No fins out back, so a '55? Nice car, not a huge fan of the wheels either. Some of these cars look good with big wheels, but they have to flow with the style, them dont.
For instance, awhile back there was a mid 50's Buick in Hot Rod mag, built by Rad Rides by Troy. That had 20's on it, but they fit with the car. I'll try and find a pic.

Either way, sweet car, owner can do as he wants, if he likes it, all that matters

Yep 55
I agree on the wheels,old cars should have a old school wheel IMHO

Of course I still sport 15s on my 82 too,with no plans of changing that either

Yep
Get it warmed up,with the air cleaner off,rev it up and smoother it down with your hand over the carb till it nearly dies,remove hand and clean it out by reving it back up. I do this two or three times and it usually work good for clearing goo and trash out of the boosters,which is what's wrong with yours Caleb.

I'll be dogged! I think it worked. I got bored after watching it run flawlessly for 20 minutes, which is twice as long as it had been.

Thanks guys!

Calebs real problem, ford engine.

Nah, different 460.

[ellis93]

But with you.....it could have been one!

[PToombs]

I figured it was, him being in the closet and all. And we were talking about gassers!
That's just as bad though, a red tractor.........

[diesel freak01]

Easy on the red tractors!! Nice 460!

[cmann250]

Thanks. It usually runs great, even though it sits for months at a time I like using it for hay since it has great hydraulics and power steering, plus the T/A. But it flat out drinks the gas

[DMan1198]

Putting a diesel in would fix that problem right up

[cmann250]

The 460 and 560 diesels had a reputation for tearing up rear ends. They were a few cubes bigger and N/A obviously.

After the -60 series I have to say I'd buy green. If I could afford them

[DMan1198]

Anything's cheap if you're crafty, and are willing to rebuild engines

[cmann250]

Not New Generation John Deeres. Ragged out 4020s with bald tires and 10,000 hours still fetch over $7000 at the right auction.

2 hours of mowing pasture and roadsides says the carb on my tractor is fixed. I dumped some cheap gas treatment in the tank for good luck. runs like a top again

Over the past two days, I'd been having a fuel system scare on my Dodge. About six separate times it cranked excessively and fired after I gave it some "gas". The whole time it was below 1/4 tank. I refilled at my regular station today and haven't has an issue since. I think the last station I filled up at slipped some B20 in on me and it cleaned up some crap in the system.

While filling up, a bus load of douche bag high school baseball players rolls up and one made the "hoss the gas, blow some smoke" hand signal. I kindly told him that my truck was stock. He made the motion again. I pointed to the diesel pump and said "Says $100, can't be doing that." His reply, "Oh, it costs me $120 to fill up".

I bit my tongue, but wanted to say, "I wouldn't care either if the credit card had my dad's name on it!"

[PToombs]

They have a hand signal for that now? You'll have to show me that one.

[cmann250]

It's kind of a wind it up and let the smoke pour out down low kind of gesture.

I've seen this little piece cruising around town: http://kokomo.craigslist.org/cto/4507061020.html

I hate short beds, but it's a nice truck.
