  1. then you can imagine how lucky I feel I'd been hunting pullaparts for years now. I can't imagine they sold all that many. minor update: I epoxied the grille back together as best I could and painted it black. I'll get a pic once I can (too bright outside for the black to show up in the image).

    How to Reproduce?

    indeed. best I can offer is I can likely tell you how they were made IF I had one of the parts in my hands. There are always little telltale indicators on plastic parts. BUT, I'd wager that knowing how the originals were made doesn't actually bring new parts closer to fruition. you have to work with what you have available, and that is likely going to be 'glass.
  3. I bet they do. apparently that one could have been much worse, as there were some hazmat tankers super close to being part of the derailment.

    size 14 socks

    I've had nice wool socks in the past and had a love-hate relationship with them. The problem boils down to finding ankle socks in a size 14. Even the XL hiking socks were barely big enough new and eventually shrunk a bit over time and I stopped wearing them. I'll have to check out costco.

    size 14 socks

    where do you guys with larger feet get your socks? I used to get Hanes brand white ankle-height at Walmart (sz14-16 I think) but the last couple times I found that hanes was severely skimping on the amount of fabric in the socks. bastids.
  10. be sure to start yourself a build thread.
  11. nice Are those led style halos on his rig?

    maybe talk to the guy that does Lund visor re-pops. they are fiberglass, but honestly I wouldn't be opposed to them being fiberglass on my truck. I worked for dupont's plastics division many, many moons ago and dabbled in vacuum forming. But we were only doing small 12" long parts, not 5 ft long front ends.
  13. just the factory mini-console. and yes, the dash is as clean as your eyes perceive.
  14. the story is that it had a wire fire and was stripped to repair, but then they gave up and just ran enough wires to make the carb run. best part was that the brake lights were a button on the firewall in stead of, you know, the switch still there above the pedal.
  15. or the other end of the spectrum, this is my old 86. previous owner drove up from Oklahoma like that. well, except for the speedo, I added that.
  16. mpgs are a very complicated math problem.
  17. not having a title is not a death sentence.
  18. Does Azzy's website differentiate any way between the 2.5 and 4.0? have you reached out to them yet? maybe they sent the wrong part?
  19. welcome to the club! I split off your post and hopefully one of the guys that's running the VINs will see it soon.
  20. have you tried dipping the sensor in boiling water to see if it works?
