My seat in that area is different. It was spot welded to that edge
-
I’m with you. This isn’t going to be a show truck by any stretch. Getting a good gap on the hood so I think I’m going to leave it alone.
-
Thank you! This is my first time doing a floor replacement but the truck has had many. I think I’m 1/8th” out of level side to side. Trying to decide if I should cut my welds from the pillar to the floor and try to fix it.

Made new cab mount. Decided to plug weld it in since I don’t have great access to run a bead underneath

Spend some time putting some floor panels in today.

That’s perfect thank you very much!

Good morning I have purchased replacement floor pans for my 51’ Dodge. The floors had been replaced/ patched before. Can anyone post some pictures of your front cab mounts (original). I don’t have enough of the original metal to know how they should be.
-
Both of your setups are nice and clean! I checked out the vintage power wagon site. Lots of good stuff. Pricing seams fair too!
-
Thank you I missed the clean air inlet part. I assumed you had a venting oil cap

Is anyone running a Pcv valve instead of a blow by tube? I found this piece in my pile of collected parts. If so do you have a part number of the Pcv valve you use and do you plumb it to the vacuum port in the intake under the carburetor?

Need some advice on exhaust manifold. The 265cu in manifold has a broken flange. I have a good manifold off of a Canadian 218 cu in but the port is 2” vs 2 1/2” and the tube seemed to be much larger on the 265 manifold. Should I try and repair the flange or use the 218 manifold? Also I chose to use the head off the 218 because the combustion chamber was 0.130” shallower than the 265. It was identical in every other way. No valve clearance concerns I checked.

I have another flywheel if it give me issue I can have it professionally surfaced
-
I’m happy enough with the Final Cut to try it in the truck
-
It’s definitely not the most effective method but it does seem to be working only one little area spot left
-
That could very well be true. This is my first time trying it. If it doesn’t work I’m only out a carbide tip.
-
cleaning up the flywheel today. Almost have the heat damage cut out
-
Started back on my project. Did a refresh on my 265.
-
I have no experience with them but have you considered a Painless wire harness? Obviously if your looking to keep things original looking they are not the way to go.
