Re: I'm legit again, my "new" '68 LB

I have a NAPA EVR on my '71 Jimmy. It's been on a while, no problems so far. I think it's lifetime guaranteed.
On the '68 Stepside, the EVRs came from Checker Auto, now O'Reilly's, are also warrantied for life, Borg-Warner, and Made in USA, but have a higher failure rate. I keep changing them out.

I also found that rubber grommets on both sides of the radiator bulkhead, around 1/4''-20 carriage bolts work better than replacing the OEM fasteners.

The Stepside is a Chevy, and I have "Lazy Vowel Syndrome" where the Es tend to droop down at 45*. I did steal an E from the '67 Suburban's hood. The GMC letters on the Jimmy's hood are really on there.
