I just got the email files from Chas. I've started to look them over and I think they'll be very useful. Thanks very much Chaz

I'm in need of a Keystone wheel cap to replace a lost one. Looks the same as full size but smaller than the standard. It is approximately 2 3/4 inch in diameter.

This second shot is of my tow of a 72 Sat Sebring just after I got to Minn from AZ. I find towing this way is more stable than a tow dolly and easier to back up if necessary.

Go ahead and tow it. The first shot is from 2007 of my friend half way between AZ and Minn with a Duster towing a Dart Sport.

I had a set of Cragar SS 16 X 8s on the front of a 71 Duster with the 73up discs. Picture attached I believe the backspace was 4.5". That would put the outer bead at the same distance out as a 7" with 3.5"bs. The difference I see is the Duster wheelwell flares out a bit where the Dart doesn't...

3 horse Briggs and Strat on a tube frame go cart, then graduated to the H and M International/Farmall farm tractors. The first car was a Fred Flinstone farm car. A 54 Ford fourdoor 6cyl three on tree with OD. There was a piece of tin barn siding under the d/s floormat to keep your feet from...

Fishy is right. try to get all the wiring connectors with the trans. The kit I used had 3 electrical switches. Only the one that connected to engine vacuum had its own connecter.

Happy Birthday!!:icescrea:

Yeah, I realized it right as I clicked the wrong button. Too fast fingers with a mind of their own, and not enough coffee this am.:)

Here are some shots of the rear window pinchweld area on a 71 Swinger.

res1vw21 is right on the money. Also.. due to different materials, different density, I would expect them to expand and contract at different rates during temperature changes. again perhaps cracking at the union.

I did the same on a 72 Swinger. But I reused the old seal. I cleaned the pinchweld due to rust and painted it. I installed the same window and gasket I took out and it was loose. WTF! Turns out there was foam seal (filler) that I had removed from the pinchweld during clean up. I got a thin...
