I had a '72 F100, also 360, 4 speed, step side, 3.50 gears , better. Put a 428 cam in it , a manifold from a '63? T-bird, Elbrock 4 barrel, headers, steel spoked wheels. The gas mileage got better at 70-75 mph! A good reason! Run the bottom end dry one time racing a Vett. , found out later...

Yah, mines hell on wheels with a 94 trapper!

Dam, that's pretty near high school again.

I would have liked to take my father to see it run. He was brought up running a steamer. He talked about them at times, and how the big ones you had to ease into pull otherwise you would break the line, 2 1/2 in. cable. The pictures I have seen of a few of them, had up to 5 drums on them.He...

Big problem with acronym's they are not the same in various fields, reading along, hit one, and think what does that have to do with this! Lately some of the ones used leave me lost. As per @trevj post.

Yes, @Ironman, seen the water barrel used a few times, looks a bit funny tried to the front of a truck, going down the road!

Wish I could of helped, but reading this 2 days late. Acklands/Grainger has/had good shipping, when I was in Kamloops, l was looking some small nuts that had a standard ,but not to be found thread size. When I tried Acklands, the guy checks the computer, said only ones to be found were in...

Not sure about others, the Home button/tab, seems to do the same as the forums tab for me and the Home button does not change color, just lights up the forums tab. Most of the time I go to the "What's new tab" anyway, Whether I have logged in or not. I would think you would have to go though...

Not sure how long this has been on the site, not brothered to scroll down that far most any time, just normally down till I find what I am looking for and gone to that.

Hey, he sent an e-mail, not a letter by post! Was the field closed because of Covid or for the winter season? It seems nearly anything said, written etc. can be taken politically by someone, I was told a few times, some of what I said, in hand with my views of some/many/all things was not...

I think just having a bit of extra clearance between the gears will likely do the job, with maybe a lube of bees wax. A small hand grinder with a sanding disc/ drum for tuning any problem areas. No idea if the gears could be put on the router for a slight rework. Extra clearance on this would...

Hey, don't feel to bad. I just spent 16? Hrs on the shaper machineing a casting. Thought I could line up things to machine parallel to a bore, levelled the bore, done test cut , looked good, carried on, could not take very big cuts as casting oversize for size of shaper (table smaller then...

I guess I would telling him" if he shoots anything on or over my property, things gona get bad". I have/had thought of taking up RC flying again as the camera part for crops etc. was of interest. The regs are bad and getting worse cause of photos of ugly ones, and the possibly of packing...

Well, that makes sense now! (The pictures). Is there enough top on those grafted on ones to tune them as it's .040 over size. The same pitch?

I thought it was acme thread, but the picture of the new nut does't really look acme. A tricky picture? The same with the insert. I can see the topping part of the insert, but the there does not appear to be a bottoming part for an acme thread, looks like for a regular thread. Another tricky...
