    Where to get head gaskets, WMO, and 11.00x20 in WA?

    Hey folks! I am planning a big trip soon and need some things before the trip. Anyone know where in WA I can find these items at a good price? For the head gasket, I am looking for the newest/best style. I don't know which is which or how to identify the 'good' ones. I've got oil going down...

    High pitch whine above 40mph...

    Tex, I agree completely. I dont think its wheel bearings, far too noisy and the wrong kind of noise. And as you have wrote, it stops when my foot is off the throttle. Jimma, Thanks! I will get a few gallons today and tackle the diffs. This seems like a common problem. I wonder if M35Tom...

    It's raining too much right now and I'm at A bar. Maybe tomorrow.... I got a 24v blower in it and did some more things to it in the past couple of days. Its supposed to rain tomorrow, so maybe Sunday I'll have a clear enough day to take some pics.

    Yes, I've already painted it black, about to get some seats if the salvage yard is open still. Going to convert to 12v, get a hard top, make a quad cab, restore the bed, and power steering. And if I have any money left, big ole 395 on hemmit wheels.

    Hey guys, tried loading the videos, but can't do it from my phone and my Internet won't be installed for a few days. I'll do my best to get pics up. And to clarify, I had brakes, they just aren't what I'm used to. I meant 12v blower, not wipers. The blower went up in smoke last night. But...
