We got a couple of those here in Houston. Drop BroncoTom a line and let him know. I'll look this weekend too.
Merry Christmas.

I'm not really sure of the year.... I'm pretty sure its somewhere between a '94-98 or so. Just take a look and you'll see one. BT should chime in here in a bit. He's the one that found the console's and he should know for sure.
I can't believe he's been so quiet.

Big Gulp???? I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Console ideas

Once again, my buddy, BroncoTom rises to the occasion. I finally have a place to put my Big Gulp while I motor along. I must say at this point, this idea is only a matter of his having a "terminal junk yard withdrawal attack" and accidentally stumbling across the right part and not a strok...

Like I said, a few layers of Saran Wrap between the lid and can and you'll have no problems.

It can be sprayed but read their directions carefully. Clean your equipment quickly and completely or you're going to regret it. If you brush it on and want to put the lid back on the can, be sure to use several layers of Saran Wrap between the lid and the can or you'll have to cut a hole in the lid...

Your biggest hurdle will be the crossmember under the firewall where the bell housing mounts go. Most likely you'll have to cut it out to get anything short of a stock motor to fit (not sure about the 300-6). If you do, be sure to take the fuel line and brake line off of it first. Grind and remove t...

Any new Texas Members out there?? This is kind of my yearly request so bear with me. Polecat is in Hutto, just outside Round Rock (Austin area). Mike Carson, Texas Monty, have you met him yet? All you other new Texas guys send me your information and I'll put you on the membership list for the Lone ...

Bill................. I bought a brand new '64 GTO coupe with the 4-speed 3x2 389 and it would smoke 'em. We drag raced out on the new unfinished US 19 from Albany, Ga. to Tallahassee, Fla. and after more than a few white knuckle stops I gave up. Problem was, it had 8" drums in the front and wh...

Rip. That is a truly world class sob story How much is your truck worth? Start saving a few bucks here and there and you'd be suprised how fast you get the cash. I have a manly man's straight axle truck too, and I did the disk brakes. I'm going to post a parts list in the "how to" section ...

Mellvis. Just get the spindles and related hardware off of a later model truck. The instructions are in the how to section. One other thing. If the truck you're using as a donor has front sway bars be sure to get the radius arms and I beams from it. BroncoTom and others are the resident experts on t...

Jack. If the system is new, you can just flush with the denatured alcohol and refill with DOT 5. Just leave the system open a day or so, so things will dry out before you refill and bleed. Actually, the DOT 5 is just my personal preference because I'm lazy and I'm not a road racer (silicone fluid ha...

More on brakes, no excuses

Brakes. 1950-60's technology. You have trouble stopping in a 40 acre field. The least glamorous thing on our trucks. Nobody sees them, there's no paint or chrome. Out of sight, out of mind...... until that rice burner swerves in front of you and slams on his brakes and you are forced to mate a Slick...

I'm pretty sure the 61-64 trucks are lighter than the later models and Nadine weighed in at a whopping 3780#'s on the truck scales. The weight bias F/R is pretty close to 70/30 so figure from there. If you're going to go to the junk yard, just get a set of V-8 springs. If you're going to buy new, ca...

Guys. Its a very simple thing to figure out. If you go with your regular insurance company they're going to rip you because you're driving a non-standard vehicle. I've had State Farm for 45 years or more and they were still going to hit me with almost $500 American just for basic liability coverage....
