Welcome vlund. I ran into a group of guys from Finland at the NHRA Finals in Pomona. They said they had just came from the SEMA show in Vegas...
WW2 Military Dodge 4X4 ambulances used wrapped springs also.
You don't need no stinking front bumper. Nice work putting it back into shape.

Nice, nice, nice find. Is there any history on why it was parked so long? I love to hear the stories.
Take the battery back to the store and see if they will replace or pro-rate it under warranty.
Yep, or a plugged line. Still a plumbing prob. This is a new to you truck? Is there a shut off on any of the oil lines?
I always divide the reading by 2. There is some tuning choices here in your case. Just depends if you need to enrich the engine earlier or later....

I installed 2 reman alts from Oreilly and they both had so much vibration that they would break the mounting bolts within 15 miles of driving....

That's exactly what I'm doing(TKO 600). So did you have to cut the trans tunnel or just a little hammer massaging?
Thanks, I've leaning toward the Centerforce II. Which one are you guys using?
About to install a clutch / pressure plate in my 56 Chevy 2 door Sedan. 327 with a solid lifter cam and 4.11 rear gear. I drive it a lot so, light...
Doesn't your 'A' arm front suspension have replaceable bushings and ball joints, not kingpins?
