Hi all , just got an Australian Valiant ute project for my son , it has the big bad slant in it so thought I would join up here and maybe learn a thing or 2 .

Im into drag racing and have a 63 super stock Plymouth 526 big block and have learnt a fair bit bit about big Chryslers but I no nothing about the slant's ..... yet .

I will put up some pic's soon .

Fair dinkum!

Welcome on the board. Thanks for the pics. Up here, we don't often get to see details like the RHD oil pump and Bosch distributor. H'mm, what's the story on the fuel pump blockoff...?

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Thanks for the welcome , I guess that the fuel pump shat itself at one stage , it has a small electric pump atm , I will go back to a mechanical .

I am restoring this ute for my son he gets his drivers lic in about 10 months , its in good cond and was a one owner .
Going to respray the outside , retrim , big wheels (17x8's&7's), 4bbl and extractors , should come up nice .
Got it on a rotisserie now, check out the condition of the tray and floor

I think that was kind of his point. But, we don't use it much in Arizona either.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

So.... Arizona is a pretty good place to find a project A body?

There are a few around. They are mostly rust free if they haven't been abandoned in a field or something. The sun is really hard on the rubber and plastic parts and the floors will go out if the body is leaking because the water collects in the carpets or under the rubber floor mats. You don't see so much of the extensive body cancer that is prevalent in the north and east of the country.
