She kept me out of jail though.

Usually the last part is the other way around. Glad to hear you never went back.

I wish I had found these before the scrapper did.

So sad......

**special-K** · 04-25-2022, 12:30 PM

WAIT!! What about that passenger door??

I remember going to the junkyard, eh, "Automotive Dismantler", in the early '70s and seeing a pristine '63 or '64 Nova convertible waiting for the crusher. Heartbreaking, to say the least. And he wasn't parting with it. I suspect that it was going out as "#1 tin", and may not have had a clear title. I've seen that happen.

I gave the Longhorn her semi annual bath today.

Longhorn is looking good. Any upcoming trips planned?

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-27-2022, 06:16 AM

Very nice Larry! I wish my green and white one was as clean as yours!

**special-K** · 04-27-2022, 08:49 AM

Keeping them clean lets them know you care. Looks great!

That is nice. The good-sized wheels and tires keep it in proportion, even though it's an extra-long long-bed.

**davischevy** · 05-17-2022, 12:57 PM

This was at the Pate swap meet.

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-18-2022, 06:03 AM

That's cool, it's amazing how different they made them.

**special-K** · 05-18-2022, 07:14 AM

Muy bueno! Camioneta Chevy Mexicana verde.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-26-2022, 06:22 AM

Eric, if it was a Cheyenne Estupendo would have you bought it?

**Palf70Step** · 05-26-2022, 07:12 AM

It's been a long time since I have seen one with a radio, but no heater option. Very nice looking truck.

I thought that was just another ashtray. A little one for cigarettes and a big one for cigars. But that probably only comes with the CEE option package. Cartel Edicion Especiale.

Old trucks tend to herd together . Came out of the store and this International was parked next to me

**davischevy** · 05-31-2022, 10:57 PM

I don't get all excited about LS swaps. This one belongs to a friend of mine. 6.2, 4L80E. It runs 12.90's and very streetable.

Digging this up from a few months back, but in the event you haven't fixed it...I've had great luck through the years with a mig welder, welding to the end of a broken off bolt.

Keep dabbing weld until its proud enough to contact a washer. Weld the washer to the little tower of weld you built on the bolt, then weld a nut to the washer.

It's guaranteed to break off before you've extracted the bolt, but after numerous attempts, it'll start to move. I'd expect a starter bolt to be a simpler one if not really far up in. It's clean and rust-free, it's large diameter.

I've done this dozens of times, mostly on smaller stuff like LS-engine exhaust manifold bolts. Take your time, keep repeating and eventually you'll extract it.
