  1. "Perfectly Normal" but, you do look like you have aged quite a bit since you started this project. Hank

  2. I hate the look of "armoralled" tires, or worse yet the "wet" look. Natural looking clean rubber is all you need.

  3. I went to a cruise night here in my town, met a bunch of nice guys. Only truck there, mostly hot rods and muscle cars. Funniest thing was this one guy who hung around for a while, really liked the truck, said I needed to Armourall the tires and could not believe I used the truck to do work. Had to show him the scratches in the bed and tailgate. Kept shaking his head. I'm gonna look for some truck club events, I want to meet others with these great old Dodges.

  4. FESTER60, I struggled trying to source a dip stick for my LA 318 with a rear sump. I don't know what the rear sump came out of. All I knew was the S channel in the side of the sump was too narrow to accept all of the sticks I tried. I choose the odious task of filing the edge of a dip stick the whole length with a hand file to make it more narrow. To my great delight the stick was soft metal and the task did not take very long. The next step was to pour in the correct number of quarts of oil, insert the stick, and adjust the stick length accordingly.

  5. What is the condition of the portion of the pinion flange that the seal runs on? If it has been worn then throwing new seals on there will just damage the new seal and it will leak immediately. If the surface is worn, rough or grooved, a speedi-sleeve could be an easy fix when you install yet another new undamaged seal.

  6. no on the firewall mod...but you have a ton of other consideration you have not even mentioned...and I would not say not do it..only I will point out it is a path of no return and for every mod there is 2-3 others to support it or affected by the modification. You will need plenty of room inside a well lit shop, proper fabrication tools and skill and be a skilled welder. As you think a certain frame is always a good choice...(it is) you would do well now to get the book on both vehicles as the frame dimensions and auge holes are clearly marked and specs are well listed. Get out your tape measure and a good pad of paper..the job starts here....not with a sawzall...see in your mind what is where and how each will transfer and interact...make your list...

  7. Raceandoval, Not much to add other than one member suggested painting the back side of the dash a bright color to make everything easier to see next time you're under it. I used a bright yellow because that's what I had and it made all the difference. -Randy
