Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
I got the truck running, everything seems to work fine only a couple bugs to work out. I won't be making it to Kalamazoo due to family commitments, but will be at the Rt.66 Festival in Springfield, IL at the end of the month.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
I finally got to attend an event with the truck last weekend, the Morris IL. monthly cruise night. The truck ran great and I was very happy that the heat worked on the ride home, as I wore a T shirt and the temps got to the mid 50's. I know in January that will feel like summer, but after the 90's we've been having around here it felt cold! Here's a couple pictures aired down in the grass.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
Oldnslow, looks great and glad it ran great for you. I am dreading the fall all ready, not ready for summer to be over.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
truck looks great, congrats on the christening and everything went smooth. Yeah I love having heat in my truck, glad I went with an aftermarket non leaking unit, small and simple and reliable. Yeah totally not felling summer being just about over.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
Nice Crate Stroker. Putting one in my 57 TF as well. Love the new Deluxe, bumping it to 450 - with manifold to boot! Are you going with the Holley 770 also? Jim

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
The Vortec 350 that's in the truck runs like a *****, great oil pressure, cools good, but it smokes a little at idle when warm. It is a low mile engine removed from a wrecked Suburban, everything looked great when I pulled it apart, leaks down less that 5% on every hole, compression is 160 -165 across. I thought the intake gasket was allowing oil to be sucked in from the valley, so removed the Chinese manifold and added a new Edelbrock RPM air gap and tried again with the same results. I'm guessing that either the valve guides should have been replaced when the valve job was done or the oil rings are stuck / cashed. Guess I will know when I blow it apart, after the new one is installed. I'm using the same Holley 770 cfm Street Avenger carb on the 383.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
Got the 383 in over the week end, now on to changing the standard Ford light 4.11 "chunk" to a Strange with 3.89 gears and adding Moser axles.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
After all the talk for the last couple of years about doing Hot Rod Power Tour I finally did it this year. We went to the Goodguys show in Indy Fri, Sat and Sunday, took a tour of the Auburn/Cord /Dusenburg Museum on Monday and picked up Power Tour on Tuesday in Norwalk, Ohio. Wednesday on to Crown Point, Indiana, Thursday Bettendorf, Iowa and Friday, Wisconsin Dells. The truck ran great, I installed a new speedometer when the crate engine was installed, changed out the break in oil with 175 miles on the odometer and headed out. We returned with 1700+ miles on the odometer, these things are WAY more fun to drive than to use as garage art, as I had for several years! I took a lot of pictures, not many of the truck but here are a couple.
