Hi Rich, sorry I didn't see your post til now. This is the last spot on the forum I come to before I go elsewhere on the net.
Alan I still gotta find someone to give me a ride home after I drop off the truck, so it may not even be Saturday that I can get it there. I'll make a few calls tomorrow and see what I can get worked out.

Its cool Lee, just keeping a tab on you so you do not stray from the foll again, baaaaaaaa.
Alan sounds like you are busy as a one armed man shoveling sand with a pitch fork.
Yea I do not like smoke or circuit breakers popping on start up either, especially when I am about to get in it and go fly.

We worked all day in the shop! Tore down one dana 44, most of it was junk so we pulled another from the shed. It was build for another project but just happen to have the right gears! Got it cleaned and painted. Just got to swap out the passenger knuckle with a flat top for the cross over steering, and it can be put under the frame. Got the 4in lift springs in today brake lines almost done. Called the guy about the 37s he is bring them to town for me after church! Only has one set left though I wanted 10 to 12 tires total! Rich I don't think I need bead locks.

I always see to locate someone on the list with either the 36's or 37's for sale, 10 to 12 of which ones? Bias ply 36's or the radial 37's?
When you air down you will pop a rim cause they are pretty stiff side walled.

Morning gentlemen, looks like another slow "Monday" for me. Sure wish KCPL would light a real FIRE in the boilers over at the power plant. One train a week is getting really old.
Question should be, how much of the OEM smoke did y'all let out? One of my hobbies (antique gas engines) there is a running joke in that forum that if you let the smoke out...your screwed. The engines have been out of production for almost 50 years, so OEM smoke is no longer available.
Ches, 37" radials on a trailer? That must be some kind of trailer.

How else would you get a barbeque pit to the wheelin' spot? 
Good Morning Everybody!
Coffee's almost done and I'll be headed out to the garage to get those carburetors built. ....then, on to the engine swap.
