I bet I was in there once a week to buy thing. Today they are parts only, pretty much like all the other places around. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2018 Posts: 2,450 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2018 Posts: 2,450 | Burning tracks Called sterling bearing they are wholsale outfit not wanting to hear from small time buyers like most bolters. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I remember when I was a kid.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Mar 2022 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2022 Posts: 117 | Fixite yeah that makes sense that there's not a lot about them online then.

We have a place like that in Terre Haute Indiana cranks on end waiting for customers to knock them over ! W hen I ran the grinder,same way with airplane shafts in the mix to be magnafluxed,some of them big radials. Had to be careful with aircraft parts,the whole thing had to be magnafluxed. We had tools to bore to size like a 216 rod just grind the journal round then bore a rod to fit it. | | |
