Nice work on the jig set up. That kept it all in line. Glad to see it worked out!!! Just a lil touch of weld and you are back in bidness......

The split intake manifold(673P) was the "hotter" set up compared to the single log manifold. If you don't have more then 30K lbs behind you, it will run with traffic easily enough. Just don't go to PA and think you can run the hills real fast LOL!!

Or years in a lifetime...............

Now I'm on a mission. Everyone look at their glovebox latch and see what the sheetmetal looks like. Is it damaged like in the pics shown above?

Wish I had some dumb kinda reason to own it(well and a place to keep it that the neighbors wouldn't bitch).

Yup, first look at that and KNEW it was a clariben hood. LOL!! Man, sure does nothing for the looks of a truck. Geez-o-pete.

Ya, didn't think the holes were that big that they needed a dump truck to haul the dirt to fill them???? Love the old flappers. But, ya, the ta-ting, ta-ting sure can get annoying.

^^surprised they didn't have an "L" and "R" for which way to turn????? My favorite saying........."No, your OTHER left"

I just went to their website. Ok, someone explain this to me?? http://amerex-fire.com/products/camo-units/ "CAMO" fire extinguishers?? Really? You want something like this in "camo"? Geezus what is the world coming to? I can see it now........ Yardo: "Sir why didn't you use a fire extinguisher?" Home owner: "well, I know I had them, but couldn't fit it" Yardo: "You couldn't find it? Why not?" Homeowner: "Well sir, I got the "camo" version because I'm a redneck and thought it was cool, but I guess since it blended in with everything I couldn't find it when I really needed it". Yardo: shakes head This is as bad as the camo tools I've seen, camo flashlights, etc. WTF? I guess if you don't work OUTSIDE then a dark green ddrill might be easy to find. But come the day you are working in the yard and need to find it after you lay it down in the freak'n grass!!! SMH. Sorry, rant over.............

Hmm, I just saw this post. I have a few of these around, guess I need to check the numbers. Luckily we have UPS and FedEx at work so I don't have to check my front yard for wet/snowy boxes......

Strange how yours has the same damage around the latch opening that Ed and mine has with the big latch. Hmmmm. Is it a manufacturing flaw for all B dashes?

Ugh, I was just playing with my glovebox last weekend. For some reason it was outta whack so bad that every time I hit a bump it fell open. Seems the latch tab at the top that the paw holds was bent out(curved) that it would not hold. I removed that tab, straightened it and now it works perfect. I had loosened the hinge screws to see if for some reason the lid had dropped down and the reason it would not stay latched. Ed, I see your latch hole is tweak just like mine. The latch just move up/down and dent the metal.

I hate rattles, but been living with them for 15 yrs with my truck. My drivers door closes too tight to rattle. The passenger door just clicks closed with no effort, so it has a rattle on rough roads. I think it is something in the seal groove that is sticking out and touching the door as it moves. My rubber seals are long gone, and need replaced. I would hope new rubber would tighten things up.

Wow...talk about NO berm? Bet the guy that decided to "pull over" found out real quick how bad of an idea it was.

Had to google the cast. It was Fran Ryan. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0752539/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t17 Saw she was in Pale Rider. She was the wife of the store owner. That is where I remember her the most from. That opening scene were Clint wipes out a bunch of bad guys.

For the life of me I can't say that actresses name.

That's the facts Jack! The Aunt Jemina treatment....

I was watching this video recently.

Ah, I see the notch now. I'm guessing getting the ball to pop up in the detent hole is going to be tough with that big flat spot on the shaft(no taper to help push it). The ball is too big to stay in the flat to get past the detent hole in the top. Hate to say it, but you might have to drill through the top of the casting to let the ball/spring fall out and then drill/tap/plug or weld it shut?

Ya, occasionally we all have a bad day, but stupid people have them EVERYDAY.

Way back after college, hanging out at buddies garage, we all used the backyard fence. His mother had some sunflowers growing there. She would complain that we were killing them(one was always short). We told her that we didn't use that one, but the really tall one was the one we watered!!! My garage has no bathroom, but I do go outside if needed. Nothing worse then having to go all the way to the house and get the grubby shoes off to use the bathroom.

Unfortunately the stupid reproduce faster then Darwin can eliminate them.........................

Nice work so far. Very first thing I noticed was the LACK of safety stands while working on those brakes. Just don't want the "safety police" to jump all over your video. If you read many of the comments on peoples videos, it can get brutal!! I don't know the legal ramifications if someone follows your advice and gets hurt and comes back at you? Something to definitely think about. I know there are lots of crazy SOB's on Youtube so just remember you are dealing with the general public and they usually don't have a clue.

Few weeks ago I was backing into a parking spot. Small car behind me and I could not see it around the bed of my pickup. I was cautiously backing up when my buddy asked "want me to go out and look?". I told him "sure". If not I was going to get out and look. Would a back up camera be handy? Ya, I would agree. Unfortunately today everyone just assumes they need a camera to see anything. MIrrors? What's that? Park assist? Come on. Now they have trailer towing assist. The dumbing down of drivers. I take it like calculators were back in high school. AFTER you learned to do the math yourself, you could use a calculator. NOT BEFORE!!! Now everyone HAS TO HAVE all these upgrades to do the simplest task of driving. I get a kick out of "blind spot avoidance" lights blinking in your mirror. I know go out of my way to move my vehicle around in the lane behind the car in front just to make that little yellow light flash. I call it a spot mirror. I use it to see what is in my blind spot. If not.........TURN YOUR HEAD and look!!!!!

Ya, when my friend Bill called and said Dave passed away..........I was like Dave who? It just threw me for a loop. His health as surely not great, but I tell you, he never sat around. He joked when I wanted to take a break from running the truck that "what the guy with cancer is out working the young guy?" I told him if I had gloves like him, maybe my hands would not be so sore from working that steering wheel so hard. I'm getting soft with my air steering! That armstrong stuff is for the birds! Especially with 55K lbs of dirt on your back.
