  1. well, if it's roughly a 60/40 and 3200 pounds, that would be 960# per tire up front and 640# per tire in the rear
  2. Urethane. you want to use actual windshield adhesive to adhere the window to the cab.
  3. yeah, the black rubber bit you see comes off if you gently pry up the edge and kinda roll it to pull it off. It just fits onto the edge of the glass. be very careful, especially in the corners, as they are definitely not available new. you might need to scrape the silicone off first of course. what a mess. To remove the window, Harbor freight sells a tool that is essentially piano wire with 2 handles. poke the wire through and then saw at the urethane glue until the window is free. Then clean off the urethane and reapply it to glue the window back in. You can hold it in place with painter's tape while it cures. Be very careful not to saw at your interior panels.

    we have a stainless Bosch. it's so quiet that it has a little light that shines on the floor to tell you it's running.
  5. nice! but the big question is... how bad is the whistle? is the tube long enough to muffle it?

    I like the 8 slots with the extra bits removed
  7. what was once a single board, is now many. nearly finished. just need to stabilize the bottom of the slide and find a way to give it a bit of "roof" (probably just a tarp).
  8. you could start a new thread that the first post contained all the memes (with no names but with numbers to sync with the poll) and then add a poll to vote for one.
  9. you better! holy crap!
  10. also, the buckets will have female seatbelts that have a sheath that holds them up.
  11. if your bench's floor brackets are in good shape (the bits that bolt to the floor) and if the bucket seats have the straight sliders, then the bucket seats will bolt up to the floor brackets with minimal fuss. BUT if your buckets seats have the rocker bases (curved) that complicates things a bit. if your bench seat's floor brackets are rusted and toast, Brandon makes sells replacements:
  12. general spring has some stock packs. car-part.com might be able to find you some junkyard packs
  13. can't let you get rid of that without bestowing you our highest honor. dang that's a nice ride!
  14. are the rockers and cab corners straight? I've gotten pretty good at removing them. not that I'm looking to drive many hours for them at this moment in world history. but it's good to know where they are
  15. that's a good haul.
  16. are you looking for the curb weights at each corner?
  17. I wonder how hard it would be to create a poll?
  18. so what all did you get?
  19. most of the missing ones either shattered because I was hand-drilling at a weird angle and it caught and snapped (always wear safety glasses!), or the corner chipped right out. in fact the one I used today had a missing corner but the remaining was in great shape so I cut out a single string of chips.
  20. I was looking at this set. the last set was around 75 bucks but that was years ago. this set is like $65. and made in the US too! Drill Hog® 29 Pc HI-Molybdenum M7 Drill Bit Set in Black Round Case w/ Belt Clip Includes: 29 Fractional Sizes from 1/16" to 1/2"
  21. I'm down to about half of my original cobalt steel drill bits (purchased over 20 years ago) so I figure it's time for a new set of bits that when you open the box a light shines out and the angels sing. anyone got a set that they just rave about? looking for bits that easily take on stainless and other hardened steels.
  22. how far are you going?
