Ah hah! I knew it was an easy fix. :)

First, Am I seeing things? When going to a topic the little round circle at the left of the column that indicates new posts has 4 dots in the center at 3, 6 9, and 12 o'clock position. I have noticed that 1 or two of them, usually the one in the center of the list, has the center 4 dots...

Yes, you could pour the acid in the tank and then agitate (sloshing) it back and forth somehow. Be careful of the fumes, they will torque your sinuses and burn your eyes. Wear a good resperator and do it outside in the fresh air. That should work. Use water to rinse and then follow up with a...

Not that it gets critically cold here on the Left Coast, ok so it gets down to 30 on occasion, are these heater units readily available or is it one of them "right place, right time, right money" deals? If I go into the Sierras this winter I will definately need one.

Nice! Aluminum heads and all! Thanks for the pics

I can post them back up. I also just got a great shot of an M211 duece with a 502 cu in Chev rat motor in it that passed my friend........doing about 75!!! I'll do that tomorrow when I get back in the office.

Going to order the parts tomorrow. What size is the socket for taking off the bearing lock nut(s)? I may get it apart and end up needing you doctors to be on standby to guide me through this operation........"juz like in ze Vurld Vor II moviez". :oops:

I just re-read your post and the residue you refer to (I assume it is old paint) can be removed with a right angle die grinder and some 3M felt type grinding disks. They look like the scouring pads you get for the kitchen only rougher. I you want I can get a part number and/or pictures. I am...

Maybe I can help out, I own a custom car paint and sign shop. As for correct color, I am in the dark. I am not an authority on correct paint colors. I purchased my paint from Antelope Valley Truck Parts in Lancaster Ca. http://www.avettruck.com/ There are other suppliers listed on the forum if...

Jones, That is just way too cool. Them rice farmers there (I also have a shop in Yuba City) will be falling all over themselves to get that for a bankout. Can't wail to see more pics and when you get it completed.

Hey Armada, I'm all warm and fuzzy.. Love them paybacks. And Westech, I alwaya like a happy ending. Sounds like the local gendarme may start ticketing the neighbors for being such a P.I.T.A.

Axle Seal replacement-bearing check Thanks Ken, To check for bearing wear what do I look for, cupping or small pits? My buisiness is painting cars and, when need be, I do some minor mechnanical so this will be a challenge for me.

I just got my duece registered (finally!!) :) :) and now it is time to drive the snot out of it. I thought it was a '71 but the gal at the counter put a call in and said it was a '73. So yay! Now, only one problem, I just noticed that the inside of my left front duals is leaking gear oil. It...

Hi Bill, Just tried the link at the top and it didn't work. Did some backdoor stuff and was able to get this one here: http://www.mvccnews.net/event_pages/tower_park_fall.htm I hope to be there Saturday afternoon. I will be in Seattle for the beginning of the week and I have a brand new...

Welcome aboard, M_Stark, You are about to meet a great bunch of people with a wealth of information to share with you. Good luck on your search for the perfect 6X6.

Ron, That is excellant, (news, part number, and the pic). What I am wondering is (looking at the picture): Does the cable have to be pulled straight down or can it be pulled from the side and still work? I'm off to Napa. Thank you

Jones, LOL I think you answered your own question........ :) Plus........... it is going to be awesome!!! Keep us up to date and some pics would be great.

James, Sounds like you got a handle on where your headed. You'll get there eventually. I had a High School reunion last night and this am I took an old high school buddy, who was in town for the event, to breakfast in the Duece. Got back to the shop and when I got out........ Ya know that...

Hi James, Ok now you're finally playing in my court. I have been custom painting cars since 1966. Ron is very correct. Yes, MEK is very strong solvent and will remove paint along with nosehair. But! Use this to remove the paint from the flywheel only! It will take a long time to "remove" the...

Wanting to install taller street tires for the long hauls for: more top end, less wear on the NDT tires, and ease of replacement when on a journey. I remember reading something about Ford 22.5" 6 lug rims. Tried the search feature and Pesto! I have been noticing the Hino trucks having 6 lug...
