Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Louder stereo Mac. I've found it solves most noises, hums, rattles, etc.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Took here down by the beach tonight - runs great - much higher top end with the brakes not binding. Still no charging - so it's on the trickle charger presently. Even with the two-barrel, she gets up and scoots.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Thanks Mac. Curious though why you hate that bumper? I was actually thinking about putting it on my truck, well the one that has the built in backup lights in it. The only problem is LMC only lists it for '67-'72.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Well, actually - it's my driving that makes the bumper a problem.
Backing up - I've already run into the parking garage wall and a couple of short parking lot poles. When I do this, the bumper scrunches up and hits the edge of the bed, which the previous owner had Bondo'd on the corners and the bumper cuts right through the paint and filler. Come to think of it - I'd better stick with it for a while, because you can imagine what the back of my truck would look like if it just had a roll-pan. (Better put a camera back there with the roll-pan installation.) Mac.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
LMAO....too funny.
Wonder if you could do me a huge favor and take a few closeup pictures of it so I can possibly match it up with the one I want to order from LMC. I called them but they have no tech support what so ever and the lady on the phone couldnt tell me anything about its size etc. Thanks Mac!

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
It's okay once I get going, but I don't have the guts yet to take the memory stick to Wal-Mart and plug it into the Kodak print maker.
Afraid I'll launch nuclear tipped missiles towards China, or something. (Mr. Tech strikes again)

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
btw does it look like it hooks up with the standard brackets or is it a fab job?
Dig the classic license plate!

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Standard - all the way, same same - long time.
On the plate - I'm going to redo the yellow with a roller next time, because masking sucks and my hand isn't steady enough to freehand with a brush.

Well - I have a shaky hand and I like it that way, but that's another story.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
Thanks again Mac! Did those plates come with your truck or did you get them off ebay?
