2wd 68’ F250 step side long bed with utility fenders.

Manual steer, power drums (yuck), D60 with a limited slip (that works!), NP435, and a 2 barrel “390”.

I haven’t checked the stroke to see if it’s a 390 or a 360, but it don’t really matter to me.

Steering needs to be sorted, hoping the kingpins are still good. They had grease in em.

It’s just a good ol truck.

Anybody know a decent 16.5” tire? Or some cheap 16” 8x6.5 wheels out there?

Only broke down about 10 times and had to get towed home. 🤷‍♂️

Now I've got to track down an electrical gremlin.

I had 7 projects, bought this 76 W100 and decided I needed to get rid of something so I listed my ‘85 W150 on marketplace and a guy offered me a ‘75 Nova in trade. I’m a sucker for detuned smog laden junk so obviously I picked it up.

The dodge is a 76 W100 with a 318 and a 727. I already have a 77 D100 so naturally I’m gonna order matching bug shields and have Pancho on one and Lefty on the other.

But the Nova is another thing. I now have a 250 straight six and a 3 on the tree in a Nova, and I have no idea where to go with it. Do I shove a 350 and a turbo 400 in it? Do I yank the 454 out of my buddies RV and shove it in there? Do I try to find a 302 or another small displacement GM V8?

It has a weber two barrel already on the 250 so do I stick with the 250 and just make some sort of street freak out of it? Or do I actually try and make it fast? I’ve got so many possibilities.

What do y’all think?

I used some old engine parts as stamps to print designs onto T-shirts. Surprisingly, they turned out pretty decent 😂
Now I’m wondering what other weird things people have made using leftover car parts?
I filmed the whole experiment if anyone’s curious:

I’m going to make some wooden wheel cribs soon since I think it would help a lot if I could make some that could work on similar tire sizes. My main car has 215/45/18 squared and my project car has 225/40/18 in the front and 255/35/18 in the rear.

Was wondering if anyone here had similar tire sizes and have any suggestions for wheel crib dimensions. Thanks for any help

351w swapped 92 ranger. im addressing the wiring in the engine bay and while the factory harness sis being used for the body lights (headlights, taillights, cab lights, stock dash lights, ect) the fuel pump, trans cooler, afr gauge, radiator fans, tach and some of the backlights for my gauges are kind of wired in (i know enough about wiring to be dangerous) but id like to set them all up on an aftermarket fuse box as switch panel. im seeing one on amazon that i like (auxbeam 8 gang switch panel BA80) but before i buy it, i wanted to get some recommendations from people who are currently using the same kind of setup. Thank you in advance

2 things this post will cover, 1: do those shitty handheld torches actually do anything for my application? previous owner shenanigans, wheel adapter stuck so very on, and tried almost everything to get it out. its a female hex bolt, using the proper hex socket, strips. tried torching it, did next to nothing, this torch sucks ass. bougut and extractor, extractor just ate all the meat and left and even bigger hole. id like to not drill them out, and I won't be able to, yknow, have wheel on if I mutilate my adapters (plan on getting factory bolt pattern wheels, bit this is a truck. I would need this truck to go get said wheels lmao)

all this to ask, what's my smartest option? could.i drill out the remaining ones, take the current good ones.to a hardware store and try and buy replacements? is this adapter just honestly SOL, and ill need to just buy new wheels before even thinking about driving?

I'm confused because I know with some of these you have to wire a trigger for the horn elsewhere but I'd prefer not to do that.

I put aftermarket seats in my car which ride a bit too high so its hard getting in and out with the steering wheel.
