    Dupicolor POR

    Same here including polyurathanes... like encapsulators. Sorry my spelling is a shack of shit tonight. Anyway, if your shop is warm and dry you can get clean steel to not flash rust in 5 minutes. Also, rub in rust convertor first... any micro rust veins will suck it up. Your supposed to wash...

    What would you do? Cab trim paint color

    I just white squares. But white white, not any off color yellowed white. Back in the 80's Dupont made Miracryle acrylic auto paint, They has this Diamond White that made you wear sunglasses. I painted my 78 Heavy Half with this awesome product. I like what a little blue does to white paint...

    intake tricks produce horse power

    You're right Eric. Smooth only works for very high velocity. That's why we don't polish intake ports.

    How straight are our axles?

    No not here Shaker... sorry I can't remember where I've heard this discussion.

    How straight are our axles?

    This story sounds familiar. I think these axles are all like this. As far as balance is concerned, perhaps the moment of inertia or rotating inertia is low enough it doesn't cause issues.

    Quick question on front rotors / wheel bearings

    I wipe my greasy hands off on the spindle just for rust protection.

    Need help: Rear Axle Removal.

    I'm think the splines might be catching on the sharp axle tube. Push it in and then try again. Might need some momentum to 'bounce' the splines over the edge of the tube.

    Trailer tires

    My car hauler has 4 different brands of worn out whatever tires. I pull trailer with Big Blue <<<< and it gets there and back.

    2,3 or 4 core radiator for BBC?

    You're very correct here... and if you drive like Ken Block (high speed drifting on gravel roads) you may find gravel has 'splashed' up inside your engine compartment, hit the fan and made holes in the aluminum rad. I actually did this... it was fun until green came out. Also, hard core 4...

    Headliner Woes

    i was thinking of just resin with hardener. If it soaks in, even a little, that should be all you need. Might need to prop up the liner with sticks so it's not sagging when you hit it. And lots of hardener so it... hardens... quickly and all the way through.

    Headliner Woes

    It doesn't help you don't live on a coast, but if you source fiberglass through the boat industry in 5 gallon buckets it's the best price. Not like the the auto industry.. still pricey but won't kill ya. But I like the idea. Just resin with lots of hardener...

    Headliner Woes

    No it wouldn't do anything! Nice try though... it would allow the interior to get a bit cooler while driving with the AC on.... or warmer in the winter!

    Burb Needs a New Transmission

    Well imo your an odd case, in a good way. Lesser men than you have roasted greater 700s than yours, with less effort than what you put your through. Your experience in my experience, is way beyond what is to be expected. I suggest you do your fellow truckers a favor and don't share this...

    I was wrong, you are right. Look at the pic below. It just looked so angular to my eyes.

    Burb Needs a New Transmission

    You're the first to mention the gear ratio and then what happened? He wants to run 33" tires. Absolutely needs to gear down. You know how the 700 doesn't like to be lugged. Even with the lower first gear is too much strain on it, and nuclear temps will cook it. AND he want to tow... eesh. Gear...

    Headers or Manifold ?

    Can you not tweak the shift linage as well as pound some clearance into the header pipe?
