That's why the Nylock (you know, those nuts with the plastic in them) so it can be properly loose without becoming too loose.

Ive only had trouble with those

But then again, im never the one who puts them on. Maybe done incorrectly? Age?

One handle needs a new rivet.. anyone know how easy that would be to do?

forgive my ignorance, what do you mean?

Replace the rivet with a nut (nylok) and screw.
A Nylok nut has nylon on one end that seizes the screw and helps prevent it from working loose.
Where I said 'SS' I should have spelled out 'Stainless Steel'.

Look just like the pair my dad had all my life! Would wager they were in the RV when he passed.

Hustler Stick....straightened my bumper in <10 min.


After fighting with rusty bolts on the rear bumper, I picked up this torque monster a week later -

Was cheaper than anyone else (1/2 list).....ironically from the same place I got the Hustler Stick. UFB torque and whats more.....for $4 more I got the 'combo' that was the 1/2" impact along with a 1/4" impact (cheapest I found that was $148). I had (8) 35 yr old 3/4" bolts off in -maybe- 10 minutes. Love it.

Building the Th400 in my '80 K30 since it's going to be a plow truck and pull an ungodly amount behind a 454 and it looks like it is bone stock. Been so long since I did an auto that I didn't have tools anymore, lol.

Beside the snap ring pliers and all the basic stuff you probably already have DO NOT forget the thin wall 3/8 twelve point socket to get the center support bolt out on the TH400!!

Still have one I made way back then...found it in my tools a few weeks ago and was puzzled over why I had ground it down to a thin wall till I was going over the tools I needed, lol.

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on one of these boxes for the 75. Guess it's a tool?
