I was on a couple of days ago and a guy had some great pictures of his setup...I can't remember where I was....I was just doing my homework before I get started... | | |

I moved the 2 outboard carbs in a little for clearance. Check the firewall clearance carefully, if you get an Offy manifold the carb flange is directly in line with the intake port so make sure it will work. I had to modify the fender brace to go around the carb on my '53. Have fun! | | |

My 51 looks like yours but a little lower to ground....and not a 5 window | | |

Right now I've got the outboard carbs blocked, only running on the center, so - gas mileage is good! Throttle linkage is stock and I built a linkage so that all carbs open at the same time. Whole set-up cost less than $100 but I haven't rebuilt the other 2 carbs yet.
My truck sits a little lower front and rear than the pictures show. | | |
