Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Thanks Kees. Yes, first time for autocross and had a ball. I couldn't do as good as the rest, with a 2:56 geared open rear end, but I had a great time...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hey Troops,
Today a few of us retired guys an gals got together again for our 2nd Annual West Vue Nursing car display. It was really hot and humid today, temps in mid 90's and heat index in the 100's. But alot of the residents were outside in the shade enjoying fun, music and old cars. Here are a few pics, enjoy...Jim Pic 1 thru 3 of residents and family enjoying the cook out. Pic 4 My wife Aggie, the love of my life for over 50 years. Pic 5 more residents.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hey folks, here's another update on a change I've been wanting to do for a LONG time. It's my alternator, it's only an 85 amp, been on the truck for 12 years and always kept the battery hot. It was fine when rpm's are up but at idle, etc it was below 14-1/2 volts, which most new cars show all the time.
The first pic is at 1800 rpm running down the road, 14-1/2 volts and the ac blower on. Second pic is at stop, 600 rpm in gear and ac blower off, 13 volts. Third pic is at stop, 600 rpm in gear and ac blower on, just above 12 volts. This wasn't hurting anything, I just didn't like it that low. Note: I took these pics in March and just now getting around to doing something ...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
So today I removed the alternator, and will take to the shop tomorrow and have them up grade to 105 amp. While this was apart I thought it would be a good time to change all the belts, since they are 12 yrs old.
First pic is the alternator second pic is my 3 pulley set up for alt, ac and PS. third pic is my old belts, gates 7350, 7500, and 7530, they really weren't that bad, but nows the time to change. Will let you know how everything comes out once I get the alternator back and things installed...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
That will be a good upgrade Jim. How many miles in those 12 years?
