Argh! Some buddy huh? Seriously though...thank you for catching that. Well, next up, tear it down and do it right.

Thank you Acorn for that! Great spot and more than that, thank you for sending this out. I think I'll start a thread for my first time build.

Here is what I did this past week. Over the course of the past month, I built a custom console. Installed it just last week. I also change the steering wheel from a 1964 Impala wheel to a Grant Steering wheel.

Actually all last week I pulled the front clip to access the heater box, got a leaky core, and yanked the engine trans to correct a vibration I've been fighting for a year. The flex plate has a wobble and the rear of the crank is suspect since I've tried three plates. So the engine is getting a new crank and bearings. The engine is a GM crate and I'm going to call and complain but I'm thinking my words will fall on deaf ears since the engine's been in service for that long.

I swear that the one in the back of my truck isn't a split rim, just based upon the location of the valve stem. But now you've got me wondering. I'll double check that the next time I go outside.

[mikecaddy500]

My spare is one. The rest are off a dodge van. Most everybody wants to get rid of them.

[NoStopN]

I would want to be one of those people. Split rims may be period correct, but the danger isn't worth it to me.

[stevenfromtexas]

got a new fuel sending unit put in last night. nearly started crying in the fetal position in the corner of my garage trying to get my needle correct on the fuel gauge. finally figured out to pull the needle off and just move it to the correct "empty" position. all is good......

[Syclone3Mt]

[69BUCKET]
