Still too much work to stop and document much, but here is a recap on the last couple weekends: pulled the remainder of the wire harness out of the Silverado-THAT was a chore! Tore apart the steering column to get all that wiring too (more on...
There is a steelie wheel thread where guys are sharing tons of info on steel wheels and where they got them. Summit Racing has a great selection. I'll try to dig up the thread. It is in the 40's section. Nolan started it.
Yikes! We got back to the house and immediately took showers and changed clothes since we both reeked of burned oil. Still, I'm glad we went. Chances to do stuff like that with my dad get fewer every year. My daughter is getting more and more...
Looks like the Club calendar has Whitetail Reservoir scheduled for Sept 27. I should've looked there first. But we can still do a Relic Run sometime in October.
I was too busy gawking at all the pretty Cruisers... man the old 40's represented at this show. I didn't take many pics. @OverLand Cruisers had quite the spread.
Many have asked if I will make a rear bumper that matches the design and high clearance of my 80 series Cruisin bumper. Started the bumper this morning and hope to have a finished product soon.
Rear crossmember does not need to be removed, but...
This ^^^^ is what mine looks like.
Here is the strap under the passenger seat, I assume it strapped down the tool kit? Looks factory. And has metal tabs to maybe “cradle” the tool kit?
My son and I scrubbed and scrubbed today. Just trying to get the Pig stye smell and grime out. We pulled the mats today, hit everything with a bucket/sponge bath of warm water and dawn dish soap and a good vacuuming. The front floor boards are...
You might want to keep that a theoretical lesson as opposed to a practical lesson. One backfire and that's a broken arm. Not trying to be Debbie Downer but that's a serious concern. On the practical side though, it's a great tool to use when...
Down side of the Hone OD it's only on the rear driveshaft and can only be used in 2WD. I do not know anything about the Home except what it looks like from the outside. While the Fairey changes the input to the transfer case and and be used in...
So it’s a Hone over drive. @Living in the Past for the win! Found some good info on the Hone Overdrives in the 40 section. It’s down the list to get working. Seems like a great thing to revive if possible. Could be easier than a 4 speed swap...
We used to boil rubber seals in a pot of water to bring them back to life.
I'm not sure what the matt is made of - could try heating a bit up with a hair dryer?
