grease quaker state used to make some wheel brg grease that was sort of stringy. it workedgood in hot weather & water too. i worked at utility co in GA & we used wheel brg grease in our grease guns. i have seen hubs that had been hot enough to blister the paint but the brgs were still ok...

electrical allways start with a fully charged GOOD battery. check for clean tight connections at the battery & where those cables connect frame.starter,etc. avoid cables that attatch to battery with bolt on ends, they are really only good for TEMPORARY uses. they can always be a source of...

lights get u a "speedway" catalog. they have the wiring plug ins u will need & i am pretty certain the catalog will show how to wire them. prices are ok and service is good too.

i ordered an Ac mount & alt mount assyfrom mail order shop in SC. said to be their most popular set-up. brackets installed per directions put both belts on same crank & wp pulley. i had to modify a lot. also the bracket assy was directly over wp outlet for htr hose. welding on bracket was a...

foreign parts/tools i don't buy anytools or parts from foreign countries if there is ANY other source available. many manufacturers have products built over seas because they have no osha regs,no child labor laws,and noone looking over their shoulder. at times the foreign stuff is cheaper...

stale gas i wouldn't even think about trying to run it in an engine. it will do some sort of harm.if nothing else mix it with your used eng oil when u change your oil & dispose of it the same way/place. it probably isn't very flamable by now.

floorpans have u thought about some old metal/commercial doors? they have a decent thickness that is easy to weld with a mig. i get some for free where they are remodling a building. around flea markets they usually sell for $5-$10. the metal is thick enough for patch panels. easy to shape...

demon carbs i have used several of the DEMON carbs & have had great success with them. only very minor adjustments out of the box. i think i have bought 5 or so because that is what customers wanted. no complaints & several have been in service on daily driven streetrods for over 2 yrs.

ram manifolds true "ram" manifolds are VERY rare in salvage yards unless they have a lot of old corvettes. very unlikely to find any. just my opin.

how much it will probably be for sale a long time at that price. seller has probably been sitting too close to the TV. he may have traveled back & forth from school on a very short bus.

wide whites i saw an article on internet or in a magazine where they took a die grinder & made there own wide whites. they started at the edge of the factory white wall & ground off the black rubber & there was about 2-3 inches of white wall underneath the black rubber. this is not a BS...

donar s-10 chevy is a good start. i would go for the v-6 at least

beds you can buy a bed complete- last one i saw was $1800.00 more or less. you can buy any of the pannels to make your own. they are not cheap. bitchin products i think has them.

patina look have you tried laying down a real think layer of red primer ,then spray a coat of black enamel over the primer, then take a wet lacquer rag & wipe the black off in places. follow body lines & wipe harder in places. not sure exactly what you are looking for.

fenders u can get motorcycle fenders from J&P CYCLES that about 9" wide and longer than the trailer fenders. metal & cost about $75.00 or so. if u don't like the look you can return them. i think they would look much better than the trailer fenders.
