    Keystone Klassic wheel question

    Ya know I always thought the sameway . I wanted to at 1 point in time make a set of " D- Ralleys " wider so I gathered up a set of Cragers. What I found was steel encased with aluminium that was welded to the rims. So I think you'll be fine with nothing to worry about.

    440 crank in a 383

    So,,,,,,, I punched my 383 out as about far as I care to. I got a 440 crank that's had the main journals turned to 383 specs.

    Recommended sale price 383 & Trans

    Title pretty much sums it up. I got a 66/67 383 complete , never torn down. Trans is still bolted to it, the way I bought it. Had a gent contact me about selling it. What's a rebuilder & trans worth? Btw, 2bbl carb, non HP engine.

    Center body rear brake rubber hose/line

    Okay after replying from an ignorant state of mind I decided to go look at my 69' C-body 8 3/4 and I see exactly what you mean and exactly what your talking about.
