Ok that right there is just plain cool. I reckon I fall in the heavy equipment guys category as I am about to set up a 500 ton crane!

Well worn teeth, wear pads on the sides, the scallop worn between the teeth
. Some artistic hard facing would really wake it up
I could see myself biffing it on the teeth sticking out in front. Just showed it to the wife, not only no but hell no.

The Weather Service gang hit it right on the head today.
They said 75° and breezy. I think 35mph gusts count as breezy

35 mph winds? Hah! Just a normal day up here on the Tundra where we only have a tree every twenty miles or so. It don’t count as breezy till the wind is strong enough to flip the lid up on your trash can, bounce off your head, and knock you senseless. Or slam the truck door closed on your legs.The Weather Service gang hit it right on the head today.

You forgot getting the open car door and blowing even more open and springing the door and door jam
That was frequent in Barstow My friend at the body shop had some 3/4 drive sockets he used in the door jam to reverse the wind damage

yes, but money is my problem. Unless someone on here has one they could ship to me for free, the swap mounts is the route I'm going.

From what I found, it looked like the v8 k-frame had different mount surfaces that are higher up.
"V8'ing" a Slant K member
Early A they are. Not sure about later ones.
Yup early is like that, 67 and up there is a difference between v8 and slant.
If he changes k frames he will want to avoid the 67, it's a one year only k frame and what makes it different is how the idler arm mounts, the replacement idler arm for 67 only is super hard to find. It's just easier to get a 68 to 72.
Are you sure that's not a 360. The exhaust manifolds and carb look real 360ishIt has been acquired!!!!

Evening. Survived my tour in AfghanIndiana for this months. Never seen such disarray and chaos in my life.
Well I almost finished the bricks today.
Managed to get within 2 ft of doors then ran out of Bricks.
I don't want to do 2ft of Belgium block. So I need to go down and dig up another 100 bricks. .that should get me close enough to finish with the larger blocks . They. are about 12x18

The driver side mount is identical on v8 and slant k frames, the difference is the passenger side. The slant passenger mount is lower and flatter.
If you can weld, you really can modify your existing frame to bolt up to factory v8 mounts a lot easier than that thread there.
Sounds like good times. Not!
Looks like 80’s truck 318 mannifolds
