If going to all the trouble of making new knobs why not finish them? Or make out of stainless?

Interesting, thanks. The ebay description says they're new knobs but they look used.... No mention of what material they are made from (if really new).... looks like raw steel.

Haha, I forgot where the rumors originated from but if you want to throw yourself under the bus, that's cool. 😹

Wow, thanks for clarifying. rumors have been circulating since the spring, with folks saying things like "you better hurry up and get yours, he's shutting down and selling off what's left!" Just shows how fake news spreads..... My OEM drum brakes work great, but I'd still like to get a disc kit one of these days just to have (before you shut down, haha).

Your local auto parts or hardware store should have one. It's just a regular pipe plug.... If you don't live near one of those, McMaster-Carr online.

Good to see another trans swap thread. Unless I've missed them, don't recall seeing any A833 swaps posted in detail here, from start to finish, other than the attempt by 55Fargo (if that's who I think it is - his screen name was always changing)....several years ago. It was portrayed as more of a spite swap (lol) so not sure if it was a success..... What are the gear ratios in this 833 and what overall ratios will they give you when combined with the rear end?

another one....

ok, ok, ok.... here are my pics .... haha. FEF and @RouteVanJoe's Van were drawing lots of traffic due to their uniqueness amongst the sea of 10.000 vehicles.

I'll bet that guy had some stories to tell....

Nice car. I tried to watch the video but made me dizzy with all the shaking. Looks like it has "port-a-walls" though..... ugh.

'61 Power Wagon on BaT... I know the owner, have seen this in person and it's perfect. Located in San Mateo, CA. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1961-dodge-power-wagon-3/

The 283 in my Chevy had a Montgomery Ward rebuild tag on it. It's still going on that rebuild, I just changed gaskets and painted it, about 30 years ago....

Looks good, bro!

My former '73 big yellow New Yorker was called "Nanner" because it was a banana boat....

We have an exact duplicate of this style of gas station right down the street from my office. Although, (sadly) it's now being used as a hipster coffee house. I guess that's better than it being razed... https://maps.app.goo.gl/k7gy9c6v21frU6CW7
