I did this!!!!!!!

**jayoldschool** · 05-23-2015, 10:35 PM

You put a sticker on the air cleaner? Busy day.

Kidding, of course. I've run an Edelbrock carb on my 71 Pontiac for over 20 years, and it runs great.

Yesterday I removed a cab from another truck that was being broken in the UK and today I did a 375 mile round trip to collect a set of wheels I won on evil bay

One of the few times you will see a Ford towing a Chevy

My eBay win

In the car on the way home

That was one very busy weekend

**Pappyx3!** · 05-24-2015, 02:03 PM

Martin,
Those are very nice wheels indeed, and a good price too. Be careful about the offset/backspacing. My guess is they are 10" wide wheels. I have found for a 15" wheel, that 3.75" of backspacing is good and 4" might rub the outer tie rod. It is very close.
Also be careful that your lugs are long enough. You should get at least 1/2" of lug threads into the lug nut.
Congratulations on getting a nice cab too.

I'm looking at your brake booster in the photo. It looks bent. Maybe twisted? What's up with the brake booster? It looks damaged.

Not sure....I never paid much attention. lol Been that way since I got the truck is all I know. I'll get a better picture for ya so you can tell me if something is bent. lol Works OK and is tight and not going anywhere so I never touched it. Will be replaced as the booster seems to be shot...barely touch the pedal and you fly through the windshield. haha

I went to Harbor Freight and bought a new Jack and wheel dollies so I can move it around inside the garage working on it.

Turtleman · 05-24-2015, 11:35 PM

Fantastic Job on the Gauge Cluster BJ383ss.. Looks real nice

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-25-2015, 12:05 AM

Got my intake manifold finished and headers painted today.

Grizz1963 · 05-25-2015, 07:00 AM

Found this little fridge magnet in Del's truck while stripping it for Martin yesterday.

Quite liked it.

Would guess its a few years old.

Anything of interest associated with it?

Sometimes these things are part of a bigger thing.
