Well I guess Paul beat me to it, but I just sold my '48. I want to thank everyone on this site that helped me turn my basket case into a run about town romp. I learned plenty and feel like I'm moving town and leaving a bunch of friends. God bless ya'll and thanks for the ride, Larry

The old farm store down the road from me has had this truck under cover for the past 30 years I've been here. I looked at it seriously 6 or 7 years ago and it looked totally unmolested and with a great stake bed. The last tabs are 1991, so it hasn't likely been run since then, but the tires...

Here's a cool ride I saw launching at "the lake" yesterday. '47 on an '82 chassis.

Has anyone installed these on their truck? The OEM are 2 wire while there are 3 wires on the LED assembly. What did you do with the ground wire? :confused:

I recently noticed that the front leaf springs on my 1/2T are almost flat. Any idea if it might be cheaper to have them re-arched than to buy replacements from our host? :confused: Does anyone know if the re-pops are cheap Chinese crap? :eek:

Have any of you guys bought the LED bed hole lights (part #16-141) that our host sells? I'm wondering if the red lights connected to the rear tail light harness really are a visual safety item or whether they are just some custom eye candy. Also curious about connecting the LED circuit to the...

Here's a word of caution: Matinius warned me a day too late about this problem. The power brake booster sold by our host is actually drop shipped from CPP. It will not "bolt on with no cutting or welding", because it requires removing the stock transmission support cross member. Maybe a...

Seems to me I've heard or read about an adapter that raises the fan higher on the 235 (with short shaft water pump) to get better cooling through the radiator. Do any of you have information to share about this?

I have a rebuilt speedo guage cluster, a new steel speedo cable, a Patrick's 3.55 :1 rear end with the speedo adapter at the standard 3 on the tree transmission, but I read 45 mph when I'm travelling with the flow of hwy traffic at 60 mph. Anyone have any thoughts on how to get a more accurate...

I'm onboard about not turning my original drums. Is there anything I can or should do to the surfaces to improve the friction with the new brake pads? I have removed the rusty spots with steel wool and cleaned them with brake cleaning fluid. They look polished and shiny. Thanks,

OK guys - For some reason this reminds me of a nurse with white stockings. What do you think of the detail (not) of this offering...

I found this interesting build on the internet today: http://fallenherosdreamride.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=9

I'm looking for a lower grill to radiator splash pan for my '48 truck.

My '03 Silverado just lost the first 3 fan speeds on the heater-defrost. I understand that it might be a resistor gone bad. Anyone know the location of this resistor? I dropped the glovebox door, but didn't find anything like I was looking for iunder the dash there.

My steering box was leaking onto my exhaust pipe and smoking. So I hunted up the cover gasket I had ordered a few months ago and decided to dive in and replace it to stop the leak. After taking out the 3 bolts, the cover would rotate but not come off. So I got out my trusty Shop Manual and...

Anyone know a source or part number for the side cover gasket on a 3 speed? The local Napa warehouse doesn't have 3 speed manual transmission catalogs anymore. :eek:

Can anyone help identify this tranny for me? The DPO had it in the bed of the pickup along with a Camero rear end...I'm also curious about the yellow paint marks on the gears...thanks.
