    79 Trans am

    still not much going on weather sucks. I did strip more interior out, brought the seats inside in the house and carpet to avoid any chance a cart may claw or barf on em. Plus less parts to move around/trip over/work around. I think we may have decided to paint the entire car red instead of...

    extended bumpstops

    I know energy suspension has some big longer poly ones for uyp front might have some for the rear as well. I never really saw a need for em on a lifted truck. I understand stock or close and hauling you might need some. I guess on a lifted truck if it flexes enough it might hit?

    Adapt 4x4 Th350 in Place of 700r4

    leave it alone that's the lockup when you put in the th350 you can leave it hanging. Maybe tape the end to keep out dirt, then if you ever do a lockup th350 or another 700r4 you can reuse it.

    switching from th350 long tail to th350 short, help please...

    if you can find a junkyard or another truck same length with a 3 speed on the column it's the right length and spline for a th350 short shaft. . My dad's 84 short bed c10 had a long tail or 9 inch tail th350 in it and we put in a th350 6 inch short shaft, all bolts up perfectly, just need the...

    Lund Cab Visor

    I don't care what anyone says I love those, and the rear cab ones. not a huge fan of bug flectors, rather cowl hood or something. I always hated the large flat flares, or flaps. The truck nutz came around in the 90's hate them I love roll bars and cab fairings, visors etc. I would have left...

    Now I have to try and find something to make it worth while for bucket to do it for me. I wished my camera did better so I could snap some pics as I cut that area out as mentioned and wire brushed it some earlier.

    79 Trans am

    I know you can that's what I said I'm confident in you being able to do it. As for the entire rear legs they seem good to me, the sides around the hole are what concern me both are rusted and I bet thin since the rot hole in bottom. The rear straight leg when I cut the rust hole open you can...

    I know exactly why I said I've been asking about some others doing the welding somebody will more experience in doing so

    79 Trans am

    that was my thoughts but being in the rust belt and all the salt and age most I find may end up being the same. I don't get to travel to find another and the shipping cost of truck freight alone is more then I usually have to spend at one time. I swear I'm building this car 20 at a time or...
