I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANY 4 OR 5 SPEED REQUIRES A CROSS MEMBER AT ALL. tHE ORIGINAL GRANNY DIDN'T USE ONE,AND MY RICHMOND 5-SPEED HANGS THERE ALSO. i BELIEVE A MUNCIE IS SHORTER THAN A RICHMOND-SO A SUPPORT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE USED.

parking brake The parking brake did not hook up ok. My talented brother remanufactured the ends of my original brake cables so they would match. He is very experienced,and he said that somebody could make them up at a cable shop. His work pretty good though.

I know that they are hard to buy-I got an nos set for my truck about 20 years ago. I have never seen another set for sale,except for used. The angled rubber gasket plates to go under them are probably even hard to find.Lee

fittings I went plumbing shopping and I managed to get brass fittings to make an elbow to relocate the sender away form the distributer and high enough to clear the manifold.The finished product looks good. I did this after I called the manufacturer of the part used. Thanks for the help

I would like to hang a pod underdash in between the vent knobs on my 1959 chevy apache. It would be a nice place to put in some billet a/c vents and a couple of gauges.Any ideas of any sources for parts already made? thanks-lee

I had the same rear in my truck which grenaded one day. I was unable to find many parts available for this after hundreds of phone calls(I spent almost a month looking).What I ended up doing is taking a posi rear from a 1969 chevy truck which is almost exactly the same dimensions and changing...

I thought of that as a possibility. I haven't done anything but look at the connection so far-haven't measured yet-but by eyeball-it looks like my hei distributor is pretty close. Thanks for the suggestion-lee

I need to install aftermarket oil pressure sender on 1970 vintage small block. The new sender is large in diameter and will not fit in the stock location near the distributor-any ideas? thanks

I have heard that the one to use is a gm 10.5-which is for some heavy duty application

I have seen used and nos ones for sale one e-bay many times-maybe check there. I never understood why anybody today wouldn't put in a stereo or something instead? When the trucks were new-they were manufactured as industrial grade beaters,and nobody really cared for creature comforts-but today...

if your axle is worn badly-you might also try another one. A lot of people toss these in favor of independent suspensions,and might even be free! I'm not an expert mechanic-but when I rebuilt my front, I probably should have gotten oversize king pins and had the holes reamed,but my front is...

I have a 383 stroker that has the stock sender and gauge,and works properly together. The choice of thermostat greatly influences what your running temp will be.

57 is an entity of it's own-55 and 56 aren't the same and neither are 58-59

it's got to be a car ornament that somebody liked

I have seen many pieces of this trim set for sale on e-bay,but not generally for cheap! I have seen show restored sets for sale for as much as 2500.

I have noticed in the newspaper in TUCSON(if this any indication of any trend),that streetrodded trucks if done nicely bring at least as much as restored originals. I some some listed in hemmings for about 25 and 30 grand that look pretty good. If I didn't like my fleetside so much, I'd probably...

I'm sure that I have seen that exact trim on more gmc trucks in the past than chevys. I have the same trim for my longbed fleetside-and as far as I know-the gmc's were considered fancier trucks and people were more likely to spring the extra 100 bucks for the trim.(farmbeaters didn't even need...

I have never purchased lots of repro metal as this stuff is (or was) rather plentiful in arizona with no rust.It is hard to believe that any of the repop stuff is worth much,as the Chinese don't care much about driving old chevys. I'd stick to oem anyday!

I do know that the rear diff on a 1969 from drum to drum is basically as the 1959. I guess if you measure drum to drum on the front that it would give you an idea?

have you considered the possibility that you have the wrong dipstick?
