IMHO, it isn't just about capacity. 8, 9, or 12k winches are all about the same size. The difference is usually internal gearing. A 12k winch will...
Wouldn't bet against it being a factory 89 TH350. During that era, the Blazer, Suburban & 1-ton 4x4 pickups were still square body. Strange things...
Been looking at the 1/2" version. Listed in this week's flyer for less than a hundred bucks. Hard to pass on that, when batteries for my old, worn...
Had a Doug Nash DNE2 behind a 4-speed in a big block dually. Splitting the gears was great, when you were heavy. Having an extra gear on top was...
I've got the General 5 drawer mechanics cart, and the three shelf roller cart. No complaints with either. Actually, impressed with how substantial...
Buzzard pilot at heart.
Way to go louise!!!
Anyone staying at Econolodge during Leadsleds better call & confirm your room. The other day, I found out that they have closed the south wing....
If you go with a Saginaw, you will need to be sure you have the 'truck' snout, on the input shaft. Otherwise, you are locating the tranny with...
If you have a waste oil heater, that would be the safest. A lot of guys I know cut their burner oil with old gas, to make the stove burn cleaner....
Sometimes, even that isn't enough. I needed a new lock cylinder for my 91 K2500. Napa & Federated had chrome. Chrome bad. No like chrome. Jumped...
Steve Burns won the Abe Lincoln contest. He's from over by Munjor. Quite a character.
I'm not president, but should definitely be in consideration for a position on the exectutive council. How about: 47 Pontiac 2dr, that I've had...
Me & OZ1954 & LEW6t9, are already here. Tryin 2 check into our motel (for 1/2 an hour already). Drop by & see us in Pavilion 1, booths P41,P42.
What's wrong with the carb you are running now? If it's just getting tired, the cheapest option is thrown a kit in it. I'm back to running the...
I'm with Budd on this one. Plain old Fel-Pro manifold gaskets, but with anti-seize on the paper side. Some one once told me it would keep the...
I did a lot of considering before choosing the 200r4 for my Deuce. In my case, I felt that I needed the extra 3% of overdrive. 2.5 ton...
I guess I never considered the concept of the rat rod, back when I built my old black wrecker. Mostly, it was purely from a simple, economical,...
I build my own setup. This one is the third generation, and is dead simple. A standard heavy duty accessory relay, with a capacitor soldered in...
Stumbles & belches? You running it on alcohol? ...Oh Wait, that's me.
I'm on the wagon, here. Mold, Hanta, Hiv(just kidding), and dozens of other nasty things are common to vehicles that have seen stationary a long...
In a van, I'd venture that it's probably a 250, BUT I'd hate to stake my reputation on it.....not that my rep is worth much. LOL
I'm hoping to have my 65 Kaiser ragtop(M35 Deuce) roadworthy by then. On the other hand, I'd sure like to bring the ole wrecker down, again, and...
Is there an echo in here?
If you are just softening a couple high spots, I'd try a flap wheel. I've seen them as small as 2" with a 1/4" stem, for die grinders, or the...
I had a 307 in my 73 Nova. It ran pretty good, for a old stock mill, in a kid's car. From what I researched, the 307 blocks are pretty...
My 73 Nova had pinholes where the tanks straps were. My Step-Dad & I remove the tank, sanded it down, spread a thin coat of JB weld around the...
I pulled The body off a 47 Pontiac with 4 2x4's, a 2x12, 2 towels & 3 1" ratchet straps. I cut 1' off the 2x4's and screwed them onto the...
Ii was kicking this very idea around, since moving to Hays. Real estate is stupid, around here. When I mentioned it to the...
Hays, via Osborne, originally from Hamilton. A hillbilly out on the high plains, as it were. And Now back down south, in Park City.
Separate names with a comma.
