I found these a few weeks back and cleaned the rust off of them. I know way back when Ford included some tools with their tractors. But I was wondering if they did the same with their cars and trucks. How old are these wrenches and what else may have come in the tool kits?

Cool parts.

Plus, I would like to install a FAST set up from Holley some day. Getting the intake on now is one less step to go through later.

Good point.

With this truck, I try ti stay out of the throttle unless needed. I drive it as easy as I can.

I ma with you on the exhaust. However, it is not in the budget right now. Later on, yes, full new true dual with an x-pipe. That is why I was not in a hurry to replace the 2bbl set up right now. I do nto see how I can get the benefits without improving the exhaust.

I prefer not to. It is a nice tail.

I have heard that from a few of my friends. I was wondering if it was true or a wives tale. I am hearing it enough now that there must be something to it.

It is unanimous now. All my friends have given me shit for my plans to reinstall the cast iron 2bbl intake and carb on my 72 318. I planned to do so because this 72 ¾ Dodge truck gets pretty good fuel mileage. Even with the 2bbl carb leaking as much fuel as it sends into the combustion chamber...

Got a Trac Lock. Now I just have to get it in. I have been out of town recently so no progress in a while.

That is off the Cool-O-Meter. I would rock that thing proudly.

I addressed the proportioning valve today. I was having ahell of a time getting around the structural dimpled area. Finally I comparedit to the donor truck and sure enough it had the same thing. So I made atemplate of the holes. It worked out great and now the valve is right where ishas to be...

I love wagons.

I agree, they just do not screem muscle car though. Do not get me wrong, I have much respect for them.

I really like those cars. but speed is nto somehting that comes to mind when I think of them.

Sounds like a fun car. I like the sleeper look.

That sounds like an awsome biuld. Impressive times to for a 318.

Now that I know later model magnum heads will not only boltto my 1972 318 but will also wake it up, I am very interested in doing it. But,this is all new to me and I have questions. First off, can someone who has donethis conversion please tell me everything I require? Will the modern...

Finally located some studs. They are not a perfect match,but they are damn close. When I got home this morning my intention was to getthe rear hubs wrapped up, then go to bed. But, my luck kicked in again. I broketwo tabs off the retaining ring on the passenger side. Now I have to dig outall the...

Not much to report today. I found out the studs I need arenot as easy to get as I thought. I spent a lot of time running around thismorning going through boxes at parts stores trying to locate them. I finally ordered some from NAPA. Hopefullythey will be correct. Because I am waiting on studs...

:DI want to trust this truck to make long trips. And, look cool doing it.

I already blew way past the time I frame I needed this truck done in. I refuse to slap it back together.

Thanks. I am trying to get this done without sacrifcing quality.

Today I started by cleaning the diff cover. I found a lot ofpitting rust under the old gasket. Not a good sign. I briefly thought aboutprepping and painting it. Then I thought about something. Have you ever seen thoserusty old trucks driving down the road with a freshly painted diff cover. It...

Gettin' thar.
