to the best of my knowledge the last 2 SR-71's were retired by NASA in 1999.
The museum in Richmond, Va has one on display. they also have the power cart used to star the engines on the ground. FYI It's 2 chevy 454's tied end to end and a 90deg drive shaft that goes up into the aircraft.
If a welder doesn't charge you more than $400 to build a towbar I wouldn't trust it. just remember than when that 13,000 lb truck comes loose behind you and wipes out a minivan full of kids it's all on YOU!!!
very good. thank you so much. I was reading the 24p-1 tonight and found both tubes on the same page with separate pics and part numbers but it didn't list wat tube was to go with what truck.
looks like I have the right one according to your information.
I went so far as to google image...
you got that right and with a lot of ppl on here just barely able to afford the trucks that are coming out I seriously doubt that they are going to be able to afford lawyers that can get them out of any trouble that they will be getting into.

deuce trans disaster...(pics)
I blew this tranny some years ago but just today got around to opening it up.
I thought I'd post up some pics of the carnage for you guys and also add a word of caution for all of you running the lockout hubs on your tandem rears.
All this IMO was caused by...
I'm always fixing the axle seals in my 5T bc I put a lot of miles on it. I just don't post about it bc it's the same exact process as the deuce and I don't feel it need to blab about it.
