sick69 · 01-14-2007, 11:35 PM

I've had hei's run great anywhere between 8 and 12 degrees just depends on the engine

also i've been told there is a difference for altitude but that could be just a rumor.

I always start at 8 and work from there

i could use a tail light wiring harness. skip white on ebay sells complete hei's for less then $60

msgross · 01-15-2007, 05:12 PM

wish I was in CA (did I just say that?)

I could use a few cab patch panels (ones that aren't repop'd yet...my luck)

hotrodhomi · 01-15-2007, 05:33 PM

Kevin,
I would like to pick up the lower trim the the heater control. My heater control just broke.
What kind of parts do you need?

I will check it out and let you know.

I checked it out and teh tail light wiring was missing on the pass side and the drivers side has had about 6 trailer splices wired in. It will be going in the trash.

Are you going to be around tomorrow after 4:30? I can stop by after work on my way home.

Rokcrln · 01-15-2007, 05:57 PM

A few more things for now.

#18 Jack hold downs. Nuff said!

#19 67-68 E-brake handle. Needs cleaning and lube.

Will these fit in a Flat rate box? If so let me know and I'll pay the $8.10

(PS - Flate rate boxes are free if you sign up on the USPS website, they
will deliver them to your door in groups of 25, seriously, can't beat that)

ortegamotor · 01-16-2007, 11:04 AM

hey Kevin, i am looking for some trailling arms for my Balzer 2wd conversion. are they still avalible, and what kind of condition are they in?what can i trade you for them, or will you except a donation? thanks for your time Tony

ortegamotor · 01-16-2007, 11:07 AM

hey Kevin, i just remebered i have a 1969 short bed frame that was cleaned and coated in POR15 sitting out behind my garage.let me know. Tony

msgross · 01-15-2007, 07:33 PM

Here is the link to my WTB thread, it has detailed pics of my issues.... I just found that my floor has holes on the driver side below the clutch and above the seam too... that soundproofing seems to be hell on the floors... where the soundproofing survived is the only area that rusted through... New York truck so I can't complain I guess...thanks..

What parts do you need in trade for the L&R long bedsides and can you take pics of the tail light section???

basketcase · 01-15-2007, 10:43 PM

Great project. I'm still finding things in boxes that I got with my basket case. My engine was supposed to be good too but I ended up building a new one. Giving away not needed old parts for free may just start a trend around here. I know I'll have a bunch when I'm done.

DOH!!! I'm always spoiling the suprises! Let's wait and see if someone needs them before we chop them up. Thanks for keeping me in mind.

msgross · 01-15-2007, 10:54 PM

do you think it might be easier if I just weld some flat panels into those spots?

yep, I just wanna keep the mud out for now! Mine is big enough for an escape hatch! Good luck on the build.

skchevota · 01-16-2007, 12:07 AM

If you decide to ship, I could use the center cross member( where the trailing arms attach). Also, you mention that you are shortening your longbed. Are you going to shorten the bedsides as well or just the floor? I sure would like to see how you would shorten the sides, so I could see the right way to do it before I cut mine. It would fit in with the budget theam as well. Great thread.

68C15 · 01-16-2007, 08:58 AM

I could use 10" of frame length under the cab, both sides. I have some plans for the future.

68shortfleet · 01-16-2007, 12:15 PM

I could use the front 8" or so of the frame. The little section in front of the core support mount. A PO cut mine to install a homemade rollpan. Happy to pay shipping if you change your mind and decide to ship. Ship them with the slider window to jimmy dean? we are about 20 miles apart.

Thanks
Jason

Rokcrln · 01-16-2007, 08:08 PM

Dam summit is fast less then 24hrs from order to my front portch

And thanks to those who posted or sent PM's for cheaper HEI's but $100 for a new better than stock HEI complete was worth it to me. o guys if you are on a nickle and dime budget know you can find them for about $60 +- for a rebuilt from other places. For me piece of mind knowing it is all new is a good thing.

I almost for got $83 to the wonderfull state of Cali. for sales tax and reg.

Bob Moore · 01-16-2007, 09:24 PM

If the rear crossmember is nice I can have my brother pick it up. He goes between Big Bar and Martinez regularly. Mine look like it was used to jack up a fully loaded camper special but it is a shortbed.

Let me know so I can let him know - thanks - Bob
