Thanks guys, I was surprised they turned out as well as they did

**72ironmike** · 02-22-2013, 10:01 PM

Emblems came out looking good Shawn !

shawno72 · 02-22-2013, 10:23 PM

Thanks Mike, I have been trying to find a nice non pitted set for over a year. Then last month for my birthday my wife bough me a set of repops then you listed these and I'm glad I was at the right place at the right time. Just can't beat the quality of the the originals and you would never know until you compare them to some repops.

What year vehicle did the new tranny come in Shawn? Any major troubles getting it to work?

Not sure the exact vehicle but it was out of 87-92 Chevy or gmc truck. It's what they call a "K" case trans which is heavier duty than some. Pretty straightforward swap. Just had to shorten the driveline and get the tv cable set right. I can tell you it is a world of difference and soooo much fun to drive now.

The details are why makes it fun, plus its the details that set these trucks apart. Its also the cheaper part of the build, for me

That's just one more reason to have a patina truck

You might say I'm so efficient that I don't even let overspray go to waste

Well my 40+ year old speedo cable took a dump this morning on the way to work. Luckily I was able to order one from Autozone for 10.99. Can't beat that price. Pics to follow soon

shawno72 · 02-23-2013, 04:01 PM

I didn't take any pics but the new speedo cable is in and its amazing at how much quiter the new cable is. Didn't even realize the old one was making that much noise

NewType72 · 02-25-2013, 04:26 AM

Original is deft better what I've had issues with so far are that my year old repop marker light bezels keep popping off when I have true 40+ year old ones still holding strong

Ahh... I have seen that one when I was out for a putt on my bike, I belive it is on the north end of Ryer Isl. The only ways on or off of there is swimming, boat or ferry

Heavy Evy · 02-25-2013, 02:18 PM

Sweet! You got a matching spare now.

hatred · 02-26-2013, 04:44 PM

I need to start tinkering on mine more. Maybe this will inspire me.
