Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
I'm no Flathead expert but I have also found a lot of broken lock washers over the years so I won't use them on anything.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Gary, I always enjoy your threads. Especially this one since I have an 8RT that runs but really needs a rebuild. This is a great reference and I love the bonus items in the background of your pics.

The black one off to the side in the pic is the Sears unit. I googled the number and just...

Re: What is this tool for?
Thanks for the reply John. I need to get some better pics and measurements or something in the pic for scale.
The plates with the threaded rods looks like maybe a coil spring compressor and the...

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
NICE lathe! Now you'll be asking about grinding HSS blanks. I tried a few times and finally bought insert type but still HSS. Enjoy your new toy.

Re: 50 f2 rims
The 8' Express Bed is the same from 1948- 1952 and on both the F2 and F3. The F2 had rear shocks and typically not on the F3.
