So I'm wondering what in hell could generate over 80 pages about headers on a '37 Ford...........................now I see it's a little "private" club.
Those deep rims really work with the truck shape/size.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Unca Bob - it's NOT a private/secret sect, but there are some stipulations that are hidden even from us.
Amazing that it took you goin' on almost 5 years to "find" usDave W

Wow! Thanks for all the kudos, guys!! I love this truck but must admit it has stolen it's share of time from the '37 in the title of this thread!! It still has the 352V8/cruise-o-matic/Dana 44 limited slip drive train, all of which I have threatened to toss more than once! It runs great, sounds great (especially after adding the headers & flowmaster 50s) and to be honest, it's the first vehicle I've ever owned with a limited slip rear end. I love that and now the '37 MUST have a limited slip!!
The down side is the mpg's..... which almost translates to gpm's!
But everytime I drive it, which is everyday, I get a thumbs up, a wave, a "nice truck", "what year is it?", "wanna sell it?" or many other comments that keep me putting gas in it!
I've owned the truck for almost 3yrs. My dad had a '65 F100 when I was a kid and I always liked it. I have mixed feeling about the twin-i-beam suspension but I made it better by converting to power steering, power disc brakes, and a front sway bar from all from a '78 F150. It's a pretty easy swap and direct fit. It's a pretty straight, mostly original California truck and I haven't been able to veer too far from that but who knows what the future holds if I win the lottery or something??!!!
Anyway, before I turn this into an essay.....
Thanks again for the kudos, guys!

-Uncle Bob & Dave S, Welcome to our NOT SO PRIVATE, Private thread... It's DEFINITELY not meant to be private! It's really more of a gabfest on some days but I love it! There's is a ton of great info in here if one has the patience to find it! Of course, you guys can write the book on great info! And Bob, I do hope you find your pants this morning!!

Tip of the day....
A wire wheel in your 4" angle grinder is an excellent method of skin removal....

A cut off heel in same grinder only puts a notch in a knuckle.

The Australians have finally discovered the origin of the word 'Vegan.' Apparently it's an old Aboriginal word for 'Bad Hunter.'
