Yep. 283 small block and a powerglide in my 54 F100. When someone gives me a hard time about it, i just say “built ford tough with chevy stuff”.

My wife and I were returning from a road trip to Georgia a few days ago, and at a rest area somewhere along the way we heard and saw an old (late 60's / early 70's) VW bus flying down the highway, definitely not stock. We caught up to it and passed it later, sticker on the back window said it was a Busaru (VW bus with a Subaru engine), very cool! Total coincidence that I was wearing a t-shirt with a cool drawing of an old VW surfer bus that my daughter gave me after one of her Australia trips a few years ago. Love 'em, now I want one!

They had to run 3 times as many chebys to skew the results like that though

Wasn't sure whether to put this in the Sulky thread or the wagon thread. Only three items left to finish up, and my wife's ride for the Tri-State Antique Engine & Tractor Show & Flea Market will be ready to roll! Padded seat cover for the sulky Apply bedliner to the inside of the wagon Apply the Wheel Horse decal.

The hubs look like sears suburban hubs.

And here the add-on hydraulic lift. Forward is up and back is down. We tried to reverse the front and rear hoses but one was too short.

One suggestion buy the longer dog point set screws on McMaster Carr ! I have had four or five issues with these shifter screws over the years. I had issues on rjs, square hoods and toro models. I usually buy several at a tome and keep to replace on my tractors. Easier to place longer ones in ‘

This has worked for me on several projects. Soak it with Kroil for a few days first.
-
They break right where the socket ends. A weak point.

Ok I had the same thing happen but got lucky and the piece backed out. Oil kept it free and a awl worked. I can talk smart tho the tunnel was off and much easier to get at. Any way you can get in there with say a Dremel and cut a slot in for a small screwdriver?
-
My first truck had one of those mounted on the inside of the fender well. Two rods ran directly from the pump and through the dashboard with knobs on them. One for up and down and the other for power angle.

Have coaxed a few out. Now that the nut is off the screw can be tapped in to loosen it up. The nut has been pulling the screw out until it broke. A sharp awl will usually turn it out if the screw is loose.

2nd on the citrus paint remover. I've done it. That stuff isn't very strong and will remove the spray paint much quicker than it will the old paint. But keep in mind if you leave it on too long it will burn into the old paint so do small portions at a time and rinse with water.

Any dune buggy owners out there?

My brother had several Baja Bugs growing up. I learned how to drive on the beach in one of them when I was 14 years old. Beach’s here are not hard like down south, they require 4 wheel drive. So learning with a bug taught me a lot about driving in soft sand. Rear tires were usually 33x12.50’s aired down to about 20 lbs. When I bought my first truck it was 4 wheel drive so driving on the beach was a breeze for me. Having 4 wheel drive doesn’t stop people with it from getting stuck all the time, especially on the ocean beaches. Here’s a picture of me on my brand new Work Horse winter of 84-85 when I was 14. Notice my brothers 2 bugs in the background, the second is behind my sisters dodge Omni! - Yesterday

Speak for youraself!

For the past half century there has been almost no similarity between the race cars and the ones you might drive. I think that is the reason that NASCAR fans have lost interest.
-
I'd want to save the decals, not planning to do a complete strip/blast/repaint, the finish is already shot so new decals would look out of place.

This one needs the deep offset rims. And , yes I did drill the rims. 7/16ths to 1/2 didn’t take much effort. -
I do too, my 1948 Ford had a Chevrolet engine, transmission and frame, best Ford I ever owned.
-
I bought a pump from Northern Hydraulics since the original was NLA. Find the specifications for the original and buy the one that is close.

A "remote" handle can be connected to that hole in the handle with a rod. I only know both guys that sold them told me Jeep. I did see one of those valves before that had a switch integrated on it to activate the 12v Starter. One of the valves I have has 2 valves connected together but the rest is the same and exactly like yours
