That is most of my driving, but there are times when we might drive 25 to 40 miles to a car show, and it would be nice to run 60 in a 65 speed zone

No, the Flatty has good compression on all 8 cylinders so I am thinking it's the rear being low geared. The engine code starts with 18, so I belive that is an 85 hp.

Thanks guys, for all this advice, and I just wanted some ideas to ponder on! I will read and digest it and understand. Thanks! KT

It looks like Hot Rod Works has a conversion kit for the banjo rear end, to do an open driveline.

A friend of mine mentioned a T5 but can that be done with an enclosed driveline, or do I need an open driveline?

Good evening all, Guys, I have some questions, please. I recently bought a 37 half ton, and to be honest, I am not real familiar with the banjo differential setup and the torque arms / suspension. Top speed of this old truck is about 50, and I am not wanting a high speed vehicle but it would...

Our state does and ID/OD, where you have to take any vehicle purchased out of state to an inspection station and those people have to verify that the VIN, or in this case, serial number on the title matches the number on the vehicle and if it don't, it's a lengthy process, and back and forth to...

Good evening all, It's been quite a long time since I have posted anything but thought I would now. I have been looking at a 37 Ford pickup that is located out by Wichita, so today the wife and I made the 190 mile trip from home, to go look it over. This little truck has had a lot of work...

Thanks!! Kevin

Looks good! Kevin

I wish I had done that while the seat was out getting recovered. Kevin

Thanks for all the replies everyone! Much appreciated.. Kevin

I did some research and found where I had asked about insulating the firewall and you guys gave me some ideas. I looked at Lowes website and found some Reflectix Silver bubble insulation. A 16" X 25' roll is only $16.25 so, I think I will try getting this under the carpet and against the...

Hello Barners! It's been some time since I have visited and posted on the forum and this may have been discussed at some point, and I may have even posed the question once before but here goes. My 56 Victoria get's extremely hot inside on these hot summer days after driving it some distance...

Jeff, Thank you for your reply with that information!! I appreciate it! Kevin

Hello nascardave! Yes that is a great deal. Please PM me your address and I'll put a money order into the mail tomorrow for you. Thanks!! Kevin

Dave, How you doing sir? I totally understand what your saying and I'm not wanting to just replace it for the sake of it. Here's the story. The other evening I put a 3/4 socket on the hexcap and it just fell off! I thought what the heck. I looked and where the adjustment screw is slotted...

Hello Barners! Hope everyone is doing well ! I am wondering if it is possible to replace the sector shaft adjusting screw on a 1956 Ford Victoria steering gear box, and if so, is it even possible to find one? Thanks!! Kevin

Yeah the steering box feels fairly tight and never thought about lowering the psi in the front tires. I am definitely going to replace the front shocks!! Kevin

I would like to say a big Thank You to all who replied and shared their knowledge!! Kevin
