If I may ask are you wanting to paint it for aesthetics or for protection? With these trucks the rad is set so far back from the grill and with the brush guard in front of that you really can't see anyway. The aesthetics are an issue with 65-66 mustangs when you install aluminum rad's because...

Yeah getting this done ASAP is a must. My business is virtually shut down without this truck. That being said I think the smart move would be to just bite the bullet, buy new, and call it done for the rest of my life. Money's tight right now so I was hoping to find just a short block sense my...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GcQPwwIubk So this is from a cold start. You can hear the air rushing into the oil pan when it's cold like this. And you can see the blow buy build up.

So after a 200 mile trip with blow by it's now good & fried:deadhorse:. So it's bottom end time. My question is should I go with a short block or a whole long block? My current heads are 6.5 new replacements and only have about 20,000 miles on them. I've found several long blocks on line just no...

Dude, all us kids were playing nice here and you had to come in and throw a troll tantrum.:shrugs: I contribute daily to this forum helping others fix their trucks reducing their cost & headache to the best of my ability. And yes I try to keep the mood light and add some humor to my...

Yeah I'm shopping for a fitting for my compression tester. I think I found one on Ebay for $25.00.

:funny:Mom always told me I'd be special!!!!!!!!!!! :drool:I'll have to try turning it over with the fuel shutoff disconnected. It runs perfect otherwise.

Yeah it's excessive

Coolant looks fine this time. Clean and level is steady. Temperature is also steady.

So over the past couple days I've bin getting a lot of blow by coming out of the top of the fill cap. It goes away once revved up, you can see it being pulled into the Banks filter housing. I've cleaned both the CDR valve and the air filter. My question is.. Other then bad rings, could this be...

I'll admit the flat black looks good. But I've grown to love the faded camo on my M1028. It hides dirt, scratches, and imperfect bodywork.

The Sheriff's department welded this span metal to the brush guard of my M1028. I didn't like it at first but it's grown on me.

Well I finally replaced my leaking steering box. That was less then fun, pretty fiddly to do by myself and the new box had one of the bolt holes threaded crooked.

I've said this more times then I can count:deadhorse:. If you not willing or able to do ALL the work yourself then your wasting your time and money owning a classic vehicle. Driving an old vehicle is a privilege that can only be earned, not bought. 2cents:beer:

Safelite is $207.00 installed. I think I got a quote locally here in GA for $160.00.

Well if as you say your losing a quart every 100 miles, and the starter is full of oil. Then the logical answer is the 30 year old rope rear main seal is leaking. I would just change it regardless, and check it off the list of leaks you'll be chasing anyway. As Bighorn said sitting rots seals &...

Agreed, perfect answer:beer:

From you of course, thank you Sir. Yeah it's bin a while sense I've done sheet metal work so it was fun playing with this little pet project.

Though I'd show off my sheet metal skills with this fuel door install. In preparation for a secondary fuel tank.

From what I can tell it looks like a 42 tooth driven gear. http://www.tciauto.com/tc/speedometer-gear-calculator/
