Hope to get a few answers to a couple questions here and hopefully answer a few questions myself. Thanks Jeff. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Jeff, welcome to the stovebolt from another 37 pickup man! That 37 should run nice with the 261. Just ask those questions in the most appropriate forum and you'll get plenty of help from lots of knowledgeable folks willing to share.
I might add that while I don't know what part of Wis. your from I'm sure there are some bolters near by. Just watch the post and you'll find them...if they don't find you first!!
Good luck and post us up a pic or two when you get a chance.
(Oh, I have a chance to look/buy another 37 not far from me, if I can talk my "banker" into to it) | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 133 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 133 | ok gotta ask, where abouts in Wisconsin?

I called up Patricks in Arizona for my question that I was having, but still look forward on searching around on the forum. I'm down south in WI, south of Madison in the Janesville area. Thanks Jeff. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | Welcome to the "Bolt"!! I had questions about my '55 261,when I first bought my T.F. 6500. Patrick, and his son,Phillip,are not only knowledgeable about "our" engines,and assorted drive-lines,but very helpful,and not out to "make a buck",either! I've bought a few items from Patrick's,and have been more than happy with the items,and their customer-service!! I installed "Fenton" (Thanks,Cletis)! headers on my 2-ton,but matched it with the stock intake/carburetor. Much better performance,but you'll need to plumb the copper tubing for the heat-riser,since the weather up here in our neck-of-the-woods tends to get chilly. I wouldn't be DRIVING my truck today,much-less have it in the shape it's in,(NOT DONE),if it weren't for this AWESOME site,and the people dedicated to submitting GREAT information,as well as "links",to parts and services! Please submit some pic's,when you get a chance!! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 117 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 117 | randy can you change ur poster on the gabfest from last yr to this year , its on the 27th of july, poster is in the events ..mick , you guys coming this year
