  1. You know back in the day 6 bangers in a family car was quite common my first car was a 64 valiant with slant six 3 on the tree paid 20 bucks engine smoking back in those days. I didn’t know what I was doing. I tried to do a somewhat half ass rebuild wound up putting a rod through the block.
  2. Well didn’t do anything today but watch TV be running out of decent weather soon like to atleast get the left corner well on its way hen start on transmission swap or rear axle seals
  3. I’ve never seen that truck…. Gorgeous good luck I’m sure someone knows of it
  4. 396. Yes, I was also wondering what year those came out you just cleared that up.
  5. Both excellent choices. I also had a 65 impala convertible. I only bought it for the engine that I put in that 55 Belair. it was kind of a shame to scrap the rest of it because the body was in really good condition., chrome, grille but in 1975 it really wasn’t worth anything at all. I only paid 135 bucks for the whole car.
  6. Not sure if I mentioned truck needs a lot of work, but it’s mostly just swapping out parts I wanted to start the restoration off by redoing the interior…. cab and doors are in pretty good shape, but I decided to start with a nose because it was the worst part. Everything else will be a lot easier.. bob

  10. Excellent thanks for that
  11. Yes sir, that’s just the way it was I couldn’t find much on a Cummings weight, but I am assuming they’re similar. Also make sure you use something light in the sandblaster as we discussed. Otherwise, you get clean steel full of craters I think but nutshells would probably be your best bet. Good luck.
  12. According to Google and ENDT 673 is 2240
  13. I don’t think it’s gonna take that long but I guess it depends on what size unit you are using. I would’ve guessed 2 to 3 at the most.

  17. Tom, I think you’re talking about a Ventura I just saw one in a movie with Dolly Parton
  18. Well Tom, this is what I used to wear with my Fedex uniform truck driving shoes. My wife used to tell me you’re the only one in the world that still wears those old people shoes.
  19. And Tom, I’ve only been retired a couple of weeks. I’m already getting lazy.
  20. I had that happen to me one time on a customers car while we were trying to get it started. I was leaning over it as well. Most of the shit went on my shirt. I was lucky.
  21. I was afraid to ask about that myself also did not get the part about the truck and trailer
