Got a van
best I saw was a 106s I found a BFG T/A that had a 107s in the 235 size. If its lt, it wouldn't be 215/75R15 it would be 215/75LT15 LTs don't have R in the designation.- 78 Chevyrado

Got a van
I'm looking into it, right now it has the 3 leaf springs. I don't mind the stiffer ride because I'm used to my old truck. the stiffer springs would help stability with good shocks. I wouldn't mind it having a tad of a rake with my tools in it, so it can sit level with most loads I put on...- 78 Chevyrado

Roofing, flooring (tile wood carpet) gets contracted out... otherwise I do it all... I demo a house and frame and trim, and all the odd bits that don't fall under roofing or flooring... if I bring my mower to the house I get like $150 to mow and trim a yard and get it to sellable condition...- 78 Chevyrado

May be Gaudy but...
the thing only comes in nickel or gold plating... I got the bright nickel... will nickel be ok out in the weather? or should I send it off to be chromed before I install it? Tarnish is bad, relatively effort free shininess is golden....- 78 Chevyrado

I did this mod back in around September of 2007. after almost 5.5 years and around 40k miles... it still looks like new like it did in 2007. sometimes, when I drive it daily in the rain, for like a week, it'll get white spots...- 78 Chevyrado

Rock Auto Rocks!!
Digging up an old thread, but the title says it all. I used Rockauto for most of the rebuild parts when I redid my truck. My entire front suspension, all engine accessories, and entire A/C system came from them. I had a problem with them once, that they had sent me the wrong front...- 78 Chevyrado
