Centerline *Style* Wherls 15x8-1/2 and 5 X 5 bolt pattern
I picked these four wheels up in a package last year. I don't have a vehicle with this bolt pattern on them and want them to go away. Tires are doo doo and should be changed out. The wheels I believe are American Racing and are 15" x 8.5" wide. One wheel has a boogerie hole where it looks like... -
HELP WITH WHEEL AND TIRE SET UP
I wanted to lower my 3/4 ton, but my wife asked if I would rather put that money into another vehicles rebuild. My truck looks just fine at stock ride height for me now. :happy107: :happy107: :happy107: :happy107: :happy107:- Catbox

Thoughts on going down to 37s?
My buddies truck runs around on a set of BFG 37's and it still retains the mini monster truck feel. He is 6'2" and you can just see his head over the hood. Here it is next to my stock height 3/4 ton making it look like a mini truck. If I were you, I would get away from the defunct 16.5 inch...- Catbox

Help me decide, paint the camper shell light blue or dark blue
I like the dark top. With perhaps a light blue pinstripe just above the bottom of the canopy to tie it further into the trucks paint. Like 1 or 2 inches up on the canopy a set of pinstripes similar to what outlines the two tone paint on the side of the truck. -
IS 350 TBI compatible with E10?
Our 1995 Sub and its TBI have ingested 1,000's of gallons of the E10. Seafoam is a good thing for them every once in a while and it will let you know when you need it too.- Catbox

Thank you post to y'all.
Good looking truck you have there. Nice work making the problems go away and then making it pass the sniffer test. We are working on making our truck pass as well and like you have a bad balancer. The new one is here and we just need to get it put on and then like you fiddle with the tune to get...- Catbox

Worth getting MSD?
I have run a full MSD set up on my VW Bug. Long ago I read that the pro's say that there is never too much ignition for an engine. I had the set up on a stock 1600cc engine. It ran like a champ for the years that I had it on the engine. Now there is an MSD distributor in my sons truck, he will...- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
I made him get that. He pulled away from the house one night and the truck all but disappeared. The stock lights are bright, just not enough to see that they are attached to a vehicle. The paint simply absorbs all the light around it, so perfect camo for a old timey booze runner. Not so good for...- Catbox

HELP WITH WHEEL AND TIRE SET UP
The kid bought one of these with his buddy. It has not been used just yet, but will tell you what you want to know for size and backspace. I like visual indicators for myself and this will be great when I need to do the figuring for my own cars. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM8SLXJP/- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
Max just informed me that the engine will rip right to 6,500 rpm with no issues. I also just stepped outside to take a current photo of it that shows the matching wheels and tires. As well as the repainted rear fenders. The guy he bought it from did the fake patina crap to it and sanded holes...- Catbox

1973 AMC Hornet
Correct with the non power steering. I will let him know about the shock mounts for sure. It is a super clean car and he is just the right nerd to own it as he wants to keep it fairly stock or easily put back to stock. He does want to up the power a bit and plans to yank the stock engine and...- Catbox

Headers/fastners
When Max was working at the parts house he ordered them right up. I am not totally sure now. A quick googleator search shows them everywhere.- Catbox

1973 AMC Hornet
So this one belongs to one of my sons friends, Jacob. He sold a Jeep Cherokee and found this one appealing to him and he purchased it a couple years ago. Just this week a cool review of his car was put out on to the YouTubes...- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
Just sitting and idling warming it up... Jaz fuel cell I told him to buy at the last swap meet for a massive $35. It had the pickup and roll over valve in it still as well as a functioning fuel sender. So for under $100 he has a 22 gallon fuel cell that will work much better than the boat tank...- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
Because I know you all like to see and hear stuff too.... The engine was still pretty cold and didn't want to idle well in gear. Not bad sounding from a cheesy little "RV" cam with 9:1 compression in a 307 with Summit Vortec heads on it...- Catbox

Headers/fastners
Remflex gaskets have worked well for my BBC with headers. No leaks from those, just leaks from the crappy collector gaskets we through in there for the "time being" that has turned into forever. One day we will redo those gaskets with the good stuff too.- Catbox

Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.
29 degrees out side last night. Just 3 young men out building a new 3 inch exhaust for the underside of this little truck. He hated the glass packs with a passion, so he went and picked up his universal set of 3 inch pipes from storage. Then it was time to start chopping and welding. This is...- Catbox
