  1. These guys do a great job rebuilding them, although it is kind of pricey. http://www.autofriction.com/home.html

  3. I've heard that O'Reilly is trying to match parts prices and availability. Haven't tried it myself yet but another fellow local to me shopped online, found the parts he needed for his '40s vehicle at Rock Auto. Used those modern part numbers to find them at O'Reilly and then had them set for pickup at his local store. Net result: He got Rock Auto prices, no shipping cost and was able to look at the parts and decide if he wanted them before paying and taking them.

  7. Andydodge - LOL, ok, yes, maybe I am a hotrodder, but I like keeping things "traditional", as much as I can, so any hotrodding on the Crankbrook would be old school...dual carbs, reground cam, milled head, maybe crossdrill the crank for better oiling. I'm not a big fan of automatic transmissions, fuel injection, bolt on or clipped front ends, etc. I still want to know (and feel) that I'm driving an old car. If I wanted modern day performance, I'd buy a brandy-new Challenger. Chris

  9. Another outstanding BBQ! I went on vacation for a week after the last camper left Tuesday, and now that I'm back, I wish everyone was still here! It all started out innocently enough with the weather threatening rain and the wind picking up. But like last year, Tod (Todfitch) reminded us that the weather has a way of changing its mind without telling the weather man. I held my breathe, because with so many coming from far away, a less than beautiful day could keep the trucks away. It was in the 70’s and beautiful the whole week. The first man to arrive was Jeremiah (Ram Man 02) from Minnesota. He drove his Saturn for two days arriving on Thursday night. The first truck was Paul's which I had picked up on a Tuesday. It was Paul's truck Jeremiah and I first talked about and visited over. It was on to Burger King and what I like to call "Hamburger Week" began. We had a strong work day with the help a lot of awesome workers Jim Shepard (Jim Shepard), John T (John-T-53 ), Zac, Jeremiah, and Justin. Friday saw the arrival of Mark (ggdad1951) from MN, Merle (Merle Coggins) and his lovely lady, Michele, from Wisconsin. Merle waited at the airport for Mark and the 3 of them met Jim Shepard, Jeremiah, Zac and myself (48Dodger) at "The Squeeze Inn" in Galt, Ca. What a great start! Mark is a funny guy and kept me laughing all week. He listens as well as being a wealth of common sense. I consider him a real friend. Jeremiah is a good soul and I enjoyed our long conversations. He's on the quiet side like my son, yet Zac and he talked a lot! Seems every time I turned around, they were yakking away. I'm sure he knows some things about my son I don't, lol. That night we gathered around the fire pit and got to know all the folks who made the long trip from just about everywhere to make the BBQ. I sometimes call the whole event a family reunion, because so many of us have written with each other on the forum for years. Hank (HanksB3B) his wife Blanca, Davin (Desotodav) from Brisbane Australia were there, along with my brother, his wife Elaine, all the folks from Oregon, George, George Jr. , Del and his wife (help with her name?) and locals Dave and Christyann from Dodge City, Jamestown, Ca. It was a good night of fun sitting around the fire and laughing it up. The day of the event was a flurry of people, cars, trucks and food. My brother John and my son Zac stepped up in a big way and COOKED! They cooked everything they could get their hands on...lol. We provided the heat if you had brought you own food.....and the people brought it! But having said that, Jerry’s (Boss Hog) wife Holly, brings me brownies every year....in fact, every time they stop by to visit. I love brownies lol. Paul's (Pflaming) wife Darlene is a saint....he really is a lucky man. He could lose every vehicle he's got to a fire, and he'd still be a lucky man. Just my opinion of course. The guys who photographed everything…Mark ( Mark Haymond ), and Bob Koch ( Bob_Koch ) are pros…..I/we can’t thank you enough, seriously! And of course the event winners: 01. Best of Show ------------------------ Michele (Tom Smith aka tcsmithh ) 02. Best L-6 Engine--------------------- John Tischler 03. Best Modified Engine--------------- Christyann 04. Best Wood/ Flat or Utility Bed----- George from Oregon 05. Best Truck Bumper------------------- Bob from Modesto 06. Best Non-Mopar Vehicle------------- Bob G. 07. Best In-Progress Truck--------------- Fred B. 08. Best Body Damage-------------------- Paul Flaming 09. Longest Distance Traveled------------ Davin 10. Longest Distance Truck--------------- Mark Haymond 11. The Tough Trucker Award - ---------- George from Oregon 12. Wish You Were Here Award*--------- Mark F. and Davin   I had a blast giving ATV rides to the kids, showing off Sakura my Red-Tailed Hawk, making new friends and spending time with my old ones. Its sad to see it all end so soon. it’s the best time of the year. And to all who tried to make it.....we got your back! We'll see you next year! Thank you everybody!!! Thank you very much......   48Dodger

  11. #1 is there a "cool off" period I should wait before asking on a topic for myself? or should I start a new thread? If there's an on going thread related to the issue you need help with feel free to join in. Your situation may help find the solution for the other person too. (Think of it like Teamwork) #2 when is it ok to PM someone with a question when they are clearly knowledgeable about a topic? If you feel someone can help you directly send a PM. I've fielded many questions for members via PM. I am always willing to help out and I believe others are too #3 is it rude of me not to respond to everyone that has input on a topic I started? Good etiquette would have you reply to the thread once your solution has been discovered and the problem is solved. #4 is the "chat room" by invitation only? (I see people on it but not sure how it works) The chat room is open to everyone. Just go on in and join the conversation(s). I don't go there as I'm not a fan of chat rooms, but many have reported good results from using it. #5 what is the "warnings" on the person profile page? If you misbehave in some way the Administrators can give you Warnings. Too many warnings and you get banned, or at least get a Time Out. #6 when and why do you add a "friend" on the profile page? I don't see much benefit of this feature on this forum, but if you want to call someone your "Friend" you can add them to your list.
