Sup fellas, just joined up. I’ve had this truck since almost new, started out 305tbi automatic, she’s been through a couple different nasty big blocks over the years, 489,496, got a decent ‘54 in her now, 10.3:1, 990’s, small solid roller pump gas motor. Also has a Ford 9”, 4.56’s, super t-10. Fun truck, I’m going to be doing some more suspension work figured ya might get a kick outta my project.

Cheers

AS

Welcome from SoCal San Diego!

Search for a program on this site called PIXresizer

It will shrink them to workable sizes.

k think I figured how to convert to jpeg and save as Joey from here out. So I drove the truck some this fall, first time in nearly 20 years. Built a fairly angry 454 from stuff kicking around and she worked real well. Have tons of pics of the engine machining/build if you’re interested. I couldn’t get a roller pilot bushing and installed a bronze one, probably a little too tight and didn’t soak in enough oil cuz it trashed and took out my input and release sleeve/ bearing retainer. Made one up and still have input noise, figure the shaft is tweaked. Was going to order T-10 parts when something else came along...


MODS. WTH JPEG isn’t even supported? I can’t be bothered with a site that can’t accept standard pictures.

Sorry guys, no Lenco, four link, tubbed action for you I guess.


Peace AS

JPEG is supported, as are several other file formats.  The file size is limited.  You can use any JPEG editor that can proportionally change/decrease file size while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image.

I had to email that to myself. I’m not doing that for 300 photos and counting. It’s sized for ants like 200kb was my only option under the limit.
