Rush hour(s) start at 2:30 p.m. and end at 7:00 p.m. Just in case you want to go out and run some errands at your leisure. ☆☆☆☆☆

I should probably mention there are 2 types of hammers. Finishing hammers with the machined larger round flat face. And Rough In hammers with more of a Cast head. ☆☆☆☆☆

The Heal and Toe style dolly's are very handy, easier to get into a lot of tight spaces. Other simple 50.00 hammer dolly sets, the hammers are less than ideal but can work. My favorite finishing hammer is a thin flat face with the chisel point made by Snap on Tools. The head and handle...

Need to check over your equipment well before you leave on your trips, then you don't have unexpected problems while out on the road. Tires need to be up to date and not sun rotted even if they are only 3 years old. ☆☆☆☆☆

This is crazy thinking. Feel your hubs when you get gas > truck and trailer. You can feel the tires too if you want > running hot then there is a problem. Too many electronics not a good thing. Relax and enjoy the ride. ☆☆☆☆☆

There are differential rebuild kits for '68 > 7 1/4 rear ends on rock auto. May have to send out the diff housing to a machine shop to weld and redrill the center pin holes if they are egged out. Here you go: May be other parts on their site for 7 1/4 too besides these.... ☆☆☆☆☆

First off a 7 1/4" rear end is a very light duty rear end. As the small 2 spider gears start to wear, it wrenches on the cross pin in the case. So much so that it eggs out the case that the cross pin sits in. Eventually it sheers the the 3/16" bolt pin on the end and the cross pin starts to...

With the trans filter back on and the pan back on and 4 quarts of new trans fluid back in the pan. Put a "T" with a 10" long rubber down hose on it and plumb that in on the passenger side trans cooler line before it enters the radiator. Put the 10" long rubber down tube into a 1 gallon old...
