    Any idea on a source for the hub cap clips??? A reasonably priced source? I've seen or heard that VW clips will work?

    Don, Do you have the part number for the rotor you used on your application?
  5. WarriorDog
    What rotor does your kit use? Cant remember which rotor is used on Rusty Hopes kit. The space between the inner and outer bearings has to be closer in order for the nut to get on the shaft further. The bearings will have to be 1/2 inch or so closer.

    Are you talking about the corner angle strips that attach to the bed sides? They are used to support the bed sides that sit on the wood bed platform? http://www.mar-k.com/catalog/index.aspx?LID=130

    Yes. Just put the new shiny parts in a container with some muriatic acid. It will remove the Zinc coating and the new will not look so "new" anymore. They will start rusting very quickly - almost immediatley. You can soak them in some baking soda water after that to neutralize the acid. I did this with all the Zinc coated parts I took in for powder coating. His rinse bath before he powder coats can't deal with the Zinc coating.

    Muriatic acid will get the Zinc coating off. They WILL begin to rust after that!!!

    Living in Memphis? I was lucky to stumble on one from Hamilton County AND it's a truck tag, too.

    Any ideas on how to secure a vintage license plate on the truck to prevent someone from stealing it? I purchased a 1950 Tennessee tag, that happens to be from my county, and will run this tag on my truck. Tennessee allows you to register an old tag to the current "Antique vehicle" tag. You can put the vintage tag on the vehicle and carry the newly issued "Antique Vehicle" tag in the cab. The vintage tag has to be from the same year as your truck model year. I want to run this tag but need a way to mount it securely so it can't be stolen. Here's some examples from Ebay pics. Also, does any one know of a vendor that will refurbish an old tag? I Probably won't have it refurbished and just leave it original as it's in pretty good shape.

    I was thinking of cutting up some of the old Radiator hoses to make the pads. Has anyone tried this idea? Conveyor belting is an idea also.

    Holy smokes!!!! These gauges look awesome. I haven't installed these gauges yet and probably won't until January or February. If they work as well as they look then I'll be as happy as a gopher in soft dirt. Here's some before and after pics. I had the chrome dash trim re chromed locally before I sent them to Kevin. Thanks Keven. These are gonna look great when it's all back together.

    Draft tube

    WarriorDog replied to LazyK's topic in P15-D24 Forum

    I'm watching this, also. I would like to remove the draft tube and somehow recycle the crankcase fumes out the exhaust pipe. Any suggestions. I don't have a threaded fitting on the intake manifold.

    I used a bearing splitter and a 3 fork puller. After about a 1/16 of a turn of the puller, the wheel popped off. Sixty dollars for the splitter and puller for a half second job. Any one know of a decently priced vendor that will refurbish the wheel?
  21. WarriorDog
    Nice score
  22. WarriorDog
    Interesting - Good stuff - Thanks

    Its a simple "H" pattern just as it is on any 3 speed floor shifter. Just moved to the column.

    Why Not? Make a little extra side money. I do stuff like this for my motorcycle trip money. It's paid for 4 NICE week long motorcycle rides/trips just this year. I'm heading to the Ozarks soon for a week. Alaska next year for 5 weeks. Several different items will start to add up.

    I thought about doing just that, but didn't have access to the machine shop stuff. Excellent idea and too bad that Tanks, INC. doesn't sell that style adapter piece for their tank.
