Re: SoCal checkin' in
Hopped up. What axle do you have? If you have the Eaton 3/4T I may be able to help you out.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
New to the boards checking in from SD. 69 SWB Stepper. It was falling prey to a couple orange trees and avacado trees for quite awhile, so she's a rescue! It's in pieces in the garage but my ECE 4/6 drop and all new steering linkage will be here this week. rocking the Straight 6 because its awesome, and I don't want to hit the pump on a daily basis. Hooker long true dual headers, holley 390, offenhauser alum. intake. Taking the engine to TJ for a full rebuild...flat top pistons and mild cam and all new internals. Any guidance as far as what rebuild kit to get??? Planning on the CPP BIG Brake kit as well, any reason why I shouldn't? Oh, and I'm going to rock the patina look for a bit too. Thanks for reading,
Jay |

Welcome to the board and to the SoCal page. Now let me ask what size wheels are you going to run? I think that kit starts at 15 inch or bigger. Someone else can chime in on this if im wrong. When you get a chance, post some pics up of your truck. Also there are a lot of us here thats in the same boat so hit us up. You never know someone my have what you need. We have a few members in your area so if you search this post, you might find a neighbor. |

WELCOME Jay !
![]() The I-6 is dead simple to overhaul your own self and you'll prolly do a better job than any Garage because you care . Make sure whomever does your cylinder head rebuilding , replaces ALL the valve guides with bronze ones , the entire head including new guides and stellite valve seats should be under $300 . A properly built 250 will easily chirp the tires so be wary of " racing " cams as they tend to make it very sluggish off a dead stop . These sturdy engines are fairly long stroke so they don't like to be revved a lot like the V-8's do . Either way , be sure to punch out all the old block freeze plugs and replace them with brass ones , only a few $ more but the brass ones will never rust out .

Im trying to do it right and set up small gols for myself and right now its suspension while the engine is sent off. Im a mech myself but I live in base housing where Im not really even supposed to have this project, or otherwise I would do the rebuild myself. Currently there are no aspirations to clean up the body, really trying to piece together the suspension, brakes, engine components, and at least get it rolling. If your my neighbor rodger up and come check out my build so far! Jay |

I was actually thinking of running 18's 20 combination on my longbed. So that would be a nice setup. Im your neighbor 2 1/2 hours away. LOL It is a few on here that are in the SD area. Since your engine is out, I would say do your suspension now while its out. |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Not exactly SoCal but crossposting from another California forum I'm on. Guy selling his 1970 to help out his wife. Looks like a good cause and a clean looking truck.

Beater Work Truck ? . People always ask me if I'm a Journeyman Mechanic , why do I always seem to have a Carpenter's Hammer nearby =8-) .
