    I like the bumper stickers she wore in '84!

    Way to go, awesome find! One more back in action!

    Are all of Hank's radios of the same knob and button configuration? I'm sure you don't want to modify the dash panel at this point...

    MOPAR ALLEY is show in the bay area, coming up soon. June 14. I plan on being there!

    Why go to Pomona looking for Dodge parts when members here have all the parts we need, plus others on ebay. It's a lot of hot asphalt to traverse amidst a sea of homies, gangstas (lokes and OG's), and thugs....haha! During last time at Pomona, I left empty handed, but a "run-in" led to the eventual acquisition of my fuselage c-body (the only C-body there that time...an equal sad state of affairs). So Pomona has been good to me.

    Barry: Your sill filler panel is also shown mounted inside-out and down about 1" from where it should be. The top should be above the pitted area. Perhaps someone moved it down because the original holes have rusted out? The only problem with this design is it allows dirt to collect in the "sandwiched" assembly of rubber and sheet metal, then when it all gets wet, and stays wet, you see what happens.

    Before I read the rest of the post, I wondered for a second if the paint started to peel off on the way home!

    With the exception of the Ford truck, satellite TV dishes, and the two story house in the background of photo #3, this photo looks like it could have been taken in the early 50's! nice!

    That's really cool. A sea of A, B, and C bodies! The black car on the closest train at the bottom is a Newport 4dr HT. Just to the right looks like a couple Dusters, then a Monaco or Polara wagon (w/ wood grain siding). Then a dark green Dart. Then a couple of coronets, and another Dart. Doesn't look like any hub caps have been installed yet....

    That's what had to be done on my "fusie" Chrysler with 440 / thermoquad carb. The new gas just wouldn't allow the engine to be tuned 100%. It had a lean miss. So larger main jets helped it out. I wouldn't say the new gas is the culprit of Merle's experience, however it sure as hell didn't help! It also supposedly attacks lead solder (like on your floats)... It's really too bad we have no choice in the fuel we have to buy. Especially considering the taxes imposed on it.

    For a stock front end in new or good condition, there are really no adjustments needed other than toe-in/out. If you have a bent axle, than that's another story. The shop manual has all the specs. To adjust toe, simply get a helper and a steel tape. Measure to the tire tread, front band back, aligned with the spindle. The center link can also be moved left or right by screwing in or out at each tie rod, separately, to center the steering. In theory, though, if you start threading the center link on both tie rods at the same time it should be pretty close.

    On Hwy 84 just east of Hwy 1, CA Coast, between Pescadero and Half Moon Bay. This is a google street shot, but I have seen this first hand.The google images got better before I could go back to take a pic myself!

    Merle - what about advance? Is the Distributor advancing properly (vacuum and weights).

    Nice pics, thanks for sharing. I see you made it to Lodi Brewing. And hail on the ground along Victor road! was that Sunday? Quite a stash o' parts Dave has up there too....!

    Some pics from the weekend...(in order) Sure liked that '56 Dodge Wagon. Looks like all it needs is a tail light, oil change, and some fresh gas! Oh and a new afghan for the front seat! The last photo of the truck was taken around 1 pm on Easter Sunday.

    I sure was a moving moment when we all were able to cheer for George over the phone, AND to hear it put a smile on his face. So sad, but thank you for letting us know. My In-laws and wife remember meeting him at the 2014 BBQ and they too are sad to hear the news. RIP George. I'm sure our trucks will outlive us all!

    Didn't know you previously used the cab for target practice... At least the holes are all in relatively flat areas....

    How many 610-T's does Hank have for sale?
  20. John-T-53
    I definitely saw a handful of them on the road and parked on the street when I lived in OC for three years. Including one panel. Also saw a handful in Palm Springs for sale at the auction. Up here in the bay, I've only seen one or two in 5 years. There's one parked in San Mateo on Hilltop Road near El Camino (about 1.5 miles from me): https://www.google.com/maps/place/17+Hilltop+Rd,+San+Mateo,+CA+94402/@37.5702919,-122.3371725,56m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x808f9de1a521a367:0xd4fedf78f8a8920f?hl=en Also saw one parked in Brentwood (not OJ's neighborhood).

    link?

    I was thinking more along the lines of the bimmer/benz/audi crowd. Out here in CA, we are engulfed in a sea of foreign cars, so a Chevy is a welcome sight!

    I didn't know Armadillos were in peach tree country?
  24. John-T-53
    Old trucks = good people. NOW....I wonder what vehicle would be chosen to represent a place called "d-bag brewing co."?

    Great shots! Both mountain ranges are lookin' pretty dry for March!
