Stop in for a cup of coffee
Thanks to member @Sedanman we got the crank in the 360 last night...
I called him and asked if he had any main bearing bolts and he said,"No"... :(
But then after a little conversation with him, he stated that he had a windage tray with bolts for sale... WTF??? Why didn't he say that earlier when I asked if he had any spare main bearing bolts??? :wtf: :mad:
Hell Yeah!!! We'll take it... :thumbsup:
So I set up with the son to go get the windage tray and bolts while Doug and I fixed my truck....
He's working on a 72 Satellite and we were able to trade some of the B-body parts that Hoppy alerted me on and I picked up the other week... Thanks @halifaxhops :thumbsup:
Doug put the new pitman arm on (we had to remove the steering box to do it), new driver's side wheel hub, new radiator (the brand new one came with the water neck cracked and we had to exchange it for another one after finding the cracked water neck AFTER installing the radiator... Luckily we didn't fill the antifreeze yet).... And the new brake pads.... We noticed they were worn when doing the wheel hub, and with Doug having to make 3 runs to the parts store, it was too convenient for him to grab a set of pads for the front brakes....
It was pretty late by the time Keegan got back from swapping parts with Chuck, but we were able to get the crank measured (plastic gauged) and installed... Here it is, ready for the pistons... We plan to install the pistons in it today...
