I use the same spreader and use the bolts described in the manual but I don't like it.

If I remember correctly in that picture, on front side, I was using a longer bolt in the thermostat housing. Backside was using a head bolt.
Everything else I tried, left me with the motor hanging heavily to one side. | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 775 Bondo Artiste | Bondo Artiste Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 775 | Jed, those are some sweet looking trucks. I would be unable to decide which one I would want to drive more!

If the pictures weren't in color, I might have to accuse you of liftin' those pics out of a 1952 Chevy Sales brochure!!
Your '46 is still my favorite.. but i'm maybe just a tad bit biased!
With your current lineup, you better start clearing off some shelf space for all those trophys you'll be bringin' home next summer!
Congrats!
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

Keep an eye out for the addition to the gallery. You guys won't believe the story on this truck... Purchased from 3rd. owner who knew both of the previous 2 owners personally.

I think I saw you driving through Gunbarrel in the new truck the other week. Looked really nice

Know I've heard of it, but where is it?

Nope! I've made it through several exams and audits and haven't been caught yet.
Only a matter of time though, I s'pose.
Guess I'll follow Joker's lead in the meantime, and: "Just Drive Em"! | | |
