  1. I've done it. But it's in my project truck and it runs but I have 0 road miles with it.
  2. 4.1 was standard with 3.73 and 4.78 optional for WC and WD-15(3/4T)
  3. You're not that late to the party my truck still doesn't have functional wipers I did order a 6v electric but it won't be here until Thursday
  4. Got you beat this year. Anniversary is today so we are back to back!
  5. I'm planning to grab one of these for my next wiring project. Cheaper on rock auto fyi Dorman 94095 Uninsulated Connectors Builders Series Assortment https://a.co/d/e6sbfUJ
  6. Dad told me he had his 51 wired that way for a while. During resto he put it back though
  7. Didn't your original one have a turn indicator?
  8. If you're lucky enough and it's just the bushings the jeep ones work and are way cheaper. I'm running jeep shackles in the front of mine but they are slightly shorter.
  9. Mopar used I for ones.
  10. Seeing this way late but it looks good
  11. Not only were they colored to match the diagram they had black stripes to indicate the wire gauge. If you find some of the harness where tape has protected it you might see what it originally looked like.
  12. Only about an hour from me. I've got just to wander the vintage iron
  13. You can bring me some parts and offset the cost ... I'll meet you at French lake:)
  14. I've seen the plastic trick before using big black lawn/trash bags.
  15. Only been to one show around here with that silly rule. Show was on public streets but somehow the guys with the expensive classics couldn't be trusted not to mow down people if they wanted to leave. I was quite annoyed with them as we had smaller children and wanted to participate but still put them to bed. I attend a few pay shows but mostly focus on the come and go as you please cruises
  16. Looks like a great truck. Welcome to the club ?
  17. I learned the ways of the torque tube when Dad bought a 50 Chevy fastback. We towed it home on a 2wheel dolly as we did with most of our projects. Shortly after we left the trans started howling. I asked why we didn't pull over and pull the driveshaft and got a verbal lesson on how the Chevy was different (and inferior) to the Mopars I was used to. We had to listen to that thing howl all the way across town.
  18. It's certainly possible to DIY. I did my 48 using the shop manual and the old harness as guides. I used modern wire and upped all the 16 to 14. Matched the other gauges as listed. Another point here the shop manual doesn't list the gauges on the P15 wiring but the book I have covers 46-54 so I just used the later models for gauge reference
  19. Few years back when they reintroduced real sugar Mt dew the hillbilly guy was on the cans
  20. Pretty sure MT dew is older than that.
  21. Just saw on Facebook scarebird has been purchased and is starting up operations again
  22. The group that runs ours has an aluminum track that breaks down into small sections. They setup at our location and then handle all the timing of the cars.
  23. If you want an interesting read check out boulevard photographic. Talks about all the tricks they did to make the cars look good in the pre Photoshop film age
  24. I don't believe they ever stopped making records but it was certainly diminished for a while.
  25. I made a similar one out of steel from an old bed frame
