Did you choose the blue theme. I had a lot of trouble when I did.

daverod · 10-13-2009, 11:07 PM

When I go to post there is no manage attachments?

bubba327 · 10-13-2009, 11:15 PM

Josh has a thread going in site announcements about the lack of attachments due to issues of new server

daverod · 10-13-2009, 11:16 PM

Who would I talk to to get my manage attachments back? At the bottom by posting rules it says I may not post attachments?

Who is the administrator?

**Captainfab** · 10-14-2009, 12:54 AM

That is correct. The control arm bushings on the C10's thru '72 were steel with a grease zerk. The C20's & C30's continued to use the steel bushings thru '87.

Does yours have grease zerks in the ends??? if so, it is probably is 71/72,

Man that sucks.....sorry to hear that

Sorry about your dog, Dave. Words come hard for me about cancer right now, Too many of my friends are losing the battle. Good Friends and dogs are hard to come by ---Bubba

ol Curt · 10-14-2009, 08:11 PM

Dave,
Coming from a guy with his share of dogs around him you know I feel for you. They become family really quick and are all forgiving. Sorry to hear about this.

padresag · 10-14-2009, 08:23 PM

sorry to hear about your dog. it is never good when your buddies get in trouble

Byronic · 10-14-2009, 08:33 PM

Sorry about your dog Daverod. I lost mine at 16 this year. My prayers are with you.

jgh64pkup · 10-14-2009, 08:41 PM

man that sucks about your dog
ive had mine for five years i would hate to lose her

ruffrida2005 · 10-14-2009, 09:16 PM

Man sorry to hear you ab out your dog. I lost mine when I was on my second deployment to Iraq. she was17. It sucked.

ol Curt · 10-14-2009, 09:22 PM

ruffrida, I have two things to say then....sorry about your dog and thanks for your service!

ruffrida2005 · 10-14-2009, 09:24 PM

The service isn't a problem, but it sucked to loose my dog.

daverod · 10-14-2009, 10:07 PM

Thanks guys. It going to be hard to put him down. He's been my best buddy. I think he likes old trucks more then I do.

On the lighter side I just got some corvette bezels on ebay for $30.

Now I can be just like Strodder.

See falling asleep helped save me some money. Now I can afford to buy two more. I'm going to order my dropped spindles but I don't know what I want. It seems there are two different types modular ones for like 300 and reg dropped ones for around 220. I'm thinking I'll get the spindle upgrade kit for 71-72 from cpp 269 you get the dropped spindle, upper ball joints and outter tie rod ends. I don't know if I need the tie rod ends if I go with rack and pinion? I wonder if I could swap out my upper/ lower shaft assembly for the new 73 type with the poly bushings?

Transmission guy still has'nt even looked at my 3 speed went in today it was still sittting where I put it. I'm going in tomorrow and kick him in the balls then take it somewhere else. Ok I might not kick him. Well if I could get away with it I would.

Denver64 · 10-14-2009, 10:36 PM

Sorry to hear about your dog. We had to give up one of ours bc she was viscously attacking our other dog. One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. Now back to the trucks. Stop the rust and they will outlive all of us!

tiggamonsta · 10-15-2009, 12:14 AM

Very sorry to hear about your dog. My wife and I have been doing Rottweiler rescue for about 10 years now. We lost two to bone cancer this year. The first was our first dog together. We caught it very early and lucked out. Her right front leg was amputated and we did Chemo. We got another year and a half. The second boy, it was about 2 months from when it was diagnosed to when we had to put him to sleep. He was not a canidate for the amputation.

Our friend's girl just had an amputation because of cancer, less then a month ago and lost her last week.

The one thing I can say is that bone cancer is very painful for the dog, and spreads quickly.

Euthanasia is never an easy decision. I have been through it too many times. I know what you are going through right now.

**Captainfab** · 10-15-2009, 12:42 AM

You can change over to the '73-'87 control arms and shafts no problem, they will bolt up to the '71 crossmember.
