My shortbed has no balls - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I swapped-in a hot V8 and Muncie M22 and it has 4.11 gears.I thought this would make it bad-a55,but now I realize after reading other threads,it still has no balls!If I go with Vintage Air,they have such little balls compared to the big balls the factory used.I`m not impressed with the little balls,they don`t look right.I guess performance and not looks is the main concern when considering balls.But,you do see the balls right in front of you when driving(as well as the significant other).I wouldn`t want her making comments about the small size of my balls as we drive along.I`ve seen people use the bigger balls on the modern systems giving the original looks.I guess I`ve been looking at these balls for so many years they just look right.I`m looking for a set of factory balls,as well as the cups that hold them.I figured this would be a good time to ask since the other threads on balls have people digging through and looking at their balls.

If you need a set of balls I will give you some they are not perfect and have some age but they will work. Do you need the housing also free with shipping, I am sending out two other free packages tomarrow if you want them pm your address and I will send them, hurry up last of the free parts for a while.

Vintage Air has factory size balls too but hey don't have the adapter to attach them to the hose. That's what I got since I didn't want undersized balls either.

I`ll have to call WES for the big ball adapters.
