    CT - 1987 RCLB V10, in pieces

    Well guys, I am giving up on my truck. It was never what I wanted to build i the first place and the thought of sinking near $20K into something that won't be what I, no matter what, is enough for me to give up on this project all together. The truck is located in Oakville, CT 06779. Asking...

    Steel Cowl Hood Source

    I just saw that AVS sells steel Square Body cowl hoods for $200. Every othe3r place I've seen selling these hoods wants at least $600. I'm not sure if they'll rape on shipping fees, but, it's hard to knock a $200 steel hood! http://www.avsontheweb.com/home.php?cat=171

    Auto Locking Hubs?

    Is it possible to convert the front axle on my Square Body to auto locking hubs? I realize everything in my driveline is mechanical as opposed to electrical, but, it would be great if I could just grab the stick on the floor when I want the extra help from the front wheels. Manual hubs is...

    Looking for special jack stands

    In my high school shop, we had jack stands that you could bolt on to the axles in place of the wheels. The height was adjustable with a screw like adjustment. They would make working on my truck SOOO much easier since I wouldn't have to keep the stands actually UNDER the truck. Anybody know...
