here is a article DD did about /6 blocks.
http://www.slantsix.org/articles/dutra-blocks/slant-blocks.htm
i found it very informative about the blocks. i have some sources on some slants but no numbers off the blocks yet. if i were you i would weigh them and go with the lighter of the two.
i guess that depends, i found a local Criags ad for a /6+trans for $450 obo. TBH i would start at $200, taking into account it may need a rebuild. i would pay more if is the aluminum version of the A727, but that is just me.
hmm not getting forum updates, of all the tail-light stuff i found on ebay. the repo lens were not in the list, i got used ones with the trim piece. thanks for the links, will check them out.
any chance you could pull the ignition from the column, as well as the door locks? do you have the key for it? how much for shipping to 78613 for that if you might be able to figure it out. as well as the grill if still for sale, right now just a feeler.
