    Front shocks still too squishy...help.

    Shortly after I got the truck, I swapped out all the shocks with Monroe Gas Magnums. Granted it was much better, but the front end still does way too many rebounds after RR tracks or the likes. The rear end is fine. This is a Big 10 with heavy suspension. All original. No lower or lift kit. I...

    Good Monday to all... Yesterday the driver's window crank gave up...fortunately the window was and is up. Figured I'd just go to the local self serve scrap yard and pop a couple off and everything would be ok. Found a couple and wagged them home. Well, that was a flop....but most of you had...

    Almost found a dizzy.

    Hit the candy store and walked the "returns" isles. Found a dizzy with the HEI coil on top. My heart skipped a couple beats. Scanned the qr code. It said Gen1 small block Chevy. Took it to the tech counter to double check. It had a bronze gear which I though was ok, but when he say it he said it...

    Another candy store score

    It's been just under 6 months since I posted the last water pump find snafu. And yesterday I found this water pump on the "demo" shelf next to a cast iron one. Both were the same price. Neither had gaskets. But I already have those. The cast iron was painted black and some paint had been scraped...

(One on each side) I need to remove the TCM so as to cut a notch in it and it can't be done wothout removal. If I unbolt the gusset pieces and TCM bolts can it be...

    Aftermarket tranny cross member

    Good morning group. Has anyone replaced the tranny cross member with an aftermarket unit? I'm getting fed up with the tight space between the cross member and the tranny oil pan. I put on an aftermarket oil pan and now it's impossible to get to the back 2 bolts without jacking up the rear of the...

    TransGo shift kit install...

    Over the winter I picked a Quadrajet as an exact numbers replacement/backup. I called Cliff to get his kit and we got to chatting. I shared my intent for the Big10 and he suggested a TransGo 1&2 shift kit. Depending on the springs installed will dictate the personality; street or...

    New paint gun

    Good evening, (in the voice of Alfred Hitchcock)..lol Fresh from the postman, my new Inokraft D1. I've seen some good reviews and figured it a step up from the $30 Hazard Fraught gun. I'll use that one for primer. Everything seems well machined and of good fitment. However I have not yet...

    Old wheel bearing grease cans.

    Hey group, I have a couple of old wheel bearing grease cans. These were my dad's and are between 50 and 60 years old. I remember him using them on the trailer wheels. In my clearing out of "stuff" I ran across them. The grease has been mostly cleaned out. I have not completely cleaned up the...

    Candy store skore

    On my list of to-do's was an oil pan. And when I pull the motor to replace lower seals and gaskets, (at some point) why would one not put on a new pan? So it was on the list....well "was" noted. After checking the flange flattness and double checking fitment with a tech-guy, a new oil pan...

    First time "real" painting.

    Popped that cherry this afternoon. Other than some airbrush-ing in high school, I've never painted with anything other than a rattle can. And let me just say, "Holy Krap" that $$$$ is expensive. Over $200 just in a quart of urathane primer and all the ******-berries that goes with it. I stopped...

    Dead in the water.

    Well, yesterday went from elation to deflation in a short hurry....but I can still laugh at it. Went to my favorite toy store, Summit Racing, and pruised the "returned" rack, which has been pretty bare lately, and what before my lustful eyes appeared a polished cast aluminum Edelbrock high flow...

    Retiree bronze plaque.

    A tad bit off topic and not even GM... But I don't have a ford to get on the board...so here goes : For sale: 2 Bronze Retiree Plaques.
