driver had a concussion and 2 broken ribs.
