I remember seeing some Thom Taylor drawings in an old issue of Scale Auto, that were of that style truck. The coolest of them was one that carried...
So, are you planning on leaving the bullet holes in the cowl? Real bullet holes just scream class. Where can I find more info on the Messaround?
I just read through Grant Galbraith's article on The Stovebolt page, and he talks about using the '85 Astro 11 inch clutch. He doesn't give a part...
I don't remember the part #, but I think I got it off of the Inliners International website. Either there, or the Stovebolt pages. I've got it out...
Look on the side of the block, right under the exhaust manifold. There's a number cast into the block. If the last three digits are 3-1-8, it's a...
I really envy you guys out west. If you find a body of that vintage around here, it'd be rust from the door handles down. And up, for that matter....
Here's an update on this perticular problem. I went to the local transmission shop (owned by the father of a friend of mine). He let me dig...
It'd be best if the vent is above the fuel level. That's why I ran mine along the frame to the high point, just even with the rear wheels.
Those bump stops are plenty big. You can cut an inch or so off of them to get a little more room.
I shortened the filler neck on my '54 and ran it straight up into the trunk. The cap sits about 3" above the trunk floor now. I made a small bung...
PBR, I just picked up a Chevy cab like that, this last summer. In fact, I had about the same thing in mind for mine. Looks good. I already saved...
Find a company that sells them, and compare the price. As complex as they appear to be, that price doesn't sound totally out of line. I don't know...
The front seat shouldn't be any different. To the best of my knowledge, the back seat should work also.The best way to find out, try it.
When it comes to the wife, the most important rule is... It's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for her permission.
All of the S-10 T5's are "Non-World Class". Like stated above, they'll bolt to the 235 truck bellhousing, but you'll have to drill the mounting...
Mike, Are there any places online that sell upholstery supplies? My local fabric store wasn't much help when I asked them. Phil
The one I had was a "new" Mallory from Patrick's. $275 smackers. The Pertronix conversion cost me about $70 from the local parts house. Of course,...
Thanks Squablow. I knew someone would have an answer for me.
I know this isn't the greatest picture, but I'm trying to figure out what year/ make/ model this car is. I got the picture from a friend of mine...
The O.D. of the spindle spacer is 1.995". So, the seal I.D. is probably about .010-.020" less than that.
mosimpson, I'm no expert, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. If I were going to make that piece, I'd make my cuts through 3 sides...
Maybe it's just me, but that thing looks like it has the body of a VW Bug!! Definitely different.
Let me double check my drawings, and get back to you.
I just talked to Tom Lagdon on Friday. He said that the first three things a guy should do with these old Chevy 6's is 1) water heat the intake 2)...
I might be mistaken. I know the teeth are left, right and center. I thought that the support bars were too, but maybe not. I guess I never looked...
I just turned 31 this last January. It wasn't all that long ago when I thought 30 was old. Needless to say, My perspective has changed in the last...
Try the search function. This is a topic that has come up dozens of times. Otherwise, check out the Inliners International website, Langdon's...
Why buy it when you can make it. A man after my own heart. BTW, the term billet is extremely overused and miss-used.
Something to keep in mind, there's a right side, left side, and center. Which one do you need? I might have one laying around.
