Sure i will share. I bought the book: Workbench how to rebuild a Muncie 4-Speed by Paul Cangialosi. I also went to youtube and looked up Paul Cangialosi and he has a bunch of vidoes on howto. He is is basically the Godfather of the Muncie. He supports/owns a company that sells the parts - 5speeds.com. Everything including buying complete Muncie from them.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you very!!

Your truck is coming along great, quality work!!

I just checked out your build thread. You've got some very cool fabrication going on. Very impressive.

What are you going to do to enclose the battery? In that location it is likely to be pummeled with water, mud. rocks, or at minimum tire rubber (which is really nasty to clean up).

I have no real plan honestly I had a thought to put up a "Shield" to help protect it, but then i thought it will be a sealed battery and well if i can avoid it, little to now rain, rocks and such.
Now as for the rubber... lol .... well there are some things just live with, like a badge of honor.... lol .

Thank you. I try to keep the updates coming. I am working from home and sometimes that is more difficult.
Anyways, got the rearend back from rebuild, so it is going in this weekend along with front end.
I need to get rims and tires for this thing, but struggling with what to put on, transit rims in red or black OR go with a set of Riddlers.
Truck will be body in flat red wrap, with accents of black.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Looks so good. I'm jealous of the frame, and really liking the brace kit.

Honestly, for the price, i could not beat it. Portbuilt has a really nice piece, but i HATE the box look. You can tell they did it because they can table cut all the pieces and then just weld them together. Do not get me wrong, it is a nice piece, but the previous version was so much nicer looking in my opinion. So anyways, i found this one on Summit site, had to wait for 2.5 months to get it, but happy i waited. it looks really good, comes with Engine mounts and tranny mount, both work for LS or old school motors and trannys. At 999.99 its hard to beat.

I agree, the tubular look on that is much nicer compared to the Porterbuilt. Looks awesome! Loving the progress, oh and great choice on the wheels.

That set-up actually looks like an earlier PB version that utilized more tubing.

Exactly. That is what i was looking for at their site, even emailed and asked them about it. They no longer offer the tubular version. So i went this way.

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
So, updates from this past weekend.....
So i bought the Deluxe kit from Steve at EZ Air Ride. What an awesome guy he is. I have a cell number that i can text him or call him on and within a few hours he has always answered! His customer support is above and beyond. His packaging is also great. This is a bag of nuts and bolts that came with the kit. By the way, he sends a personalized message to all who buy a kit from him.
I have CPP Tubular upper and lower arms, lowers are built for air bags.
