Damn, my friend. Sorry to hear-I know what it's like. But more than becoming part of the family, they really become part of who we are. Easier said than done, but hang in there, remember the good times (not to mention all of his silly little quirks), and be thankful for 16 great years!

Sweet bird! What kind of wheels are those? They look killer!

MSC or Grainger- listed as Jet Powr-pulls...

Have you checked the voltage limiter on the back of the dash?

Charts are only a good starting point- the only way to know for sure is to read the dipstick. And if the trans is low on fluid, it will be sluggish to engage any gear.

IIRC, it's threaded on (RH threads). Shop rag around button, channel locks over that (just don't go gorilla on it...lol)

Don't forget to check the coupler between the steering column and box...

IIRC, there's a pigtail with an eyelet that goes under one of the nuts holding the tail light to the body on the left side; OR the same wire/connector fastened with a sheetmetal screw around the center of the trunk (seen both ways...)

NAPA used to sell the fitting(3/8 NPT X 5/8" hose) IIRC it was used on early-mid 70's 3/4 ton turcks with small blocks. But you'd probably have to find an "old guy" at the coounter to find one.

The 2 ears are used during manufacturing to locate the trans case during machining.

No better way to see a thread go off the deep end than to ask "What's the best way to..."

Contact Jeff at Checkered Racing in Bedford, In. He sells a weld-on kit that uses GM calipers and comes with 5x4.5 rotors. He sells to a lot of dirt racers.

Anyone interested at $1500.00? Time is running short...

Just a thought- might be a good idea to heli-coil the trans mount threads in the tailhousing, just in case they pulled out when the bell broke. At any rate they would be stronger. Might be cheap insurance after all you've been through- at least check them out closely.

Listing this for a friend (he wants to use the back half for a trailer) Car has had an interior fire- original running gear complete (flathead 6 3 speed) As far as I know hood is only thing missing. Hope someone wants to save this old girl. He says to offer more than it's worth as a trailer-...

X2 on the heli-coil, and while the head is off, do all of the exhaust bolts.Save some headaches down the road.

Sweet score- enjoy!

TIG is a little fussier than other types of welding- the base metals HAVE to be clean for a good weld. I think the poster above was referring to 2% thoriated tungsten, it is a good general purpose electrode. TIG welds tend to be "softer" than MIG (easier to hammer/dolly on bodywork) Biggest...
