67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Sometimes ya get thrown a bone, but sometimes ya gotta work for it a bit to get it though. When i get blessed with good fortune like this, i thank my Lord for the gift. I got some 8.75 3" shock plates at my local boneyard today. Probably the last car thats in that boneyard with an 8.75 in it. 1969 fury 3 with a flat head 6 and trans dumped in the trunk. Must be the rare 2 engined turd green fury i have heard so much about. No engine in the front either. With a bit of trepidation since i really wasnt feeling it for dying under a fury in the junkyard, I grabbed my floor jack and some old steel rims off the junkyards rim pile. Jacked it, shored it up w the rims, and got to wrenching. A lot of penetrating oil, and a wire brush, and after about 40 minutes they were mine. Dry environment, the part numbers look like they were stamped in them just yesterday lol. The U bolts didnt give up the fight easily though, a lot of wire brushing, and tightening and loosening, and spraying w penetrant.
