I know this is an old thread but I have a question burning a whole in my head.... In some of those photos it looks like you welded your wheel...
I have replaced MANY cracked twin i-beams on late model Ford F series trucks. Forged is better than cast and it's not an opinion its just a fact....
My opinion...fwiw...is that if it's a work truck then the dents will be right back in the bed within a few weeks so why fix them? How many brand...
That truck is done! I say drive it.
As rusty said. I cut those supports clean off on my 52 Styleline with no trouble at all. Everybody's doin' it....you should too. :)
Disconnect the highest point in the system and let the air out.
I've had way more trouble with sticking floats out of holleys than I have edelbrocks. Other than that, they are pretty equal in reliability.
Hey Gary! Welcome to the HAMB. I live in Lebanon, OH too. I am sure I will see you around.
The 96-up Vortec motors have a pretty nasty efi setup on them. The central sequential multi port units are prone to problems and the plastic...
I got a realy nice set of RHE trailing arms off *bay for $75 last month. They were used but they were in great shape. The guy selling them was...
I did a brake job in a hurry once in the shop and forgot to put one of the drums back on before I bolted up the wheels. I hit the pedal and it...
I think his point was that the motor CAME from a 54 and is a 54 model motor with the later style lifters. :D
Wow! That's a steal. I thought you said it was rusty. In my neck of the woods that's a rust free car. I have seen 5 year old cars rusted out way...
Great! Now the price of 4 door cars is going to start climbing, and some of us actually like 4 doors. :P
It's not just a matter of late model vs old car either. I used to work for a Mechanic and his policy was to get all of the oil changes and brake...
I had a spare Chevy motor in the garage that needed a rebuild. The wife mocked me whenever I talked about rebuilding it. She would say "the motor...

I used to work for a mechanic who was really bad at electrical repairs. He had a mid 90's Cavalier in the shop one day that was blowing a 15 amp...
He could have been right. Running lean raises combustion temps and increases NoX emissions. Sorry I didn't read the whole thread before I...
I was the sound man at that Church for a little over 5 years. I want those 5 years of my life back. :D I did make good money though.
I had a cousin working under a car without stands. The jack collapsed and his arm was completely shattered from the elbow down. He still has...
In a 1968 Chrysler 300 I got off my wife's grandfather I found a 1969 calendar from a drugstore under the rear seat. In the glove box I found a...
We managed to get some zucchini poppers before we left :p and we were only there for about an hour.
Just wanted to say it was nice meeting everyone today. Wish we could have stayed longer. Can't wait to see you all again.
