I run my original California plates front and back. Also have the original blue and yellow plates on my 1974 Bronco. Completely legal here.

On your glass issue. You need to just make a template and have some laminate glass cut to fit. No need to try to use the original tempered glass. I work at a glass shop now and we do it all the time for guys building hot rods.

The one I got a little over a year ago fit perfectly. None of the issues you brought up weren't a problem. Slid right into place and the screw holes even lined up perfectly, which I thought would be a problem. I wonder if they had a new guy cutting them.

It looks like a 79-85 Cadillac Eldorado rear caliper. Common for rear disc brake conversions.

No antenna on my car. Like the smooth look and the radio doesn't work anyways.

Sure looks like it. The Dana 35 would have a more oval shaped cover.

Why cut up a second cross member? It's a simple modification. Do search there's some really good write ups on modifying your original.

Seen that a number of times while working at the tow company. Thieves are the scum of the earth.

Could be, but they also could be for a 4dr. How long are they?

I got a set of comp 7822-16 pushrods from summit today. I got all my adjustment back. My old pushrods must be really worn. The worst one, the cup was .025 deeper than the new ones. I wish I had a large set of calipers, so I could measure them.

The last set of pro forged that I bought were made in Taiwan. The quality was still 100% better the last set of moogs that I bought.

Any recommendations for a good set of pushrods? I haven't had to buy any in years.

Well, after pulling the rocker shafts and doing some measuring it looks like I need new pushrods. Number 1 cylinder exhaust pushrod is definitely worn more than the others. The cup end was .010 deeper than the intake push rod. The ball end looked more worn also. I couldn't get and accurate...

Were the heads milled .010 ths to clean them up? I don't remember what was done to the heads at that time. I know I did reuse the original pushrods. The motor has run fine, but recently the valve train has gotten a little noisier. Hence the decision to adjust the valves. It was late...

Yesterday I pulled the valve covers on my 66 273 to adjust the valves. Some of the adjusting screws are almost bottomed out on the rocker. Now, I built the motor 36 years ago and I'm sure it has less than 50k on it. I remember the machine reground the cam and resurfaced the lifters. I used...
