Not knowing but guessing about the demographics of NASCAR TV and live fans, are they an older generation? The younger car owners/drivers of today and for the last 20+ years have been with available 4-cyl. and V-6 front wheel drive cars. Do these drivers follow NASCAR? Maybe not. A few years ago a local drag strip opened Thursdays for high schoolers and their cars. The crowd numbers exceeded the weekend drag fan numbers. ... View more

Two push rods makes sense to me - can't imagine adding more push rods, needs cam lobes, space through the block, etc. ... View more

I am wondering if the auction co. wants them freshly cleaned or leave them dirty and messy allowing the buyer to do their careful cleaning and examination of a new prize. What is it that they just won? ... View more

Me too. I have long held that an Outback or similar size small truck is sadly missing form our pickup selections. The VW pickup of years back filled that space but, gone. ... View more

For traveling use: small volt-ohm-current meter to chase down electric faults and a small soldering iron to fix some of those faults.  My needs often centered around maintaining a CB radio (anyone else remember those?) external wiring, lead wires, and antenna.   ... View more

My direction - different, some bulk items.  At estate and garage sales I watch for unopened qt. oil containers, ditto radiator coolant, windshield wipers still in their bubble packs, WD-40 cans, also yard fertilizer, weed killer -- .   ... View more

Interesting. Thanks, new info. My street rodded '35 Ford uses silicone fluid, same fluid remains after 20 or so years. However, the plastic container the initial fluid came in has developed a crack about at the top of the remaining fluid. Container aged out? The DOT 3 fluid in our daily drivers gets replaced every several years to clear out moisture, etc. ... View more

Hey 2 Classic, our family has a similar '85 Dodge Ram project, 12K, floor shift, slant 6, dark green, but a long box. Our late father used this pickup on our small farm - haul hay, fire wood, animals, etc. He drove across a hay field, wrapped hay around the drive shaft and damaged the rear end's seal and it lost lube. So, rear works but it screams, and sitting idle in rural wet Oregon, light moss is growing on the paint, pack rats established condominiums in the engine compartment, and the gas is not doubt very sour. Last time it ran, the water pump or other front accessory was stuck and fan belt screamed. So it sits. The cab inside is pristine. Both rear tail lamp lenses are broken and the tail gate has dents and an errant calf pushed in the right side door. Tires are originals and the hub caps are present. And I am 900 miles away and travel limited due to Covid. Oh well. I can hope. Best wishes with your efforts. ... View more

Ford cars and pickups shared the same frame (with minor changes) 1935 to 1940 for cars and to 1941 for pickups.  Of course the sheet metal, cabs, grill, fenders, etc. largely differed for each year but they all sat on the same frame.  Beginning in 1941 for cars and 1942 for pickups, car and pickup frames differed.  The pickups 1942 to 1947 were the same except for trim changes and the F-1 pickup emerged in 1948.   Engines were largely the same famous V8 but 6-cylinder and even 4-cylinder were available in the late '30s and early '40s.  ...
