Do you also have 1:1 project cars?
Tabbysdaddy replied to ctruss53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The first junkyard transmission I got for the van was no good. They found me a replacement yesterday and I put it in today. It seems fine, shifting a little weird but it's low on fluid because I ran out. The S10 is off the road, I put the tag on my yard Ranger. I think I'm going to try my first transmission rebuild with it, or at least my first disassembling of a transmission and then head scratching. -

I figured it out fairly quick, but went through a couple definitely nots first. -
They're in the 57 also.

I agree, country would be enough for what some look for while hopefully being secure enough.

Yes, when I see odd language or different spellings I check to see where they're from. It was handy.

Unless there's some new tax I missed then I'm still entitled to free air to breathe.

That's what I did with it when I got it, I got it running and drove it around the yard a couple of times. All the electrical was shorting out, I ran my own wires to a toggle, a momentary switch and a light bulb for the alternator. If someone wanted the car I'm sure it would be pretty much for the engine and transmission. I even have a couple 200-4Rs for it, I'm somewhat of a transmission collector. I guess the S10 is definitely project status now, I put the tag, insurance and even the back tires on a different truck. It looks very pitiful sitting in the back yard. -
I didn't say you can't complain, go for it. I'm sure you wouldn't mind that ad revenue in your pocket though.

They sell magazines, which has been a dying industry for many years. I don't think they can afford to keep throwing money at something that doesn't turn some kind of profit.

I just had to open my big mouth. The transmission went out in my wife's S10 today, both of her trucks are down. I need to get the transmission in the van so she has something to drive. -
They're essentially identical from 87-95. Maybe 96 also but I don't remember. There was some minor difference I can't remember for the 86. While I'm quite certain the engine block you make will be awesome, the rest are the important parts that at least I am looking for. It doesn't make any sense to me to buy a beautiful engine block and then cover it with parts that don't come close to it in detail.

What did you see on the road today?

It looks like it's missing some glass. -

I've come to the realization that my beloved 31 year old van might be my project. Then again my wife's truck is the same age. Good thing my work truck is only 30 years old. -
Because AMT kits don't come with every type of tire that they offer in a parts pack. I think you missed my point, which is why I used the Chevy/Ford comparison. My question was mostly rhetorical anyways, I wasn't attacking you. I think it's a neat parts pack but it doesn't make sense to me for Revell to make a parts pack that isn't as useful on a Revell kit. Companies usually make things that promote sales of their own other products, not competing companies products.
