MikeE 'Bolter M Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 De Pere, WI	I am considering re building a 216. Is there a replacement or different connecting rod available today for the original babbitt rods? I did this once back in the 70's and easily found some rods. What is out there today? Any kind of economical swap? 1946 1-ton Panel 1952 1-ton Comml. W/Grain Body
