    What are you using to paint wing window frames

    A big powder coating facility is among the many things I take care of in my job at a manufacturing company, I’ll definitely be getting mine done.

    Hello from Indiana!

    Welcome! Back in the day we loved going to Salem & Winchester for asphalt racing, many times the UMP cars were there.

    I’ll get up there to AMD Thurs or Fri Let’s see how many parts I can get in a fifth wheel

    Most affordable shipping for body panels?

    Depending on how big of a box a bed side comes in, I believe I could do it.. Is there a sales counter there at AMD, or will I have to arrange it by phone or Email?

    Mystery Bracket Under Dash

    That’s exactly what it is. Just took all that apart on mine a short time ago.

    It’s not the height of the tire it’s the circumference

    Most affordable shipping for body panels?

    Im pretty sure it wouldn’t fit… maybe strapped to the ladder? I’m here all week so I’ll be exploring my options

    Most affordable shipping for body panels?

    I’m on vacation right now, and AMD is less than a hour away from me… but I don’t have anywhere in my rig to haul a bed side home. A fifthwheel hitch takes up a lot of space in a dually. :)

    Stuck Hood

    Get a “Slim Jim” tool, I’ve used it to get hoods open in the past.

    Transfer case support brace. Who got one to sell?

    I got lucky the guy I bought my 208 from just had the brace laying there with it.. there was no mention of it in his ad. It’s 36 1/2” works good with the TH400 and an aftermarket adapter. Fabbing one certainly wouldn’t be difficult, mild steel would be adequate.

    Most affordable shipping for body panels?

    I’m about 8 hrs away from LMC going west, 8 hrs from AMD going south. I’m getting ready to need a long bed side among a bunch of other body parts so I’ll certainly consider possibly scheduling a pickup and driving to avoid shipping charges.

    oops, wrong thread

    Turbo 400 with rad cooler what lines are you using

    I used the set from LMC, they’re for a TH400, they fit just fine. Any line set you buy is going to need a little tweaking… get the little S clips with them.

    Fuel Pump Sending Unit Main Harness

    On my 78 there are two separate harnesses. The tank wiring is a round plug that goes up the drivers side frame rail and enters the cab below the accelerator cable.

    Trash my dash? And interior panel take offs?

    Do mean in this kind of condition? I never once thought about saving these, I just haven’t had a chance to toss them in the dumpster. My workshop space is too limited to waste it on something that I don’t have current need for.

    Sanderson BB8-P headers on a 454 in a crew cab dually

    A private equity firm named Sentinel Capital Partners bought the vast majority of those companies a few years ago. That’s when things really changed in the automotive aftermarket world.

    No fuel in carb at start up

    The epoxy would work, but it wasn’t a long term fix, eventually it would fail also. There used to be replacement plug kits that had o-rings that replace the originals. It’s been decades since I’ve worked on a Qjet though they may not be available any more.

    No fuel in carb at start up

    Is it a Quadrajet carb? If so the well plugs need to be sealed. I haven’t done it in many years but we used to epoxy them.

    What is this noise/chirp…speedometer cable?

    Graphite is in cable lube, that’s what you should use.

    Door hinge question:

    I just went through this on my hinges, both sides were in terrible shape. It seems none of the individual hinge parts are available, but complete new hinges are…

    The Flowmaster “50” series used to be their quiet ones.. not sure about now.

    Inspect it carefully. This is what I found on mine.

    How about Steve’s Blazer

    Saw this today, probably a cool piece. My best friend is heavily involved with the Mecum auction scene, I’ve been to a couple with him it’s a blast. https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/steve-mcqueen-1970-chevrolet-k5-blazer-auction-1235572434/

    Seat recovering

    Here’s what mine look like. I’m pretty sure my father had them recovered sometime in the last two decades.
