I would like to apologize to Terry aka 38Chevy454 for calling him Chuck earlier on this thread... Goth!I feel like a such a dumbass! I didint even get his hamb name right: Chuck aka 454chevy38.... Sorry Terry.you been a great help to me.
I read somewhere that the optimum u-joint operating angle is about 4 degrees. Something about enough angle to keep all the needle bearings moving and distributing the lubricant. Straight constant zero degree operating angle is bad it said.
Hey Seth, I just finished reading your whole epic build thread account from start to this point. I need a break... Anyway, I noticed you somehow managed to acquire some new floor pans. Where did they come from? I didn't think anyone was making COE specific body parts. Apparently I am wrong on that count... I'm about to start fabricating the front half of the floor in my '54 C-800. I was able to get the back half from Mid Fifties because it is the same as the conventional cab same for the inside and outside rear cab corners. I was also able to use the conventional rockers by cutting them short. If it was not too expensive I'd like to get the front floor pans and the covers in the center.
Hey Iwannaflattie, I was just thinking if you really want it to be the Micheal Jackson Special you are going to have to change the signage on the doors to say "Free Ice Cream" I don't know if I mentioned it earlier but I like the way you are going with the old hauler, I may have to venture a trip to get a ride when it is done.
I knew I subscribed to this thread for a good reason. Jack and coke make the world go round!!! really nice job on the coe
Yeah we never go to meetings. I ended up with 5 degrees.thanks. My floors just got cleaned and painted I didnt have to replace any sheet metal on my cab..sorry. thanks Down the road I will build a coe van, I will call it "the rape van" It would be a honor for you to drive it man. Yeah jack and coke doe miracles... UDATE: Pretty crappy weather here this week and my bottle must have a leak somewhere,everytime I pick it up,there is less jack in there. My buddy didnt bring the engine like he said,oh well....i'll wait....i really wanted to take to viva.
Update.. Well,running out Jack and the weather doesn't look very promising either: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday shitty shitty shitty shitty shitty shitty shitty............. How ever I did get somethings done yesterday. I redneckeered(engineer) a lower steering shaft bearing securer(is that even a word?) Also I redneckeered my bed bolting system. I got very lucky too,Somehow the cutting disk on my 4" grinder exploded and I only suffered a scratch on my right arm... I was so shocked! I cant imagine how long it would have to take for my arm to heal if the disk went an inch higher than it did. I am right handed and I cant imagine holding my bottle with the left hand or pimp slapping someone with the left hand... That deserved a toast. Still waiting for my engine...I should have bought a running engine from cl instead of try to wheel and deal with this buddy... anywho... here is some crap shots. \
Good to hear the death disc didn't get you. Did you get the title issue figured out? Crappy weather, better have a Jack till it passes.
Yeah,stupid disc almost got me... Ant I think I got the Title figured out Below my two favorite things TAAAAAAAAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS
I think Im very lucky. A moth ago I got some free 16 inch steel wheels from an old dodge. After taking a good look at the tires,they seem to be fairly new. Im gonna guess 400 miles on them. they still have those little hairs on the side and soe left on the surface where it meets the pavemet. the thread is 99 percent there. How do I make sure they are good? The rims are almost new,with black paint still on them..Im guessing they ditched this wheels for some jayz wheels.
Regarding the tires, my understanding is that there is a date code molded into the sidewall. Given that you'd have to research the manufacturer or maybe a local tireshop could decode it for you. My $.02, hope this helps.
My thoughts exactly! Hells its even better if shes dumb and mute! Regarding the tires...these are no 1980 tires,,they seem to be new...maybe its too good to be true...
Can't beat free! I'd use em'. If they have raised white letters, all the better, cut in the whites... if not, they still make these... http://www.portawalls.com/ ...
Beside the dot stamp is the build date for tires. Example: 3608 is the 36th week of 2008. Very cool truck. peace
