Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Got my 67 back on the road this past weekend. Fixed the fuel pump, coolant leaks and bad grounds. Runs strong again.

Still waiting on a job I ran recently in the machine shop to finish up so I can order the Porterbuilt parts.

Interested in the next meet, wherever that may be.

Next Meet, anyone have any ideas on when and where?

Andy I brought one to Brothers last year. But depending on where the next meet is, maybe I will bring one to snack on.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

sounds like even more of a reason to have a meet lol

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Do we want a lunch or just snacks in a parking lot??

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Thats great Andy, let me know how it turns out. I know your going to check everything this time. No eatting Brooks Cronic Brownies during the engine install. LOL

Let me know if you need some help.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Man, been in SoCal for over a year now and don't think I have hit up this thread once.






Hi.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Welcome to the SoCal Post. Now that your here, feel free to ask questions, give advice or just post whatever. We try to have meets from time to time.

Changing the grille.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

What grille you gonna put on? Whats up with the stepide vdog

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I got a 69-70 grille from Randy towards the end of summer last year. The stepside, im trying to figure out which package I can get from CPP, that will have what I need for both trucks. I have 71-72 spindles for the black truck, but if I buy the frontend rebuild kit, with the tierods and ball joints, etc, then I still need the new lower spindles for the green truck, lowering block kit, and a cnotch for the green truck. Or if I get a spindle and disc kit, I can get six lug rotors and use them for the black one, and the spindles for the green one. and then still need the frontend rebuild kit for the black one. UGH!!!

I know, way too much thought going into this. LOL

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

any one on here know how to fix transmission ? my truck slams when i put it in to Reverse and i have a few shops check it out and they are trying to get me for at $1200 bucks to fix it ... and all 3 shops that i went tell me different things are wrong with it

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

That's how much a new racing tranny costs! You could even do an OD swap for that!

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Re : Tranny Slamming
 

Silly question but : what's the idle speed ? .

Anything above 700 RPM is going to cause a rough engaugement .

If you need it , I know a decent tranny shop in Glendale .

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

So...I've been looking around at weekly/monthly car meet-ups around So Cal and found there are a bunch of them all over the place. Anyone ever been to the Bob's Big Boy on Fridays in Burbank? It's supposed to be real good. There is a car meet somewhere every day/night of the week. You can go for donuts and coffee in the morning or for hamburgers and shakes at night. The C/10 guys need to get off of the couch and get out to the meet-ups. I'm game.

Oh...and by the way Vince, that bumper is still collecting dust and takin' up space in my garage.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I do those and many others on a regular bases. The best site to find stuff is SoCal car culture. Lots and lots going on all the time.

It's still tentative, Rob says he would love to host a GTG. I still need to confirm with Rob and work out any details. I'll post up here as soon as its confirmed.

Re: Toluca Lake Bobs Big Boy
 

Yes it's fun but also very crowded so sometimes you have to park a block away .

There's always something neat to see there , be it a resto , survivor (my fav) or a Hot Rod .

Motos too ! :metal: .

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

You know if it does not work out with Rob, then im all for going back to Legends if you guys want.
