Right parts please!!
Has anyone ever felt like your never gonna get the right parts? I would love to
get an aftermarket part that i dont have to modify. I am working on lowering and bagging my 68 and having trouble getting parts that work. The flip kit i ordered that is suppose to fit my truck(they actually called after i ordered it to make sure what year truck i had) I had to cut a 1/2 inch off of each side to make it fit now the u-bolts need about another inch of threads(nut bottoms out before tight). I am gonna hit the parts house tomorrow morning
early hopefully they have what i need. When i get the axle bolted on i can start my c-notch.

Yeah that sucks...
That seems to go with almost every side project I have ever started!!!
I was thorughly excited when I put on my blinker switch W/ wires that I had ordered through LMC with no problems and a quick install (45 min).
Unless you have seen a truck show install the said item on YOUR truck....
Its most likely to not work!!
Good luck

Here's one major reason why some peeps always seem to get the wrong parts.
The partsman's lament.
I work behind the counter, in an automotive store.
Sometimes I'm called a genius, sometimes I'm called much more.
I'm supposed to know the numbers, of bolts, nuts and gears...
...for every Ford that was ever made for more than 70 years.
I claim I'm not a mechanic, but when the job gets sick...
...the mechanic comes and asks me, what makes the darn thing tick.
But..life would be a pleasure, and I'd grin from ear to ear...
...if the customer would only tell me, the MAKE, MODEL and YEAR!
=================================================
100's of questions are asked here on FTE every day. Some peeps post not a single shred of evidence of what they are a workin' on.
No year, no model, no engine size, no nothing!
Then they wonder why no one answers.
They must think we're all mindreaders!
