Re: What size slant six ?
If you have the short heater hose in front of the engine on top of the water pump connection,about a 2 inch hose then you have a 170,but if the hose is about 4 or 5 inches long,then you have the 225 engine

Re: Ballast Resistor Question
I think I may have read somewhere,sometime that there is also a coil that has an internally built in resister. I am not for sure though.

Re: Rubber shift boot replacement
Man,I think I could sure find something better to buy for $120 than a rubber shifter boot. Time to get creative and see what the local wrecking yard has. One never knows what he might find and at abargain price. Good luck

Re: W300 split rims
If you do keep the old wheels keep on eye on the tire guy that mounts it that he don't dent up your snap rings.Some go over board with the sledge hammer. With the old wheels ,besides the tire,you also need the flap and tube. That's what I like about tubeless wheels and tires,less things you have to ...

Big rig tire shops will work on them still. The Goodyear shop here will work on them. Don't try and mont them y...

Re: engine paint color
I've seen yellow as the original color for the slant six truck engine. I have also heard that the color that dissipates heat the best is black.

Re: No brakes/tail or dash lights
Believe it or not,it was that both the light bulb's brake function part had went out. I installed new bulbs and brakes are working again. I think all the moisture from the rain had shorted them both out at the same time. Weird though.

Re: Underbody fuel tank
how about the gas tank from one of those tank cars from the 60s or 70s placed in the same spot,where the spare tire would mount at the back of the frame wth the opening in the back.Those were big tanks,they had to be.those cars were gas guzzlers

The conversion should be easy,but not all the threads on the junction box are the same size,you'll need an adapter for one of them.The rear brake line scews int...

Re: permanently seal,close the cowl cover vents?
Another option is sealing it up completely,but getting an extra cowl from the junk yard in case you want to install it for the hot summer months. A junkyard cowl shouldn't be expensive and they are still available,maybe a few years from now they might not be .
