I pulled off the 73 Camaro clip and mocked up a 97 S10 clip. Much happier with it. But being that I pulled it from a bare frame, I don't know the ride height of the S10. So I'm stuck until I figure it out....none of my neighbors drive an S10.
Anyone out there knows the ride height?

Looked at Newfishers motor. Loved it. Going out to clean up my 292 and make a parts list. Lots of nice stuff on here. Good way to kill 10.

I guess I'm in too. Last week I ordered new vent window assemblies and door glass, all with tinted glass and chrome frames.

Changed my front wheel bearings. Here's what I found inside -


Here's a look at how destroyed the outer bearing was -


New ones -



I feel much better now. It's a huge relief to have that job done. It was super easy too.
