Re: Long shot: low budget parts for custom truck

The snow blower gearbox has no differential in it, just so you know. I'm not-yet doing anything wrong, I have not bought anything yet. The snow blower gearbox I pictured is a photo off an ebay auction that I do not intend to purchase, it was just a handy photo to share with you. If I DO use one, I w...

Re: Long shot: low budget parts for custom truck

'nother quick update. I messed around with the riding mower rear. It is two speed and no reverse. Those of you who own street trucks, how important do you really think reverse is?

Building a custom truck from scratch on a very small budget. I am looking for people's cast-offs and stuff from 'junk piles' that you may never use. "One man's trash is another's treasure" type stuff. My project is a Ford F150 street truck, NOT a race truck. I am trying to make it look lik...

Hi all. I am a total newbie to this site and fairly new to this type of project. I have been thinking about/planning this build for about 10 years and have just not had enough to do anything with it.
