If toe-in isn't the issue and spindles are true and tire/wheels are balanced properly and without any defects or buldges then are the bearrings...
Drop it and leave it alone...sweet truck!
That stuff looks great. Does the metallic catch light very well...how noticeable is it? Did you squirt it or have a shop do it? I'm just wondering...
Thanks for taking the time to write all that out Highlander, I appreciate hearing from guys like you that know their stuff. Kudos...
73roundlight, brother you have class... thanks.
Never heard of it...I'll Google it and check it out. Thanks for the info
Nope, don't want it to last forever, just want something flat for a year or so...I plan on painting it when I have the time and money to do so,...
Well, the problem for me is budget. I just don't want to spend a few hundred bucks for something I'm going to remove and redo in a year or so. I...
I just can't see spending good money on primer that will absorb moisture and eventually lead to rust. I've looked into flat clear coat but not...
But not with magnets...just a small technicality. Again, I PERSONALLY don't see an issue with shaving hinges and handles and magnetic latches......
First off - thank you for your service to our country - God Bless you and your family! I have a '56 Chevy big window stepside myself and am torn...
Like I said, cool idea. It's just curious that some of the pre '63 rule keepers didn't bash you for a concept that maybe showed up in the late...
I've been banned...
Great old photos... very cool to have that history in the family. So what are you going to build?
Priceless :D
Guy here in town has one he's been asking $1,200 for...you scored at $750! The Chrysler LONG cross manifolds are cool too, but the main issue is...
Not sure if this will help or not, but here's my late fathers '35 Dodge pickup that was built in the mid-60's with a 425 Buick nailhead...sits the...
Great pics...and some incredible rides!
You see AstroMonkey, I don't get that feeling from them. It sounds to me like nothing else can even be mentioned or you're on the rag...LOL :D...
They are unsafe when you have 4 times the horsepower and need to stop NOW! You cannot feather drums, you get ONE peddle pump and when they're wet...
I said...I can see that discs are ugly on an open wheeled rod...I agree that point. They're also lighter and don't really need disc stopping...
The car has a heritage...replacing the "original" grill ruins that. I like the way it was done...unique and great looking.
Just wondering why originality is coveted over safety? I mean, we put an engine in our rides that FAR exceeds the performance of any original...
You know Coby, those photos look slightly artsy to me...hmmmm :D Wonderful, so now I feel the need to subscribe to a new publication (calling...
I like both, but seems like I have less time to wrench lately. I think for me the satisfaction in wrenching comes when it's done and I've...
Sheesh pansies...who's going to help out? Maybe I need to make the 8 hr drive...though my '56 may not quite feel the same. I get the feeling they...
Hey Blondie, just be yourself and do your thing...and welcome from another (somewhat unwittingly controversial) FNG!
Thanks for the info guys :)
Hemi's are cool...if you're truly interested in a Hemi and you can't find parts for the 291, I'd keep looking for a 331. When everyone else has...
