If you drive around town with Armstrong power steering in a 5000lb truck for two weeks, your arms will look great!
I'm keeping the drums. They work just fine in this winter weather crap we're having here right now, so I see no reason why they won't work in the...
This is a restored 4X4 that I just love. It looks original as hell and I hope mine looks as good as this. THIS is my inspiration!
I've been a bit all over the place with my plans for this truck, but i finally have a CONCRETE plan for him. Fo' Sho' :) Thanks, I'm totally...
Maybe you can make this work. Sorry for the link. http://oldgmctrucks.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/462107036/m/3911036873?r=6121046873#6121046873
Just did the one wire, self-exciting, 63 amp alternator conversion tonight. The damn thing works like a charm. I got a conversion bracket from...
Subscribed. Seen it on other sites, looking forward to yours.
You can use whatever oil you want, and if you want the zinc (more commonly known as ZDDP) use a pint of STP. It has the ZDDP that the oil...
sorry for not posting sooner, folks. I've been busy with other stuff. Not a lot of progress on this project. I threw some primer on it for...
I work for Advance Auto, too, and the parts business has been slow, too, but it is picking up. People aren't buying new cars, just fixing up the...
I've have my ass handed to me by lots of ppl here, and by the boss, himself, no less. I learned my lesson, and I absolutely LOVE it here, and...
And as for the width? As far as I know, all 8 lug wheels have the same bolt pattern, but as far as the width of the axle is concerned, is there a...
And I've decided that I'd like to restore this truck with only a couple mods for safety and driveabilty. A modern auto trans for the Mrs. and a...
Yes, as soon as I can find one. LMC doesn't sell one, so I gotta find a used one. I'd prefer chrome as I'm gonna run chrome front and rear...
Wheels will be OK once i get some good hubcaps (thinking 57 Caddy Caps), as for the outside mirror, this morning proved its hard to drive without...
If anyone has any knowledge they'd like to share about swapping in a TH350 or an alternator into this truck, I'd like to hear it.
I know what you mean! I have a customer that I've done business with and talked to everyday for 2 years just plopped this beast in my lap last...
GOOD CALL! I didn't think of that, but not a bad idea! I'm toying with the idea of swapping the SM420 trans for a TH350. If anyone has any...
I did not know that, THANKS! It IS a 270! 32SEDAN: Yeah, It's getting dropped. Speedway (and others) sell 3" lowering springs for a 1/2...
Just bought a new project. 58 GMC 3/4 ton. Runs and drives (drove it home, RUNS GREAT!!!!) Its got the Straight 6 (270 I think) 4 speed (not...
a.k.a. "Mexi-chrome". Commonly used on 3 out of 4 wheels on a 90 Corolla. The fourth wheel has a spinner hubcap that is missing one of it's...
Trying to link to a photo of the road course. Hope this works....
There's a similar track between Indianola and Liberty Center. It has been closed for years, and now the Army Corps of Engineers use the land for...
x2 07 was red. 08 is bad-a$$ black!
And if you can, work with the body seams. They hide screw-ups better than flat panels.
Don't want to steal your thread, but I just got my alliance tag today. This is my 2nd year, and as Ryan can attest, my checkered past (;)) in the...
Whatever the DOT wants it to be. I don't really care as long as they let me have plates.
In almost a month, nobody has anything to say? I'm hurt!!!;) Just got the rear leaf springs figured out, and lowered the rear kick-up. ( I was...
That car is sick, man! Great work
