Oh man this thread got wicked awesome. I so wish I could participate since all I do is mess with old trucks but I just got super busy with work. Seconding the drums availability, they're like the only thing I cant find for my IH but they seriously have like an inch around the rim so if the Chevy ones are similar they should be turnable for a long time.

I may still have the ram horns from Bernice. Let me take a look tomorrow, I know they are worth something to hot rod guys for some kind of clearance issues so it might be worth a look.

If its geared anything like my 56 IH with 6.16s in the back, not at all. Just let off the gas and it stops faster than the brakes ever could.

Yea that thing is going to really suck to drive to Florida. I'd be surprised if it does more than 50 and that's with the lo5 wound right up. That and if the transmission isn't synchronized you either have to stop all the way or double clutch it into first to roll through an intersection. It's also going to be insanely slow, slower than you can imagine unless you may have driven a semi or a vw bus on a really long trip. This slowness enrages normal drivers, greatly. They will hate, pass you on double yellows while blowing the horn and giving the finger, all that cool stuff to add to the driving experience. Yea I don't drive my poo poo spreader much because most of the time it kinda blows. You got some huge brass ones to do that Dave and also happy birthday! If I had the ching I'd buy the Jimmy and follow you to Florida and then home. Guess it wouldn't hurt to have another truck project around but alas I spent all my fun money on my stupid subie this summer.

Hypnolobster posted:Yeah, gear isn't going to be the limiting factor for speed. Steering and stiff springs are going to be pretty suddenly "OH HOLY gently caress I HIT A BUMP AND CHANGED 4 LANES" Yea that's no joke, my truck has like 42 leafs in the back and no shocks and it's 5 years newer than this one. All the suspension is in the seat, seriously the seat has like 15 inches of articulation.

Napa, dude. They had like 75% of the stuff for the 61 c10 on the shelf when I went to get it running a couple weeks ago. Unless you had been there and they still don't have 80s 5.0 parts and if so wtf?

The transmission will be fine, that wheezer of a 350 isn't going to stress it much more than the 6 that was in there.

80s Mopars are hit or miss, if it was running any time recently it's probably one of the good ones that will run forever. The 2.2 is a tank, it's got oil squirters for the pistons and everything. If it stops running suddenly or won't start just beat on the gas tank a little and the fuel pump will start working again. Sucks that the timing belt is possibly old but it's a non interference emgine so if it does break it's inconvenient but not catastrophic.

Tremek is the man, he picked Ken and I up from the airport to meet the Justy guy in that wagon and holy Jesus is it fast. A camper is an awesome idea, is there a hitch or anything on the truck so he could bring it to (what's left of) Florida?

Memento posted:Speaking of Igor(r) I saw Igor and Max Cavalera last weekend playing the album Roots in its entirety. It was loving great, that album spent a very long time in my car stereo back in the day. Oh my god I forgot about roots, man yea that got some serious playtime back when I had my 83 Z28. That and the Deftones album with the ear wax bulb on the cover and Sevendust. And coal chamber. Cripes I was a dork.
