I been saying that for years. It's scary!
Join up at the "Slick 60's" website for all the info you will need on your truck. What you have is commonly known as a "Wrongbed" on that site. It...
Be careful when purchasing a conversion kit. Most require 15" wheels. The 62 Chryslers had 14" wheels with "nubs" that held the stock wheel covers...
My two Mopars. The 64 barely makes the HAMB cut, and the 67 isn't considered HAMB "friendly'! :p
I remember hearing about the girl in the 'Vette being in the Roanoke, Va. area when I was cruising around in the mid seventies. Never actually saw...
I hate the Craiglist Flakes that post a picture of a fender or 1/4 panel and nothing showing the whole car. Or the damned "sideways" pictures! LOL
$4 for a box that includes the hub puller! And no one has told him how bad he sucks yet?
Got 57 Ford car caps on my 66 "Effie".
I am thinking 1-1/4 also.
Wow. I am humbled by how so many gave and/or lost so much. I have heard so many stories from people that were there. I am just a couple of years...
I need a couple of feet of the split, flexible chrome edge bead to cover the ends of some sheet aluminum door panels I fabricated for my truck....
My Dad has an old car trailer with surge brakes. The master cylinder is the same as an early sixties Ford single cylinder.
Best one I ever saw was in about "79 or '80. My buddy bought a project "fixer upper" , and asked me to trailer it home for him. The car was a...
I had a beer can tab chain that started at the rear view mirror and ended up coiled up in the back seat. This was a 70 Road Runner I had in high...
I couldn't help myself. I just found this pic on the Garage Journal forum tonight! :D
Is this the one that was in Mopar Collector's Guide a year or so ago?
Back in the early eighties, I had two Ford trucks with 360s and 2 bbl carbs. Both had adequate power for what I used them for. One was a really...
I was doing a tired, late night thrash to replace the water pump on my old 62 Impala. Installed the pump and fan, put the radiator in, hooked up...
Where did this come from??? :confused: Anyway, Congrats on your kid being interested in working on a project with you. My 13YO daughter came to...
I must have built a dozen of the old Johan models of this. And now I have a full size 64! :D
That looks like an antique shoe spreader.
Join the NRA and watch what happens. I joined and subscribed to their mag a year or so ago. Almost immediately the renewal offers and pressures...
Don't the A 100's have the Mopar 8-3/4" rear end already? Very strong and one of the best out there! Center sections are easily interchangeable,...
I will check with NAPA this week. No luck anywhere else this week end. Looks like we are running into another obstacle in dealing with old style...
I got caught in the rain today, and discovered that my wiper inserts were rotten. No problem just wheel into the parts store and get refills,...
Harbor freight sells a copper spoon to back up holes while mig welding. I bouught one for about $7 or $8. It works well.
I just remember my Dad having a hard time with the double wheel cylinder set up on our 62 Chrysler when I was a kid. Too young to drive at the...
Please tell me more about this subframe swap. I know these cars are unibodies and the subframes are removable. Have you researched this much? Is...
You guys are bringing a tear to my eyes. All my life, I been like this, a social outcast. I thought it was just me. I have finally found a...
My trick was to use one of those WD 40 "ink pens" and put a couple drops into each wheel hub before the race. (It's invisible :D)
