Drove past a mid-60's Corvette almost every day in Emmett, ID, just a few blocks from home. All black, manual trans convertible, small block. Guy...
Looked a little more, maybe 8 bolts holding the bed on. I have a lift so would be pretty easy to get it off the frame. Just don't see any way to...
1955 second series 3100 truck. Looked at the manual and seemed straight forward but getting the front pin out seems like a lot more of a project...
Did talk to Greg at Anson. Apparently they moved to Georgia about 5 years ago but he kept the California phone number. Shipping between Oregon and...
Not original trans for the car.
Thanks tracked down number for Anson so will try them tomorrow and post back here.
Hey Frenchtown, are the output shafts the same on the pre-70 C4s and the later trans? Found one from a 1965 Mustang that looks good.
Mine's a late 55.
Need a drop axle for a 1955 Chevy 3100 and talked to Sid. Said he's not buying cores anymore, trying to slow down. Not doing exchange on axles,...
Appreciate the help! I have a 302 and an AOD still in a donor car but more of a project than I can tackle right now.
Bought a 1949 F1 a while back but trans crapped out after I got it home and drove maybe 100 yards so there it sat. Finally have some time and a...
When we lived in Idaho, bonded title wasn't too terrible. Some registered mail to the last titled owner, bonded title for I think it was 3 years...
Truck sat for at least 4 years since it ran last. Trans was pretty much empty, took almost 4 quarts to bring it back up. Initially after filling I...
Man I'd really like to give rebuilding it a shot but I'm on the road 2 or 3 days a week, still working on finishing my shop, we're in the middle...
Oh now the fun begins, figuring out how much incorrect information I got from the PO. Engine casting is C6AE-6015-D so looking like a 66 block....
I get most of that except for 'starter at the top'. Maybe I'm not following but my starter is located on the lower passenger side of the bell housing.
That's something I didn't know but glad you passed that along. There was actually another flexplate in the truck but just looked and it's got a...
Picked up a 1949 Ford F1 with a 1968 6 cylinder and C4 out of a pickup. Engine runs fine but the trans is shot, only has reverse. Also has a...
Managed to get the casting number off the block and heads this past weekend. Haven't got to the date yet but the 283 block and heads are in the...
Rolled it out of the shop for a bit, need to pull and engine and trans out of a donor truck and get my 65 wagon project underway. Hope selling the...
Ha! My daily drivers have been manual trans for many, many years, current is a 2005 Cadillac CTS-V. For the weekend cruiser driving one foot, one...
Got the car back up in the air today, trans in the car is 28" so too long for the stock ironglide driveshaft. Not sure what's involved in swapping...
I turn on my opinion filter whenever I ask a question on a forum... (useful information noted)... blah blah blah... (useful information)...
You are correct on the reinforcing ring on the original flexplate, saw that looking at the old one. I'm going to have to pull the trans anyway so...
Just picked up a 1960 Belair 2 door this week. Have been looking for '59 or '60 Chevy for a while now. The original cast iron PG crapped out so...
The straight line didn't make a lot of sense to me but that's what they're promoting......
Thanks for the info. Looks like 5x5.
Hi, just bought a 1957 Mercury Montclair 2 door today. Has a bad tire so trying to figure out the bolt pattern so I can bring a spare with me....
Have 2 short blocks sitting in the garage and one will go in my car until a suitable replacement can be built. They're both 305's but let's not...
I'm updating my old Pontiac to power steering and am trying to find a catalog with pitman and idler arm dimensions to replace the stock pieces....
