    my new (first) vette, or my wifes? LOL

    just a quick running video from the other day, got alot of interior back in, ordered and got in new pioneer front 4x6's, need to reinstall the dash, hook everything up, dye the pass door panel and arm rest, and fix that window motor. As well as the door latch

    honestly though this jig perfect for the camaro, I should have built mine to flip the other side up, more spots on the pass side and that's the side down low on the floor.

    yes my whole reason was to be able to get to the torque box and the floor brace as well as th epan. For me by myself its gonna be a real pain working on them since I'd need it on it's side and laying flat, and the height of it all the car has to sit in the middle of the garage to accomplish it...

    It really was. If anything I coud have raised the car so it'd be easier to flip. I could get most of the side up but there was a good bit of weight, I saw alot of guys do it alone, and their's was higher off the ground so I assume that's why. It didn't give 2 of us any trouble we actually got it...

    now you can see the crap job on the rear pan they did. They cut the support completely in half and never welded it back, they never spot welded the pan to it, and they never treated the pan let it rust top and bottom.

    also up above that 3rd pic shows the dent in the frame rail that was the same spot the sway bar link was bent, and remember both main leafs were broke, and the DS coil spring had 2 full rounds broke off seperately. the rear tail pan is crap of course and then you can see a hole peeking out near...

    that torque box doesn't look the best, lil hole near the rear shackle hole in the frame, the crappy hack job they done on the trunk drop offs.

    g80 or gov loc removal to make it open? is it possible

    I would but in my case that'd be never. I don't have a problem trying to find an open carrier later, that'd work fine for me as I wanted to do a lunch box type locker anyways. It may also be cheap enough to find a used open diff. that'd hold those gears. The TA has an open diff now, and might...

    g80 or gov loc removal to make it open? is it possible

    that was my thoughts. I know I could always get in there with a cut off and chop them off and out of the way I guess. I'll have to check into it once I get it out. It's gonna be basically scrap anyways so no harm if it doesn't work.

    fleetside bed floor braces/supports any ideas on where to find? or build?

    As some others of you probably have, like me, rotted bed floor cross sills or braces/supports under the fleetside steel floor. Well they make them replacements for stepsides. I know they also have them for older trucks not sure if the 67-72's are for steel fleetside beds or not. If so those...

    Fleetside passenger bed side

    if the normal places aint got em, like ebay, lmc, brothers trucks, classic industries, classic parts of america etc. Try local places as well. If that fails and no junkyards near you have anything may need to find replacement panels and rebuild what you have if you have anything? If not then...

    g80 or gov loc removal to make it open? is it possible

    That's what the uotube video was saying to remove those weight that run from side to sid enad let er fly but I dunno

    g80 or gov loc removal to make it open? is it possible

    Is it possible to remove the weights from a g80 setup and make it open? I know it'd be easy enough to find an open carrier, or to find another posi unit or something to swap. I'm looking for cheap options, not so much a g80 rebuild, and without ebing able to travel or find junkyards close...

    2001 silverado project. well, its gonna be a LS1 now, 500hp N/A dreams

    oh those are brand new tires, and aftermarket wheels 16's he'd keep those and let go for less I'm sure. He was going to junk it and sell the wheels and tires. He told me flat out he has to pay the guy he got it from 200, and then he wants some cash for himself, thus the 500 price tag. I'd say it...

    sure does body is rough, and it lost spark so he says, but he was asking $500 for it, price might go lower now just sitting collecting bags of trash. Frame is trashed on it too bad under each rear cab mount

    2wd th350 in place of 4wd 700r4

    good deal. I just wanted to give some info that I learned about them just in the last year or so having mine with a 208 and wanting to do a th350, then having a 88 years back that we did have the swap kit in and was on a 241 case. IMO th350, alot better trans then a 700r4. A built 700r4 yea...

    2wd th350 in place of 4wd 700r4

    let me break some of this down more for you as well, the swap kit from tekpak fitzal or whatever worked with any th350 as it has the right shaft to mate up and go in place of a 700r4 which uses the same adapter to the t-case and usually is a 208 behind a 700r4. To use a 6 inch short shaft 2wd...
