Great job on the cover.

More B2 body pics.....

Nice work sparky!

I thought we were making new long perches Ted?

I'd preheat the pumpkin on the bbq and weld it up and then bbq it again and close the lid and turn it off. 😁

Also, if it's setup for dodge applications, will you have to purchase an adapter to mount it behind the GM tranz?

Does this 242 have legit 2wd also? For better dry pavement manners and better fuel mileage.

But does it have 4Lo?

241s were GM Dodge specific iirc

It's winking

Will a 241 tcase fit?

Now we need the engine/tranz so we can set angles.

Ha.

This fun to read and be involved with Ted.

We will want to mock it up in the B2 to match the angle of the tcase output with the pinion angle at ride height. You might get lucky doing it the other way, but with the engine swap and axle swap let's just take the time to match it up so you don't have any harmonic vibrations when coasting.

It's an interesting mindset shift having grown up w the '70s pickups as cool and semi valuable and the '90s pickups as new. Now the '70s pickups are crazy expensive and some of the parts are getting rare. Now the '90s pickups are hot commodities. 🤔

I must have scrapped the ranks out of mine. I haven't seen them kicking around.

'71 F350 Napco 4x4.

I'm not going to plug up Ted's build thread w my bumpside collection. I think there are some pics of them in my Explorer build thread. This B2 build is going to be fun. We will be hitting you up knowledge Jamie. You are the guru as far as I'm concerned.

You're very kind Mr Fortune. You have been an incredible friend and asset to me over the years. "It's not what You know, but Who you know...." Ted n I had a good time yesterday. I'm sure pics will follow.

It's a sweet rig. You did an awesome job on it.

Right?!?!?

The earlier ones were 5 on 5.5

They had unit bearings by then.

The locking hub is too big diameter to fit through the center of the smaller bolt pattern wheels

Just tighten the bolt, there won't be any slop.

If only I could give them all a home

Real hotrods are never finished..... I love this little truck. It's so cool.

That thing screamed for 22 hrs straight from Nampa to KOH, only letting up to put gas in it. I was impressed.

You pay extra for them to open the hitch up. We may have far exceeded the suggested gvw.

This thing is my winter weather driver so I can save my '71 from the salt. I finally got tired of trying to hook things to the roof. So I've started the roof rack cage project. The easy part is almost finished. The cross bars should line up with where the verts for the cage should protrude...

AWESOME! Thank you Rick! Thank you @410Fortune for talking me into submitting!

The 4r70 has a much better 1st gear than the a4Ld does. Love it.

It pulls 37s w 4.88s like they are 35s

NeoMustangs on YouTube has a decent video on it.

It's an old poor man's HotRod trick. The piston pins are offset in the pistons. So if you swap sides and rotate them it increases the stroke and compression.

Yeah, I try to "fix" things better than stock. It even gained fuel mileage.

I also ported the heads and upgraded the valvesprings. Oh And a Jmod stage 3 valvebody out of a crown Vic.

I freshened the 5.0 before I stuck it in the hole. New bearing, moly rings, and flipped the pistons/rods and a mustang gt cam. It runs quite a bit better than my bride's '01 5.0 sploder.

I tried really hard to use the cast Explorer oil pan. Everyone was correct, it won't fit. I moved the engine back as far as I could and wanted it low. The humps and bumps in the pan will not clear the TTB crossmember and pivot mount. I trimmed the pivot and eventually cut it off and the pan...
