I would like to replace the front axel on my 59 PU with a late model suspension . I have heard that a mid 70's chevy PU will do the job but I dont know for sure what years will work. Anyone that has done this or knows about it please help me. Thanks much Al

I have the truck mentioned and would like to convert it to power steering and use a later model suspension. I have herd that a 71 and later Chevy PU front suspension and the steering set up will work for that. Any one have any input for me on this. The truck has a 350 and 400 T.H. trans. Also...

does anyone know if there is some one rebuilding or offering a diaphram to replace the 59 Morane brake booster ? thanks Al Pryor

It is indeed Charley Price that I have dealt with personally. As far as I can tell he is swamped with orders and can not keep up. He has told me he would like to hire help but in slow times he has problems finding them work. His work load is no excuse for his anger problem and lack of customer...

A while back I ordered two new cast aluminium Rochester end bases from V.I. for my 3x2 setup. I mounted the bases and found one was not sealing properly which kept the 348 from idling properly. I emailed V.I. and told them and they said return it. I did and now they will not return a...

I would like some help deciding what the best harmonic balancer for the 348 would be and the place to find one. Show Cars is the only place I have found that shows any at all. They have a standard for 348 and low performance 409 and a fluid balanced one. My motor has a mild cam . I am having...

Born on the 4th of July Tom Cruse was in this flick. There was a 58 black and white station wagon. I actually owned that wagon for about a year.

I know some will say Vintage speed but old Charley has a problem putting my credit card through so he ask me not to order from him. :? So where else can I get Rochester jets and gaskets from. :dunno

I ship and receive a lot of stuff . I have used all three shippers. Fedex,UPS and USPS. I favor USPS because it is much cheaper and I have had no problems of any kind with them. I have had 3 claims with UPS and they paid on a cheap one. Looks like they pay cheap ones but find a problem in...

con artist ,be aware of them I had a 41harley with side car all restored # matching for sale for about a year. I had it listed on a web site for sale and early in my listing , when these cons were just getting started I got an email from an African state. The guy said he wanted the bike and...

I have ordered numerous items from people and have never run accrose a person such as the Vintiage Speed C. Price. I ordered new Alum. 3x2 bases from him and he did not send gaskets as his add claims, nor will he respond about them when I ask. ( update, he finely says he will send the gaskets)...

I have never used one of these before and would like input as to what kind I would need for the W motor and how do they connect. There are hundreds on Ebay. Don't know where to start. Also are they worth the purchase.

Boy you got that right. Al

One of my favorite things to do was go to the Fremont drags. :love I ran a few time in grudge matches. One of my most aggravating things in those race days was I used to break rear ends all the time, :cuss never blew a tyranny. Any how I blew so many in my 59 Vett. that I used to carry a...

Remembering these old experiences is fun. In 1964 just north a ways from Santa Clara , Calif is a road named Coffin Rd. At that time it was in the country and the kids all used to go there to drag race , What a name for a drag road !!! A match was struck up at the A & W drive for pink slips...
