Recovery from H-E-double-hockeysticks. Lots of stuff went wrong from breakages to the worst weather I have ever driven in but luckily there were no major vehicle malfunctions. While Mik was warm and snug in his M915, I was driving fuzzytoaster's M813 (no heater) with my '89 Blazer in the bed...

I'll be there. Should even be bringing my lady with me.

Got it on my calendar!

My MV is still in MI but I'll be there.

Good looking tires! I hear you got a killer deal on them, too. ;)

Thanks. It will good to meet people who probably aren't out to rip me off. *coff-coff* NICK *coff-coff*

Will be moving down there soon. Hoping to make the September meet but will be at October's for sure.

That's a good place to start but unless everything in the drivetrain is exactly the same length and in exactly the same relative position (highly doubtful), then it's still going to be "by guess and by golly". That being said, having a cable that's too long is better than having one too short...

Maybe take your autometer gauge to your local parts store, have them show you an SM465 speedo cable and see if it will fit your gauge. I'm almost sure that I actually have an SM465 cable in my garage but they're cheap, so it would probably be faster and easier to just hit up your local...

Need any parts? Got a few things I could be persuaded to let go. ;)

I may be in the area picking up a vehicle that day. If so, I'll try to stop by. Do you have an actual address for the location? Nevermind. Found the address.

Cool! Have you seen any for sale? I'm in the market for one.

And they don't have air conditioning or cruise control.

Remove the starter (DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES FIRST!!) and you may get lucky enough that there's still a nub sticking out out of the hole, which you can grab with a set of vise grips and twist out. If not, get yourself a good center punch and a set of left-hand-twist drill bits and go to town...

Aww... don't scare the poor guy. Half of the threads are missing, so it obviously broke and didn't just back out so maybe the PO just over-torqued it. [thumbzup] On the plus side, just about every iron-block GM V8 uses the same bolts, so you should be able to find one at your local auto parts...

Starter bolt. You have one more holding the starter in before you're having a really bad day.

If you have the necessary tools and skills, you can fabricate a new bottom mount.

It's pretty straightforward to get the tanks out. Just a few nuts and bolts and some air lines.

The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity...

I'm still waiting for Westech to PM me back. Do you have his phone number or e-mail address? I found another truck in Ohio but I would like to help out a member first, if I can. Funny... that's exactly what the driver said after it happened. "I guess I should have blocked up the tail." Lol.
