I borrowed one of those years ago and tried to clean my carport floor. Did so so, I used something like powered Comet cleanser then washed it out...
As many people complain about Coker tires, I wouldn’t offer a discount to them either if it was me. Never had any, so I can’t speak to their...
I had forgotten about the shifter bolting to the floor pan. They were a bit notch shifting best I remember. Not so sure about the mounting holes...
Only thing I have that I might do some day is my late son’s 82 F100 stepside pickup. Got a good running 460 C6 in a E350 van motor home I may yank...
This would be the route I’d go if you can find one. The Sag 4 speed is probably as strong or stronger than the non synchro 3 speed, as long as you...
I’d look for one of the “ imposter” top loader 3+OD. Basically the same size as a normal top loader 4 speed but 4th gear is overdrive. Not as...
That is exactly where they have gone with big rigs. It has to meet emissions regs for a certain year which can be much later than the vehicle age,...
For a long time, trucks here had to have a different plate according to its gvwr, but they were never deemed commercial. For example, a 1/2 ton...

Never had the tag office fail to collect that $10 or $15 title transfer fee. But never had them ask for one that never had one, or like now, not...
Corrrect on all accounts. AL didn’t even get titles until they were Federally mandated for the 1975 models. Last few years they changed that to...

Nice work. Like the fact it's not too high, yet still high enough to do the job.
