I'm doing a full restore (required work) on my 6400. Not in love with the Anthony grain bed with single hyd hoist. Darn thing is 13' long and 95" wide with a full steel diamond plate top and weighs ... a bunch. Was thinking of modifying the upper scissor deck and just welding/bolting it onto the frame without the hyd and lower rails portion. No sides on it. I think Id rather have a gin pole and rolling tailboard setup with the PTO powering the winch. Open to ideas. Chassis work and brakes are finished, brake and vacuum lines are replaced, tires and wheels rebuilt, new king pins, rebuilt front springs, wheel bearings. Body work and paint is next. 261 is bored 0.080" over, crank mains and rods are 0.040" under, new cam, pistons, lifters, oil pump etc. Engine should goe back together this week but now I've found a cracked intake manifold flange and bored out off-center holes in the exh manifold so now I'm searching for those replacements. Anybody know of some good ones? See my Swap Meet listing.
Whoop! Sounds like a good Aggie. Me too, living twenty miles west of Austin in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
