LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good news I'm keeping the truck. the bad news is the engine is shop..... there's achunk taken out of a piston.

Glad you came to your senses!

Since the flathead is done this would be a great time to think about something a little more modern with more horsepower...a 302/351 conversion perhaps?

 

yep, new topic started. I may even do power steering.

I must admit I was getting cold feet when I started gettin interested folks calling..

 

Wow! Great news Bob...

...um.....er.....I mean about keeping the truck, not about the chunk missing from the piston.

Glad you found a way to make it work

Bye for now, hope you can come back

 

Sorry about that man, the thought of selling my 56 or my street rod either for that matter, kind of makes me ill. I am hoping to leave them to my son. Good luck whatever you do.

 

the kids would have to be starving before i get rid of mine and its still a rust bucket lol
glad your hanging on to it now get it back running

 

Update, I may have a swap on a non-ford engine . The dog house is disconnected only took about 2 hours and that was with me swapping in a different TV in the garage... Although I was cursing at it in the beginning undercoating/tar is great... no rusted or broken bolts... now I just need someone to help me pull it off and put it on the other side of the garage. 2 hrs to pop out the tranny and another hour for the engine.

then the real work will begin ETA... fall? sooner with a ford engine.

glad your keeping her !!!!!!! now as long as that other engine isn't a bowtie you have the blessings of those of us here .............. too bad about the flatty . i adore mine and can , when it comes down to it , think of nothing else i want under my bonnet !!!!!!!!!!

 

Now is a terrible time to sell, but a great time to buy. Keep the truck for a while and see if the economy picks up. In the time being, by a Honda Accord with 150K miles for $1,500. It'll also make a good first car for that teenager if she pays for 1/2 of it! Good luck, Jag

 

1500 for a rice rod ?????? no way ! just do a little shopping around . i've told it a few times now but my 95 4.6 v8 powered tbird cost me 200 bucks . i have now maybe 1300 in it in a year and a half . it's been all over the dain map , gets 20-24 mpg in town if i drive with sense , and has now twice in the last month went dain near 34 mpg on the road . it's american , and yeah , yeah yer furrin junk is built here too , but the ford is still owned by an american co . , it's dependable , it gets good mileage , it's a v8 , and it cost a third or less of a honda !!!!!!!!!!!! i'm looking at a few more of them for some other peeps now .... could have gotten you a sweetheart of a 95 mark 8 last week , blue , gray leather , all the options , 4 valve 4.6 , for the same price of 1500 ............ a lot classier ride too boot !!! just look around and shop wisely . you may have to make a repair or two but in the long run it'll pay for itself ...........
