I wouldn't worry about the gap too much, the sides of the engine compartment are fold-down panels, so it's not going to be a razor tight fit when they're up, so a gap there isn't indicitive of damage or misfit. The fenders aren't cut short, it's just that the bumper being reverse-mounted and...

Well, the most we ever had in ours that was scale-verified was 21000 and change, good job! :lol:

Not to sound too harsh, and I apologize if I do, but you NEED to make the time to go see any truck you plan on bidding on. Never ever EVER bid on or buy a GL truck without either inspecting it first, or sending someone knowledgable about them in your place to check it out. GL/DRMO will NOT be...

Fortunately, the rear bumper unit identifiers weren't painted over on our truck, the front bumper was heavily dented and scarred, sanding revealed the tan patch of paint the numbers were on, but the digits themselves were unreadable. The trucks hood number should still be on the dataplate in...

Flasher units are cheap and easy to replace if it turns out the one on there is bad

Antique plates don't have to be lit, at least not in PA, so we didn't bother

We got a NOS one still in it's box from Saturn Surplus a while back for our M105, but it's been awhile, dont' know if they still offer them.

Super clean truck! Reminds me of my old 78' , Road salt isn't kind to 70's era trucks and cars :( Rusted away years ago, but the motor was still good, that's what's currently powering project Aeropar.

YEah, mistype on my part, it was thinned w/ mineral spirits, just whatever off-the-shelf paint thinner from Lowe's was cheap and available The prep work was sanding down the old layers of paint untill all the jagged edges were gone, and any sloppy brush strokes worked off, then we put on red...

Home-made from a large sheet of OD canvas we got from some company in California, cut it down, folded over and stitched the seams, put the eyelets in it with a punch. Same with the trailer.

While on the subject of desulfating, apparently, some new battery chargers have a "desulfate" setting on them, the 2 6TLs in our deuce sulfated, and we were able to revive them by just putting the charger on the "desulfate" mode, and leaving it on, 24 hours per battery, they came right back to...

So far, he's the only guy I've found who makes guage stencils, and if I remember right, he offers them in both white and black. We'll have to call him soon to get our truck done up for this year's show, we wanted guage labels last year, but time ran out on us.

Gillespe makes that 383 CARC substitute, but from what I've heard from folks, the aerosol version of it tends to make a darker tint than if you get the spray gun kind and thin it. Here's how it came out on ours, though I can't tell if yours is lighter than this, or just looks that way because...

Heh, knew you guys would like it, we "inherreted" the Linc from a neighbor about 4 or 5 years ago. It started running rough on him, so he parked it. He wanted to fix it up, but had zero knowledge about cars, so it sat, and sat, and sat, and finaly his wife told him to get rid of it, so he...

We pulled a 77' Lincoln Town Car (all 4800+ lbs of it) out of the ruts it had sunken into, PLUS it had flat rear tires, without even hardly trying. Low range and throttle, and out it came :)

Amazing, educational, and at the same time, such a darn shame to see em' wasted :(

... and it didn't cost me a dime You'll know it's me when I come through your town, I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna drive everybody wild Cuz' I'll have the only one there is around... :)

Makes you wonder who really did pimp out that black Cali Deuce I've been to that site before, and I only wish I had the money for one of those, looks like I'll have to stick with looking for a cheap non-firing resin replica instead.

Nobody likes a show-off :)

That makes a lot more sense, in fact, that's the truth, because you just jogged my memory that there was an overhaul plate on the motor from the Mass. ANG from it's last rebuild in 91'
