A lot of these trucks had what was called Utility Bumpers, which was a formed channel with a trailer ball mount plate in the center. At each end...
My bet is varnish on the guides and stems. Also huge fan of Stabil and Marvel. We go through a lot of air tools because I absolutely forbid oiling...
Have you noticed that if you can't receive items by UPS or FedX the cost has gone through the roof? A frame from Ohio to Texas is eleven hundred...
Dang, now you got my wife mad at you; every time she wants something done I'm in front of a mirror looking at my tongue. The 37 has hidden hinges,...
We have had good luck "V"ing a groove in the top or bottom flange and welding with a shielding gas like a TIG (argon) or 75/25 MIG (argon/CO2)...
Sometimes it takes a dummy (I'm eminently qualified) to give an explanation that another dummy can follow. If your computer is like mine sometimes...
I have taped Sunday through Wednesday. The next one scheduled for this area is next Sunday. Just watched the Saipan segment again this evening....
I'd bet that everyone that was mechanically inclined in the 60's and 70's had a VW experience. Mine was with a Carmin Ghia that had a Corvair...
You just need one bulb in the tail light, an 1157 if 12 volt. As Nate said, use a 6 wire t/s switch (many have 7 wires if with a 4 way flasher)...
When you have 10% of anything it WILL run worse if everything isn't set up for this fuel. Be it methanol, benzene, toluene, nitromethane,...
If it has an open driveshaft it IS a 55, the first series. The 55 second series was the square 55-59 style. If you warm up a V8 and like a...
If it is a torque tube type and you want to drive to the Dallas area I have several left over from conversion jobs. Help yourself to one, gratis,...
Zig is right, I don't think GM ever designated such a thing as an early 54. Some 53's may have been sold late and titled as 54's. They had a "high...
It is MUCH easier to put the weather stripping on with the door off. Here is a tip: read the directions on the tube of 3M weather strip glue. It...
Perfect for an AD. Remember the TV ad with the pretty girl leaning on an AD while they're singing the "Like a Rock" jingle.
Nate, here's my $.02 on this. All through the 70's and 80's both GM and Ford had a physically bigger alternator that was a 105 amp IIRC for cars...
Lots of info available on the S10 swap. We have done several chevys but no GMC yet. As I understand it the core support is different on a jimmy...
Poor Nate, his sewer truck trial and tribulation is getting a competing entry. A customer brought back his 66 Mustang that we spent a week block...
I agree with Nate 200%. Our two shop trucks, with 400k+ and 230k+, have always had the lightest weight oil that we could get. 5-20 or 10-30...
We usually make our own frame mount stands but last winter used a tubular universal setup in a 56 GMC that the owner had us put a 302 Ford engine...
