Hey Guy- I have to admit- all of my old trucks the first thing I do when doing wheel bearings is remove the spindles and take the dust shields off. Here in NE Ohio when the snow comes down, everytime I looked under my truck they were packed up with snow, rocks, and debris that would be held up against the rotor. The same things happens when you are offroading if you do that sort of thing. I took mine off of my '78 about 4 years ago when I put new rotors and hubs onto my truck and have not changed brakes, or had any adverse wear since then Thanks Tony, That's what I figured too.

They found one at a couple of different dealerships but upon calling them found out that they didn't have the part after all. I have also spoken with the guys over at the Green Sales Co. and they don't have one either. I know a couple of you guys on here have said in the past where to go for hard to find parts, but for the life of me I can't remember who, or where you said to look. Any help would sure be appreciatted, thanks! -Jake Jake Kinnison jake airjunky.com

I didn't know I could change the nipple in the carb (thanks Dave). This sounds like an option, too. I suppose a short piece of hose would be acceptable.

Subject: Re: garages Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 05:42:42 -0800 Most insurance companies give a discount on detached garages too :-) All the problems you guys have posted were on my list when I built my barn so it has 12x11' doors. I can even get my son's Blue Bird school bus in there to work on it and close the doors. As often happens though we can't afford to do the whole thing at once so insulation is next and then I will have a comfy work shop. I debated this but after watching the fuel tanks go down this year I decided all the shelves I have between the posts will have to find a new home to make room for insulation :-) My brother got the building inspector to allow him to add two coarses of block to his foundation and raise his garage so he could get his work van in it. He also put in a low head room door. All that didn't cost him too much, just a lot of work. He has it all insulated and drywalled with a gas furnace in it for painting signs (that's how he makes his living). I worked in a 8' tall, 20x24 uninsulated garage for 20 years but I did install a Pit when I poured the floor (dirt when I moved in) and stuck a dual fuel oil/wood home made stove in it for heat. That stove will probably do duty in the barn now and burn only wood since I have about a 2 year supply out back. I've decided to do my painting in the summer so I don't need a spark free stove.

Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 13:07:57 EST Subject: Re: garages Gary I like the sounds of your shop and it's alot like my dreams (only really dont need the heaters, though cieling fans would be peachey). Ive got my eyes on the vacent lot next to me and it'll make a wonderfull workshop (and sailboat storage) while reserving the garage as parking for all but the van. Besides, the Bronco is going to go down in the near future for an, as yet undetermined ammount, of restoration & refurbishment. Having a full size workshop for that would be heaven. My last engine change was a real thrill in my current garage as it's got a low cieling due to the above "in-law" guest room. Used a very short chain, and stratiegic placement of hoists/truck and partially deflaited tires to make it work (and work it did!). But like you say, it all comes in stages and we gotta prioritize.

Subject: Re: garages Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 17:00:34 -0800 On a new tack, sort of. The guy who built the garage on the house I bought poured the slab for the floor of the garage at ground level. The lot is fairly flat with a very slight slope away from the house. However when the rain comes off the roof it splashes in front of the garage doors and ends up running into the garage. Makes working on my truck a bummer. I've tried putting a gutter in the ground and drain in front of the doors and it has helped some. I am considering rain gutters on the eaves but am afraid the definitive solution will be to pour more concrete to raise the floor. Any other ideas guys? Tom H. ------------------------------ ....
