    Tanks off-loaded from ships on 10 tons from Vietnam

    Looks like that trailer has 4 axles? Times 4 huge tires each! If so do the forward axles turn? Rick

    SBC Water Pump!

    Water pump has to be part of a closed loop system to work and it is not designed to moved heavy fluids. The heater ports are only a small part of the overall system and will not work alone. Rick

    Corelokt's leftovers

    And that is why people get chased away from this site all the time. The old timers will just say "Grow thicker skin!" . The ones leaving will tell you there are other sites out there that treat people better. There is so much controversy over the classifieds on this site does anyone actually use...

    M1009 hood alingment

    If the gap is tighter at the rear than it is at the front or vice-versa then the fenders will need alignment also. You also have the height adjusters for the front of the hood. I have spent hours on show vehicles aligning front sheet metal because every piece is tied into another piece. The rear...
