LOL, that happened to me to on my HD several years ago. Left a welt where it hit to because I had my shirt open and was driving pretty fast. Didn't sting me "down there" though - got me on my stomach
same runaround. They didn't like my blue dots. I had a lugstud missing. My gas cap was missing (kids!). They didn't like the absence of a metal vin tag. (they never got in to check the non existent e
drop out corporates 55-64. I am putting it in my 58 chevy napco suburban. Apparently, they are pretty rare and very expensive - I don't even want to tell you what I paid for mine (maybe I'll whisper
my lower fender tips (dog legs) on my 58 suburban need to be replaced. The chevy duty & jim carters companies do not have 58/59 fender patch panels - they only have 55-57. I realize that the TF truc
Andy - I'd go with the 350 too (preferably a 4 bolt ;). They are much more versatile and better made. Even if the 305 were a great motor - I'd still run a 350 for a sb. I had always dreamed of droppi
I just put 235s on 15.8" wagon wheels (Goodrich Wrangler AT Baja Champions) which are just at 30" and they look great. I would have gone with a larger tire but I wasn't sure it would fit with the sto

Hi Jim: no - one can never be too anal with brakes. There is definitely a certain way the whole unit assembles. I could explain it to you (as I can do brakes with my eyes closed) but the manual actua
This truck has been for sale for at least 2 months - maybe more. The guy wants $4500, said it ran when parked and has the original fiberglass bed. It sounds pretty nice. If interested, let me know an
Hi gang: I have a 1955 Lincoln metal hose reel enclosure with 3 spring reels for sale. It's a large beige/white sheetmetal box with beautiful chrome trim (like a 55 Belair!). It has 2 large heavy dut
Hi gang: can anyone tell me what the largest tire I can use on a stock 51 Chev 3100 would be?? Not for the stock rims - I am wondering what the largest tire that would fit in the front wheelwell woul
Good discussion. Sounds like media is the way to go. I also have heard of the bead blasting changing the metal. Also, if you were going to see stress cracks - they would probably turn up after the pa
I myself love cowl vents. I have a 51 so I also have the vent windows. But, when I open that cowl vent, the air rushes in. I live in S. TX so I disconnected my heater because even when the heater was
Good idea about directing flow during those warmer months. But, really, here in Houston - I don't miss my heater at all. All the warm air coming through the firewall grommets from the engine is good
Right on - you can depend on the old beasts with your life if you just give them a little TLC. My 51 can sit in the driveway idle for months and on the coldest day, I just pull out the old choke, hit
