  1. CHEERS, TO A GOOD FRIEND!!! I will truly miss him. 48Dodger
  2. Its a rental unit, right? Maybe a routine maintenance deal led to a new exhaust being mounted incorrectly? Seems if it can be attached in multiple positions, that's the design flaw. After reviewing some manuals on online, seem all of them have the exhaust angled 45 or 90 degrees of the operator. 48D
  3. I'll need to see more pictures to form an honest opinion........ 48D
  4. Sight hole under the dash? Might be worth investigating it now, then later. Your 1% argument is valid, but as the build progresses, you may find it more difficult to jack the cab up (ie to many things tied up on the firewall, etc) Otherwise, things are looking good! 48D
  5. FB = FaceBook..... 48D
  6. lol......after I just drove my 2012 truck over 40 hours to meet you guys....wow...just, wow. ? 48D
  7. Estrada Motorsports 1948-50 Dodge Trucks: Rear Shackle Removal part 2/2 Estrada MotorSports 1948-53 Dodge Trucks: Rear Shackle Removal part 1/2 These might help. 48D
  8. Three months have passed since I posted the next BBQ......... What could I have gotten done in 3 months?????? GET ON IT!!!!! GET IT RUNNIN'!!!!! Miss you'all......? 48D
  9. That appears to be a 51-53 with the rare VW camper shell package.... So most of the responses were for a 48-50 truck. Sounds like you found a fix. Thumbs up! 48D
  10. I like how the truck is coming together! Is that a round metal table??? 48D
  11. Perfect answer. 48D
  12. That ain't nick picking, that's just your true love showing for these old trucks....awesome that you notice something as simple as that. 48D
  13. Surprisingly no. We were all talking about that.....no critical pts. no vents, no surgeries, no codes.....crazy quiet for that time of night...dumb luck. 48D
  14. Love my 48" deck Graveley zero turn..... 48D
  15. Looks way better with the extenders on! 48D
  16. After you kill the rust you need to dry it out and then seal it with an Epoxy primer. Its high in resin and designed to keep moisture out. Its technically not sandable because of its tough exterior. You are suppose to spray a sandable primer over the Epoxy primer. A good Urethane primer for shaping, then an Epoxy as a sealer (thinned) over that . In the old days, you'd use an etching primer (acid based) but that's not used much anymore. I only use etching primers in areas I can't sand very well (the inside trunks and doors etc) Its acid based which is why most don't use it anymore for complete jobs. Etching primers are thin, and didn't always hold the oxygen out like Epoxy's do now. Epoxy primers come in black......some guys stop right there and call it done, until it needs more black. 48D
  17. Do they have the rubber cap on the end of the support? Most are missing as they rot off etc..... 48D
  18. It affected the Hospital I work at and quite a few of my friends. The lights (power) went out around 12:40 am.....The Hospital had just made the diesel gens state compliant with remote off switches......the state didn't turn the new switches back on after their test and of course, our guys didn't catch it either. The Hospital was dark for over an hour until engineering discovered the mistake. I video'd the whole event from my dept's perspective. Turns out that gets me an invite to the next eval meeting for future power deals. yea me. Hope they got donuts. 48D Battery
  19. Did you push back forth? Maybe knock a non conductive bug out of the way?.... 48D
  20. I will trade you a pair of factory correct chrome plated headlight bezels for it........ No questions asked......straight across....two....(2) shinny headlight ring thingys.... Just let me know...... 48D
  21. It wants me to sign into AOL, Bud..... Not sure what program you're using.... Give me a call and we'll catch up. 48D
  22. John let me floor his dual carb L6 anyway I saw fit on the freeway in the Bay Area....it was impressive. Sanctioned racing is highly regulated, personal builds are not. I'm interested in how Fargone proceeds with his build. 48D
  23. I have several vises....why can't I have a pretty one I keep by the fireplace???? Bid entered. 48D
  24. Build it, race it, if you don't win, rebuild it, race it until you win. Then sort out the good numbers. To much talking and not enough racing. Good luck with your build Fargone, enjoying your documentation. 48D
