I know it's been a while since I was on here, I only call on you guys when I need help. I'm trying to get the 9" rear in my 34 Chevy coupe put together. I had avoided it because I figured it was a cobbled up mess and I was right. It had 2.50:1 gears, missing a bearing race on the carrier and...

Happy Birthday, Tom!

Congratulations Steve! You're making me jealous, I'm up to 85 associates and tired of fighting people who don't want to work and parts shortages every week shutting off half of my division. I've told my boss that I'll be leaving in July 2024, that's when I'll be eligible for full social security.

Is the truck chocked or sitting where there is a load on the drive line? That would make it hard to pull out of gear but once you get it out, it should shift through the gears.

I bought a complete set from Truck and Car shop a couple of years ago for around $700. They fit plenty good enough for what I do. My November 2021 catalog still shows it for $685. Front fender moldings show $64 each and a full set of door moldings is $124. WWWTruckandCarShop.com

Some of you guys need to buy my 65 LCF truck with the original 348 and make a ramp truck out of it, I'm never going to have time.

Very sorry to hear that Skip, my deepest condolences.

I just read an article about it. It's going to Oklahoma city to be put together as a mock up for future heavy weapons testing. I taught the B-52 weapons tech school at Lowry AFB from 84-86. I was stationed at Loring in Caribou Maine on them from 89-92. I was the NCOIC of weapons loading at Diego...

I wonder if if I can talk Deb into coming up, it's about 3 1/2 hours for us. I haven't been on the computer all week so I just saw it.

The converters in 4L60E, 6L80 and 90 have always had problems in shudder in lock up. The 8L series is even worse and is the subject of a class action lawsuit against GM. We've tried lots of different lining materials and different fluids, we're using a carbon fiber weave right now, much like the...

The best thing to ever happen to the active fuel management or displacement on demand is the chip shortage that's forcing GM to build vehicles without it. A couple of years ago we started building a DOD delete engine at Jasper and it was an instant best seller. The R&D department tried to...

I'm back to working on the 61 Bubbletop, when I can get away from work and now I've hit another stumble. I don't have rear arm rest bases for the car, I do have a drivers side base left over from the 63 that I can save but I don't know for sure if they're the same. If they are the same, does...

Happy birthday, Wayne

I knew a guy who got an article 15 for making that same gesture to a female Captain, once.

I used to read a lot of Verne's posts over on the Chevy talk forum, he sure knew his stuff.
