David, not to worry. As long as you're running a thermostat you'll get plenty of heat - it regulates the engine temp by closing when cold. The thermostat...
David, Jay hit it right on the button, as usual. I have done this myself and it works great. I did mine in my driveway. All you need is a propane torch, some...
Driving from South Dakota through Colorado in January was like my own little expedition. I actually had a blanket over my legs once when I got pulled over for...
I was driving my 66 today, and there was a POP noise, and instantly there was a full turn of play in the steering wheel. I got it stopped in someones lawn...
The steering box is easy to replace as vehicles go. You pop the rod off the steering gear, disconnect the shift rods from the shift tube, three bolts on the ...
Well said David, obviously Eugene was a man we should all emulate and hope that folks tell stories about us as you guys have about him. I did not have the ...
My thoughts and prayers are also with Eugene Phillips family too. While restoring my truck I spoke to Eugene several times on the phone and he was very...
Watch "Criminal Minds" tonight. There is a cloe-up of a guy sitting in the driver's seat of an early. I get local and Chicago broadcasts on my satellite dish,...
Jay, is it a dual light for both stop and cargo? I'd like to see the picture. The high mount is more what I had in mind. Thanks. Bob in Wa ... go ... but ...
Jay,I picked up a set of seat from a 66 van,The mounts are different,like you said.Are the seats different? Someone gave me a set of seats a few months ago...
Chris, Here's another pic. This might be the one Jay is referring to. I think he posted this originally. Dan in Cleveland ... From: Gilbert Dunne To:...
Wow Chris, I'm glad you're OK. You should be able to use one of the columns out of the yard near your house. I remember talking with Tim in KY and he told me...
Lee doesn't need to be asked twice whenever a torch is involved. ;-) If he can't fix something with a torch (and silicone) it probably can't be fixed. Jay in...
Chris, very glad you managed to get it stopped safely. I've heard of this happening once or twice in the almost-thirty years I've been working on these things,...
Bob, sorry, the Escort light is brake-only (it's from a station wagon, not a pickup). I just posted two photos in the Tech Stuff folder - one showing the...
Will, the '65-67 seats are different than the '61-64. Lower, and shaped a bit different. Personally I like the later ones better, but that may be because my...
Thanks, Gil and Dan, both are the 144/170 pan, but the 240 one is very similar - just add a dip in the center for the taller 240 radiator. Jay in CA ... think...
The steering boxes are all the same, but the columns definitely are not. The basic shifter mechanisms are the same, but the mounting bracket to the dash came...
It looks like I'm going to do some welding and maybe drill some holes to make these seats fit.I'd rather weld on the seat leg then drill in the truck. The ...
Yea, ok. I confess. I really did the job using my ox/acy torch with the flame turned down. And I actually avoided starting a fire, that one time anyway. :>) ...
I had never heard of a torch and silicone. that seems suspicious, might be hard to sell that job.. I wonder if you have a hard time getting fire insurance. ...
One thing I forgot. You will also need some sheet brass to cover the holes in the tank when you change the connections. Try the local hobby shop. I've also...
David, You have to understand that Jay and I have been good friends since 1983 and have a few incidents to raz each other about. The torch reference is because...
one my favorite football players growing up was hacksaw jackson of the 49r's, said to have cut through a truck with a hacksaw after loosing a game. Man those...
Hi All, Will be driving the 65 wagon <http://chevy.tocmp.com/65falcon/> from N.W. Florida to Houston sometime real soon. I have had a few problems with the...
I stand corrected. Thanks Jay. Dan in Cleveland ... The steering boxes are all the same, but the columns definitely are not. The basic shifter mechanisms are...
