Learning to post pictures 7 Attachment(s)
Always bothered me that I could not post a picture maybe now I got it.
What you should see is truck as I got it and how it looks now and my vacation pictures when I needed a break. |
Re: Learning to post pictures Beautiful Nice job. Wow! That's quite a bike ride! Your rear spring set up with the quick change is awesome. Could that also be done on a stock 1940 Ford car frame? Tell us more about what and how you did it.Be sure and mount your electric fuel pump on rubber bushings.
Thanks. |
Re: Learning to post pictures 19Fordy thanks for the kind words, the electric pump is mounted with some rubber bushings to the bracket, came in the kit. I tried to use the stock mount but the truck would sit way too high so I figured the difference and welded in the rear crossmember to achieve the stock ride height, It can be done on a car frame as well. I needed to use a model A spring to clear the rear end so ride would not be affected. The quickchane unit is a Rodsville housing the axles and housings are 40 that had new sleeves installed for the drum bearings to ride on, the center section was put together with 3:78 ring and pinion. I ended up turning and sleaving the pinion shaft because I wanted to retain the Ford tapered bearings instead of the ball bearings the quickchange units use. I believe the tapered rollers offer more strength and rigidity than ball bearings at the expence of more drag with the timkens. The bike ride was a little over 11,000 miles round trip from Upstate NY to Alaska and back took 6 weeks. Met some wonderful folks and saw some nice old Fords on the trip. I did all the mechanical work, body and interior, gauges were sent to Baxter and I did have it painted locally never did learn the secret of that. Jon

Re: Learning to post pictures Nice looking truck. Especially like it with the look as Henry built it - without whitewalls.

Hi Everyone, Something I noticed...
The forum software seems better at resizing our larger images. I just noticed it sized mine down to 800x600 in .JPG format, no matter what size it was when I uploaded it. An improvement? It seems so. |
Re: Learning to post pictures Beautiful truck!
