As long as it's an inch forward that's progress ! I just hate it when you thought you finished a project and then found out you did something wrong or left something out ! That is a step backwards ! I'll take the inch forward any day !
Well in my case my father died 21 years ago. He was 77. So when my older brother called me an old fart that hurt ! Of course I had just called him an "old decrepit fossil ! "
I haven't been complimented on my fare complexion for some time now !
Actually I wear Nitrile gloves religiously whenever I'm working on dirty vehicles and using cleaning solvents. Have for over 30 years ever since this old fart ( I like that me calling someone an old fart ! ) told me to protect...
Actually I do have a story about drilling the frames on the IHC "Sliders". A slider is basically a frame with a cab on it and a steering axle up front. The customer selects the engine and transmission and the differential or differentials . The shop would then assembly this for the customer...
Sorry I'm on late tonight. To answer the bolt question, grade 8 is what you "must" use for vehicle frames. In fact the correct bolt to use on frames is a Grade 8 Fine Thread "Flange" bolt with grade 8 "Flanged Stover" nuts. The torque on this 5/8" bolt would be 180 ft Ibs. If you used a course...

I know ! Ain't it great !!! My wife has a fit when I bring the Ding-Dongs and Ho-Ho's though. She keeps saying I'm going to die from a heart-attack from all the junk food and then who's going to take care of her and the boy ! Of course that doesn't stop her from stealing and eating my stash !
I love peanut M&M's !!!! In fact I have a bag stashed right next to my computer ! The problem is the wife and kid also love them and are always stealing my stash !

Been accused of building an ice cream truck.
Them is fighting words ! No self respecting Military Truck should have to deal with such indignity !!! Especially one as nice as yours !
