I installed a hitch on my Imperial behind the license plate. Replaced the rear frame crossmember with a piece of box tube and made the plate flip...
I don't have any cool pictures to share, but I did manage to install my new RediRad. Hopefully the stock radio continues to work for a while. It...

I had great luck with Fatsco when I did my iron Torqueflite. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I had a nice long reply typed out for this, but the app crashed and I lost it. Short version: love the show, great vibe this year compared to...
This was my third year, and arguably the best. The quality of the cars in attendance was great, even if the quantity was down a bit. Plenty of...
Found this picture from an old eBay listing to confirm. Thanks guys. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
@rodster: I'm more inclined to believe that it's farm related based on where the car was found. I'll look into it. Edit: confirmed, but...
@HRP: I suppose anything is a possibility at this point. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
This decal/sticker was on the door of a friend's '50 Chevy when he pulled it out of a northern Illinois field. We haven't been able to figure out...
It seemed to be a great place to find a GM 4 speed. Saw what seemed to be thousands of them. I did manage to find some wheels for my car though....
They are cleaning up. Some cars are being saved, but if you need something, It would be wise to act quickly. Posted using the Full Custom...
The Dynasty is a sweet machine if you've got the coin, especially on steel. Just don't plan on doing much aluminum with it. 3/16 to maybe 1/4" AL...
Shot in the dark here, but perhaps a part of a display or light fixture from a dealer? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I'm in Antioch, not far from you. There are some great guys and clubs around, and plenty of events over the summer, and even a few during the...
I've got the same issue on my '59 Imperial. Probably the same brake system, dual wheel cylinders. Mine only seems to happen on the first stop of...
Yep. Everything is spelled out clear as mud. I'm guilty of skimming over posts and picking out what I feel are the important bits. Obviously I...

Sorry, I didn't read 8 pages of a thread before posting. Saw the picture with the angled shocks and assumed it was the current setup. If that...
I'm certainly no chassis expert, but the upper eyelet of the shock being turned that way may be causing a binding issue as well with the shock at...
8" has a different pattern. Smaller. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Counterweight. Whatever they were lifting with the rear boom could have been enough to pull the front end in the air. Use whatcha got.
If you're going Cummins down the road, use the NV4500, or just leave the NP435 alone until you're ready to swap. Advance Adapters makes...
A ZF 5 was never made with an FE style bell. You would need an adapter plate if one exists, or a different transmission. Consider the NV4500 if...
More than once I've had to manually push a wheel cylinder in (retract the pistons) after installing new shoes.
I agree. The top is already pretty short compared to the sides of the body.
Good luck to ya. I think pulling it apart to check it out is the right choice. You should be happier in the long run.
If the rust comes off that easily, I wouldn't be worried about the gears. Not turning by hand makes me question the bearings though. New or not,...
Not to stir the pot here, but the limo is a bit different from the car advertised in the OP. The engine and dash in the limo look to be be...
