Just to show a little progress here's a few pics. Nothing too purty as this is a strictly diy job. After removing the gasoline engine, I drilled...
Your tank looks really nice. Is it the same coating inside and out? I had 1960 Corvair with a tank that was rusty on the inside but not as bad...
Should be a nice truck when you get her finished. I've taken on some rust projects before. I bought a 72 Dodge Dart Swinger and drove it home...
This dual brush 7.5" diam motor, which actually has four sets of two brushes is about the smallest you would want to run on a small pickup....
Thank you for the kind response! I finally got the truck home yesterday. It was only about a mile away but as you know when moving a non running...
Thank you. I was concerned about how some might view this type of conversion. The first ones were how I found it and then after I sanded off the...

So the compression on 1 and 3 is 90+ and 2 and 4 is close to 0. The good news is it was pumping oil and gas when I cranked it over. Do I need to...
Hmm. I think I missed my guess on that one since the timing marks line up fine. I can't make the chain slip so maybe it is good enough. Since I...
Thankyou for the help! I assume the distributor is driven by the auxillary or whatever you call it shaft that has the middle sprocket. Is there...
