How slow is your daily driver?
Fast compared to a Yugo, lol. Really a ridiculous comparison. The 305 Camaros ran good and I don't think they fell apart any worse than other cars from the era. My friends had several of them back in the day. I thought they were good cars and pretty fast for a stock 305 Camaro. Of course my 66...- 1977shortbed

No way an 82 Camaro with a 305 is that slow unless there was something seriously wrong with the engine. They actually were pretty fast cars and would blow away a Yugo.- 1977shortbed

Looking into a new compact car.
I like your user name. I'm actually building a 75 Monza 2+2. I bought the car a few years ago but still need to install the engine and trans. I have a 350 for the car and have the original Saginaw 4-speed.- 1977shortbed

Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?
I prefer tools made in the USA and I prefer to drive Chevy trucks, :boti:. Thanks guys for recommending the pry bars. Guess I will get one to have on hand but have my doubts about it working with these aftermarket 16x8 wheels. The hubcap is more sunk into these wheels so you can't get a good...- 1977shortbed

Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?
I watched ebay for several weeks and bid on several auctions but didn't win. Eventually a set was listed for $99.00 buy it now so I snagged them. That's more than I wanted to pay but they are in great condition. I removed a couple minor dings with a hammer and polished them with mag wheel...- 1977shortbed

Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?
Maybe but there is very little space to insert a pry bar. I will figure something out. You might check ebay for hubcaps. That's where I bought mine.- 1977shortbed

Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?
I finally had my new tires mounted and balanced. Guess I was trying to wait until I got the truck running but couldn't wait any longer. I had to see them on the truck. As I previously mentioned they are Wheel Vintiques 16x8 with Goodyear Wrangler AT 265 75 16. I painted the wheels white and...- 1977shortbed

Certified car nut
Sounds like you built a great car and now you built an awesome 4x4 truck. Does your exhaust exit thru the original fuel door openings in the bed? A couple days ago I finished installing single piston disc brakes on the front of my yellow Chevelle. Got them at the salvage yard off a 71...- 1977shortbed
