Re: Anyone can buy an SWB...
Nice work here. I envisioned a similar bracket/attachment points for the notched x-members I've done. On mine, I just cheeped out & notched the a-arm simply because I felt the bracket required for the support bearing took away from the 'clean' look I was wanting. Unfortunately, notching eliminates aftermarket upper arms from the options because of the bushing barrel size.

Re: Anyone can buy an SWB...
I applaud your skills, awesome build. Wish I had a 1/3rd of your skills.
Definitely sub'd.

Re: Anyone can buy an SWB...
Awesome build. If you don’t mind can you let me know the size of the tires and rim on the truck in your first post picture. Thank you.

Re: Anyone can buy an SWB...
It's refreshing to see some custom framework getting done. There are so many parts available nowadays that we just don't see too many one-off fabricated pieces being created.

Re: Anyone can buy an SWB...
Appreciate the kind words.
Wiring, plumbing wrapped up. I reroute and rearrange the wiring so its more eye pleasing.I like things to be linear and minimal where possible. [ATTACH]1980068[/ATTACH [ATTACH]1980071[/ATTACH [ATTACH]1980072[/ATTACH [ATTACH]1980075[/ATTACH [ATTACH]1980076[/ATTACH |

Re: Anyone can buy an SWB...
Regardless of simplicity, that interior looks like home to me. I like it a lot.

Re: Anyone can buy an SWB...
Cool.
I do see, though, how most people seem addicted to being distracted when they drive. Radio,phone,eating,drinking. Generally not paying attention to the actual driving and other vehicles. Its no wonder society is moving toward self-driving cars,,nobody wants to be bothered with paying attention in the moment to the experience that is driving. End sermon. |

Re: Anyone can buy an SWB...
Missed this earlier...
Block is the original 402 ( truck was a BB/TH400 model ) has a Thumper roller cam n lifters. Iron heads, bored n torque plate honed to a 409. Checked & rebalanced crank, replaced everything else. Its not a powerhouse by modern standards but Im not the boy racer type so 418/438 @ 5900 is good for now. It sounds amazing too. Trans is a 5 speed TKO model. ( 2.87 first, 1.89 second, 1.28 third, 1.0 forth, .64 fifth. Even with 373 rear gears the .64 fifth gear is pretty tall. Its great for going from town to town but I dont use it much. I also switched to a 4.11 rear so might be a better fit. Last edited by Inverter; 03-20-2020 at 02:01 PM. |
