Thanks

The locksmith has been in the business since the 70’s after service in Nam. He has 1000’s and 1000’s of keys. He sent one of his co-workers out with everything he needed. When a locking gas cap is seized up, well... it is seized up. It’s not like he didn’t try for a few HOURS. Seriously. Hours...

Will try that. Thanks

Definitely

Great idea

Cool. That’s a nice locking cap

Interesting. Will try that

Thanks everyone. I will get going on all the suggestions

On my 1951 Ford F1 pickup truck there is a locking gas cap that didn’t come with a key. Actually, the truck didn’t come with a key either. After the locksmith was working on making a key for the ignition, he worked on the gas cap lock. No luck Anyone have any ideas? Drilling it out is a last...

Good to know on the street rod title info and great news on the wiring simplicity

Not only is it burning oil, it is leaking from every seal and the valve cover has a portion that is bubbling out tiny bubbles and seeping oil there too Fully operational chassis and drivetrain Yeah. I think more cost effective at the moment and very little drivetrain My truck was just...

I know the entire body swap sounds crazy since I’m planning to reinstall the original motor, radiator, transmission etc, but I LOVE this thing and don’t want any down time during a rebuild. Also, the expense to rebuild myself will be much less and taking my time and having fun with it, instead...

WOW What a coincidence This is great information thank you. Are you doing a write up? The running body has everything complete except the battery box that I can pull out of the body that was supposed to go on the complete frame assembly. The guy that I’m buying the complete frame assembly...

I plan to go back to the 6. The exhaust on the 6 is so old and beat up it’s really loud and sounds mean

Absolutely I love a 6! All my old Jeeps were 6ers and one went for 310,000 miles and rams as good as the day I bought it (141,000) to the day I sold it I will rebuild it while the running gear from the V8 is in there. Mine has the 4 and I LOVE the 4 speed challenge. Can someone tell me what...

Just swapping the body over. Not swapping engine into old frame

Yes. That’s the idea

I hear ya there. In Arizona it’s simple to get a title. I have mine for the running truck I have now from the glovebox and firewall matching numbers. I’m sure he would keep the title on the other body. I guess I’m not sure what you mean about the owner ship certificate Beyond that? The motor...

YES I have researched that there are some changes to be made that are minor but several in number I’m a purist at heart, so it’s hard to even imagine a V8 and not a 6!

This has been asked before, but not in this way, I don’t believe. I’m at a point where the flathead six is burning a ton of oil and could be nearing its end. Someone I know is selling a completely restored frame and complete drivetrain with a flathead V-8. Originally I thought it was another...
