Re: 1958 Apache Big Window Loooooong Bed "Lucky"

Well I've been apprehensive about welding on the coilover upper mounts, fearing that the coilovers might touch the frame. I should actually order some coilovers, perhaps, so I can check (:

Has anyone used something else besides the Aldan American coilovers that FlatOut sells?

In order to not lose any momentum, I'm trying to stay busy with the truck no matter whats happening. I decided it was time to inspect this $1000 LS engine/tranny that I got, and so far, I'm getting what I paid for:



This filthy disaster was missing a proper intake manifold gasket and instead had red silicone in its place. Abhorrent.

I cleaned it up to get it ready for a replacement manifold since this one was damaged, and a Fel-Pro gasket. I pulled the valley cover while I was at it, and will replace that gasket as well, since I'm already there, and it's cheap insurance to just do it now.
