Here are additional pics I couldn't upload.

Back working on it. Took some pics to show you the extent of the rust which isnt even half of it considering the tailpan is gone and I cannot open the tailgate without one side of it falling and all 4 floor supports/ body mounts need replacing. I had to remove the exhaust as I had no rear...

The fact that it's 27 plus or minus years old means there will be some repairs from dried out seals etc. Some of the fun is in the Mods depending upon what you want and if you have not done so the Doghead Mod is a must! It will save you a starter, flywheel, and burnt wiring.

That's wise. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Very Nice!

Tilt is the way to go, forget the fixed column and make sure to switch out your locks as the original key is universal and can even be purchased on *Bay by anyone.

Are you using the 383 CARC OD Green?

Safely jack it up and support it. Automotive lift strongly recomended so you can stand underneath it. Pull the cover. Have a buddy start it and watch your flywheel. They warp and teeth magicaly start breaking or chipping. If it tracks straight and true with no teeth issues inspect the starter...

Once I get the severe rust issues resolved (including a rotted metal rear brake line) and move on to installing my A/C I will go with a fluid damper as well because I have to change out the crank pulley from the 3 sheave to the 4 anyway to accomodate the compressor.

Unfortunately recalls are not forever. I work for a Ford Dealership and they have a cap. After 10 years manufacturers are not required to carrry parts or support their product unless it is has a Safety Recall and even those only last for so long before you can no longer get the parts or all...

What I have been saying. The Dealers say it's too old.

[/COLOR] Looks like someone beat me to it.

My preventative maint for the web cracking was the DSG stud girdle kit. I had to reseal the pan and do the rear main anyway so it was a no brainer. Depending on the value of the dollar it is $179.00 shipped from Canada which is alot less money. The stud girdle kit is listed with the 6.5 parts...

I think someone may have been blowing smoke (Diesel). All the dealers in the Jacksonville Florida area said it was too old and I even brought the copy of the recall from All Data (does not have GM pay codes) which was useless. Our vin#'s do not come up on the GM warranty system which is where...

Red tops and a solargizer! No problems!

I would be interested to see a copy as well even though mine have already been replaced with Napa lines.

You were one of the lucky ones. You need to look for hidden cancer as it starts behind the rockers moving onto the floorboards and up the b pillars inside. The tail pans rot as well. Ask me how I know. Mine will be with me as long as there are welders, sheet metal, and replacement parts. If an...

Paid $800 for ole Rusty in Orlando last October with 23K miles, broken qtr glass, bad starter and flywheel, and dead batteries. Needs lots of body repair but shes up and running and being driven. Price is subjective 2 non modified 60k mile units sold in Jax for 3k recently and the well on GL for...
