    They worked slick and will allow any change overs in the future to go more easily.

    Also after seeing what they want for new arm rests ,I squandered 8$ on a can of vinyl paint.

    Hi,I've spent the entire morning and half of the afternoon trying to figure out the system to post pics on this site! I'm not too confuser literate but I'm really having trouble with it. I have an A-100 prostreet pick up and an L-600 truck with a rollback bed. (please see Gathering of the earlies 2008 for some pics) Thanks for the great site! Go U.S.A. hockey!!!

    fireA100....You first need to go and register at www.photobucket.com and get an account. Don't worry, it doesn't cost anything. Once registered you can now upload photos into your account. Once uploaded there will be four selections under the photo you uploaded. Select the bottom with the "IMG code" and "Copy" that link. Come back to where you want to place the image and simply "Paste" the link. Voila...that is all it takes! Smile

    I just bought my very own MIG welder! It's a Millermatic 211. It's pretty small so it doesn't take up too much room in the garage. It has an Auto-Set mode where you just set the metal thickness and it figures out the best wire feed rate. And you can easily switch the plug on the power cord for 110V or 220V!

    Now, what needs welding...?

    OK, just finished a huge day...after spending all yesterday scrubbing, scraping and wiping years of grime and dirt off the underbelly, we today applied urethane seam sealer, etch and stone chip sealer to the entire underbody. looks magic now. Also fitted the recently scrubbed and re-painted front and rear ends. Cool, back on wheels again Very Happy

    Finally was able to get mine out on some dry blackktop yesturday. Ran into a couple things with the trans , First, it was leaking fluid "at" the yoke. The softplug on the yoke had a small hole in and was ejecting fluid onto the U joint.

    some silicone fixed that, for now at least. My transmission wouldn't shift, okay, talked to a friend of mine who rebuilds them for a living. check the governor he says, popped the cover off, guess what ,, it wasnt even there. the part had been robbed at some time for another tranny and my source had forgotten,,lol,, fortunately my other bud had one laying around, so now it shifts ! Lights up the tires way easy!

    Fishing this morning and started cutting up the parts van this afternoon. Gatorhawk stopped by tonight and picked up the spare Auto steering columns and 2 wing window assy's. Figured out the headlight assy's from the 2nd Gen will fit in my 66.
