I left them in. The front ring got cobbled up slightly so I had to massage it slightly to get everything to seat properly.
My apologies to the board...this truck it still a work in progress after all this time HOWEVER the engine runs strong now and the bog is gone....
Yes, you are soooooo gay....in a happy way. I dont know how you can be "Grumpy" though with all those damn cool vehicles ...nice fleet
My stock steel wheels came with the car. Way less than $750...but we digress :rolleyes:
I think my dog dishes look as natural as the front and rear bench seat on/in my 65 Biscayne as they do on many other old cars. Not about...
Just bought a replacement motor mount from local store...the replacement looked like the OP's "India" piece (tin), my original looked like the...

Waaaiiitt a minute here!!!....I think you left an important detail out here. Did you strip all the paint off and hit the center with 1500g?? Or...

Any luck?

Pretty certain it is not (I researched it when I bought the truck)...I HOPE it's not...I told the machine shop it was a 223. Is this what you...
Is this a "super rare" 2 15/16 (2.9375) option? This may be bad logic, but can I assume it is better/stronger than the 2.77 ? I dont think my...
So what's the proper model name/number then? Can I verify with casting numbers? Thanks for the info.
<cough> Bump... It does indeed have a side cover. I am going to ASSume that this is a 2.77 transmission. It's pretty puny...about as big as a...
