yea its a cat key ignition switch

yea i have one rs700l emblem in good shape just needs to be shined up also rob i have one rl700l emblem if you want it for some reason all my trucks lose the emblem on the passenger side but i have one of each so let me now also this is a parts truck if you need anything else let me no there is no motor or trans or rear ends

well i got some of the parts in for the gauge panel

yes the weight is a factor the motor alone is 1400 lbs and the trans would be around 600 or 700 but it would be cool its not going to pull or haul anything just be a work truck i no it will fit with some mods on youtube they put a 6v53 in a power wagon

thanks for your help might just get the adapters then

i want to put a detroit 6v53 and a 10spd eaton trans in my 71 chevy 3/4 ton and use a light duty truck axle out back with the 10 bolt wheel pattern or the 10 bolt adapters for the 8 bolt axle and use 22.5 rims and tires would be a nice combo now anyone no what trucks had a light duty axle with the 10 bolt wheel bolt pattern i rather go with that so i can use the same u joint instead of an adapter drive shaft

you guys hear abought that coal ash spill in tenn kingston power plant thats crazy i work at the aps power plant here in the four corners we haul all the ash out of the plant we use the bottom ash for roads and dams and dykes we also haul the fly ash that i hate its nasty real fine finer the flower gets into motors, seals everything we distroy trucks in the flyash and equipment to just throwin money down the drain and when its windy it will sand blast you to shreds and give you breathing problems for life thats flyash that flooded tenn nasty it wont hurt you if you touch it but it does have mercury iron and sulfuric acid in it so dont eat it as i have you cant help it when the wind blows all the dams and dykes we have got motion detectors buried 30 feet into the dykes if it even shakes a little there out there inspecting it we drive on them all the time with trucks and never tripped a sensor so we must be doing something right as we built all those dykes except for the lake dam witch is over 50 feet deep its real crazy when you see it and drive down to the bottom all you can think of is if the dyke gave way what will you do but the plant is over 50 years old and no problems so we will see

sorry rob i have rs700l emblems on my truck which is trashed now because a driver backed into it on christmas and distroyed the hood and it was a new hood because 3 months ago another driver backed into it and thrashed the hood and radiator this truck just loves distroying hoods

at 8?

this is why i always put a battery disconnect on the trucks i got that and some of them always ran the battery down

i have alot of respect for batteries now because when i was 14 i was charging a battery for a truck and when i took the cable clamp off the battery it sparked and blew up in my face i am def in my right ear now from that when i charge a battery now i turn off the charger when i connect it or disconnect it a couple of weeks ago one of my employees was charging a battery and he had the charger on and when he took it off it blew up but he was out of the way so no damage just a bunch of acid on his coveralls there all eatn up now that acid is nasty stuff
