  1. Yea I watch those. Some of them remind me of the purse on the choke lever story you told.
  2. The stepside is the most recently reissued after the two fleetside versions. Has it really been a few years? It seems like not too long ago I got mine from Hobby Lobby.
  3. The side mirrors are separate pieces, so is the front roll pan. No stock bumpers included. Funny thing, it's very similar and at the same time very different from the wrecker truck. Like they copied it and made modifications or there might be a separate insert for it.
  4. I like the Revell '76, even though it's inaccurate. My older Hot Rod version had a lot less flash than the newer release I have, hopefully they do something about that. I don't remember any problems with the front axle, mine's still supporting the truck. It does have those two piece tires though, but it has a bench seat.
  5. Marlboro is my dog with no legs. I take him out for a drag.
  6. I can't wait to see more of that Bonneville.
  7. I don't see your point. If they said some day we'd all carry computers in our pocket they would be right also. When was a map to the destination required?
  8. Add another item to the list of things I purchase at the black market.
  9. Cool thread. And today happens to be my birthday.
  10. I used to like looking for Teslas, sort of like slug bug without the slug. Now it's like looking for pickups, they’re all over.
  11. The one in the tank is a strainer not a filter. It only keeps the larger particles from getting to the filter.
  12. If your Chevy pickup is carbureted then it will have a mechanical fuel pump on the engine, if it's fuel injected it will have a pump in the tank. From the factory.
  13. I get most of my parts from AutoZone. Mostly because it's easy to do warranty exchanges. My vehicles are warrantied by AutoZone. I don't have to buy parts too often anymore, I've replaced most of them already. I also have a lot of spare used parts. I blew the head gaskets on my truck and cracked a head two weeks ago, ruined the flywheel starting the engine with water in the cylinders. I didn't have to buy a head or flywheel. My other truck the radiator failed internally and put water in the transmission, that is warrantied from Advance and it won't be here until Monday.
  14. Sounds like you have a type.
  15. This is very cool, but no shock would be mounted to the backing plates.
  16. Lots of pickup trucks had a gas tank right behind the seat and without modern safety design. This looks much safer than those. Looks cool so far.
  17. I would buy it because it's a van, but would prefer something closer to stock. The Ford Econoline at least is closer to stock than those.
  18. That's cool. I want one to build my mothers old 'Vette.
  19. Round2 is handling this one.
  20. I would be interested in the fuel injected version to build my 87. With a 5 speed.
  21. When I delete a quote it deletes the text, then I have to click outside the quote box again to delete the box too.
  22. My wife went hunting for the ones she didn't find and gave me these when I woke up.
  23. My wife went all out. And this from my brother.
