FedEx will drop off a new Black Friday PrimeWeld CUT60 plasma cutter to replace the Miller Spectrum 375. Scheduled delivery is this Friday. I...
Anything more than four or five years old was an old car to most people when I was growing up in the fifties and sixties. I don’t think I saw my...
1975 sounds good, but I just read where the collectible and special interest world is moving into the eighties and nineties, hard as it is to...
It’s too perfect for me. I’d be afraid of damaging it just walking past. Beautiful!
A L3170 search picks up a couple of Facebook and eBay hits, but no technical information. your best bet is to somehow find a late seventies or...
Oil pan capacity and full roller rather than Silent link timing chain jump out, too.
Another. 3X’er here. Why can’t I have nice things?
Lincoln based Y block used in F750 and F800 trucks. 302 in the F750 and 332 in the F800. And not the SBF 302 or the FE / Ft based 332. This...
Look into a Menards pole building. Even a small one with a gravel floor will be worlds better than a tent structure. Concrete can be added...
That’s what I remember. The L79 was dropped for 67 in the Chevy II. Al least it was no longer listed after 66. The 66 production was the end....
Pretty sure the large commercial trucks had a larger box with slower ratio to provide easier steering since they carried heavier loads.

I voted for number one. I think I like something more along the lines of garage art, with most of the parts there, than starting from scratch....
