Evening weiner wranglers!
Got the new bridge beam capped and the trucks reinstalled.

Having a wonderful time here in Cumming GA.
Not even making that up.
Looking for some "I love Cumming"(Georgia) merchandise while I'm here.

Greg my oe was done by a well known beef farmer in TN, and does not have a 357 carb. It goes pretty good. Is it now established that that's a must have?

I see Randy already replied. No, the carb thing isn’t a must, but I figured I would try to go that route since I am putting a 50cc top end on it.

Unless you are doing laps at Lime Rock, or towing over the dragon, stock brakes are fine. Now if you are doing either of the above, they have some nice pads that still work cold but definitely work better once heated up. What vehicle is this on?

Edit: just read back, not a track vehicle. Towing. Carry on!

Not sure yet. I would guess not, but the saw didn’t have much for compression. If it is good, I will hold onto it.

What year sweptline?

I used to have a decent collection of them about 25, sold them all off 10-12 years back. Should've kept one or two.

I had a 1970 crewcab 4x4, special ordered big block auto trans. I bought it from the original owner, on the NV/UT border. Had a few other crewcabs also.

wow, were you on the Sweptline forum?

This one is a ‘69 383 727 A/C power brakes and steering.

My dad had an orange ex caltrans crew cab ‘70 or so when I was little. Traded a Chevy fender for ‘71 longbed with a blown up slant in the bed. Traded that for a ‘63 with no bed and a 440. Had a lot of back fees, rusty floors, and the 440 was worn out. Also bought a rusty tan ‘68 long bed 318 auto ($300, they aren’t cheap any more) that I got running. Then I got a ‘70 shorty with no power train…put the 318 and auto in it and drove it a couple years and sold it and everything else but the ‘68 carcass…oh and the rough free ‘68 D400. My wife told me I’d regret selling it and I did! Few years ago picking a trans to get my deuce running I found this white shorty but wasn’t for sale. More recently I asked again and he had sold it, the guy hadn’t paid, and had started to take it apart…so now I got it. Gonna be more of a project than my previous ones but I’ve wanted a big block forever. Hope to pick up free 440 moho number two tomorrow.

‘70

I think I put the ‘68 front end on it essentially making it a ‘69

 

[davidwyby]

I’d like to find a crew cab short bed to put on my ‘95 Cummins chassis.
