Yeah, that old part doesn't need to go into that new electric vehicle, so just send it to me.

Gonna be cool.

LoL, please write your address on the back of a $100 dollar bill and send it to me

**8man** · 06-21-2023, 09:42 AM

If a check will work, it's in the mail....

**Gregski** · 06-21-2023, 09:37 AM

not your father's B&M

**Gregski** · 06-21-2023, 09:51 AM

So I'm thinkin' something like this, should be totally fine as long as I can grow my right arm another 6"

I really want to convert my C10 to an EV, as it fits my entire ethos, but this looks so incredibly daunting that there's just no way I could take it on. Very impressive MacGuyvering skills you have!

Really? That's awesome. Careful, I might take you up on that. Yes, Portland has amazing breweries and distilleries. There are roughly a dozen cool bars too just within a mile of my house. I love Portland.

**Gregski** · 06-21-2023, 09:58 AM

a quick shave, cause you can't weld rust or paint

and a bit of gentle persuasion

**8man** · 06-22-2023, 08:40 AM

Rolling right along now.

speaking of "rolling" you got a access to our web cam or something?

daughters Mazda 3 is in the garage getting a new TCM (pronounced: $728 tiny box) so I had to roll out Creepin' Death for all of the HOA to see and I've been wrenchin' on her in the driveway

**Gregski** · 06-21-2023, 10:00 AM

OK, that's a tad more better

**Gregski** · 06-21-2023, 10:02 AM

I'm a simple man, I see a hole, and I fill it !

**Gregski** · 06-21-2023, 10:11 AM

I should have taken this next pic from across the street

**Gregski** · 06-21-2023, 10:14 AM

so something like this with a reinforcement place in the back

**Gregski** · 06-21-2023, 10:17 AM

I just bombed it with black to get rid of the white, it will get a nice coat of textured rubbarized stuff to match the inside of the cab

**pjmoreland** · 06-21-2023, 10:38 AM

Nice work

Right ??? and I don't know how in the world WE're going to route the cable from driver side to passenger side?

**Gregski** · 06-22-2023, 08:38 AM

a trial fit

**Gregski** · 06-22-2023, 08:53 AM

well this is highway robbery and Ace is definitely not the place

1/4-20 nuts $.37 each

5/16-18 nuts $.55 each

**Gregski** · 06-22-2023, 08:56 AM

maybe some of youz can learn me something, my '74 had welded nuts under the floor for the trans tunnel to bolt down to, this '71 doesn't

does this mean they felled off or did they not do that on the 67-72s ?

please and thank you

**Gregski** · 06-22-2023, 08:58 AM

nothing like drilling new holes in the floor you spent days filling holes in

cornerstone · 06-22-2023, 12:18 PM

I think the 4 WD or big block trucks had the bolt in "high hump" transmission cover whereas your run of the mill low hump trans tunnel (ie: floor) came on the 2 WD trucks. I had to install a high hump tunnel and just used a rivnut tool so I can bolt it down. I love those things.
