  1. Do you have any idea how many shifters have been heated and bent after transmission swaps . It's a fairly common remedy in an older truck . Terry has the right idea. Just have to remember the bit about the rough roads and chances are in some certain spots it may even come in contact with the hole in your floor. (so one or two tweek jobs may be required) Before any part in the shifter wears , the truck'll have some other problem that puts it down for the count.
  2. When I was a kid watching that show ? I thought that was a cool truck, now ? I still do, but appreciate it in a whole different way. Clone or real thing, that's a beautiful W900.
  3. I know they would have been in the HP would have been over 300 but they were pretty impressive in the torque area . Those cars had to weigh over 4000 pounds too. Cool stuff. and yes..... law enforcement used to look like Matt Dillon
  4. Solid lifter 390s ? 2 door Galaxies ? That's quite a rocket , love to have one of those now (like when it was new)
  5. Wasn't there and adaptor on the CLs that located the lever further rearward ? Maybe one of those set ups ?
  6. Thank God.
  7. They'll never get my baby
  8. That does sound pretty good. I'd be die'n to take it for a ride if I were you. I remember that sound from when I was a kid.
  9. Used to be a guy named Doug Fetterly had an add in Wheels Of Time. Thought I remembered something about stainless bumpers.
  10. Somebody had my Corvette there ???? Thanks for posting.
  11. I don't know if I'm more impressed by the job you're doing on the truck.....or your degree of self control. I'd never have stopped at 100 yards.
  12. That looks like that nosey person investigating the mailbox incident blocking the view of that Oldsmobile (?) What a pest
  13. Yes it is. Covers how to do it .
  14. Someone had a video of an Auzzie man installing a Dayton type rim on a trailer a while back. (he may have been changing a flat) It was a very detailed simple example of removing and replacing a Dayton (and correct). It was on a trailer if I remember correctly, but the steps he went through apply to anything. The deflating the tire part ??? a tube type with a split rim isn't something a guy with no experience should be playing with when it comes to changing the tire on the rim. As far as the mounted tire on a vehicle , that part is the same as a tubeless. !!!! but.... if changing from tube type split rims to tubeless ??? there's a fairly good chance your hardware may change ( wedges, spacer ) and that's not to say the hardware on the truck already might be shot. In which case no torque or tightening will ever hold them on fast.
  15. Be interesting to hear someone's thoughts on that subject. (FYI I have more respect for you than to put you on the spot like that) It's unbelievable how disconnected from reality our leadership (lol) really is.
  16. Could be on the door of the fuse panel too.
  17. Hall Scott, don't see those very often.
  18. Need more information . Some pictures ? Never know, it might still be somewhere.....and there's even a chance someone has it and not willing to part with it .
  19. I was talking about this with an older friend of mine (@67) he said he was told about it in grade school. I don't remember ever hearing any of it (I'm 56) now ? I have no idea what's taught in schools. But as far as I can see you're much more likely to see something media sensationalizes as scandalous than any of this history.
  20. Joey, you should move up here. You can see where the Mack Brothers came from and all. And i know one guy that'll give ya work (wink wink)
  21. I wasn't even born when JFK was around. I can remember seeing the Nixon saga on TV, but at that time I was aggravated it was cut'n into cartoons.
  22. This is some really interesting stuff. Sad thing is it's way easier to find info about his affairs or what ever other retarded stuff the media puts out there. I never knew 90 percent of what I've read in this thread.
  23. How about on the old 2 valve engines when the block would get busted up down around the main webs ? Yes. after the stroke job (E7/E Tech) there wasn't much problems in the crankshaft area on the Macks.
