A Coupla things here... 1. Gremlins were available with V-8's when new, the AMC 304, which was a pretty good engine. 2. The entire drive train and parts to keep it going (regardless of engine) are available at Jeep dealers/stores, since they have similar power trains. 3. This guy WANTED to get caugh...

My oldest son used this or something similar on the frame of his Kawasaki crotch rocket. Looks cool against the dark green paint! Lotta comments and looks!

Your ride, your choice! If you mod your ride based on popular opinion, you'll end up with what everyone else wants/likes. Think it through and do it YOUR WAY!! You've done well so far, keep up the good work!

Many thanks to all!

This is my mug....Joe

LOVE the GMC grille! Always thought it was better looking than the Astro grille! What seats are those? Use your stock seat base to mount them?

I had a 1998 LT that we bought new, had leather seats and both were power. The passenger power seat was an option as I recall, same on my current 1998 LS with cloth seats.
Hope this helps.

The old pickups were the same way up into the mid-50's models!
You're correct about the young cops not knowing this...my buddy is a retired Police Commander and he explained it to more than one overzealous rookie! LOL! Comes with the territory.

Looks like it will be easier to do than it was to put a 350 in my 4 cyl. S-10 a few years ago!! The more I read about it the more it appeals to me, especially since I use mine to tow my bike and utility trailer all over the USA!!

ALL of the ones we have are cargo type and we just sold one last month. It was a 1999 with a bad engine for a few hundered dollars, otherwise in great shape! I'll post it here next time, but the site is http://www.publicsurplus.com and there are always vans on the site, sometimes Astro/Safaris. Ther...

Not "just" a '40 ford Coupe, but a DELUXE Coupe with TWO tailights!! The Standard Coupes had one tailight on the left side...(Gotta be real old to know that)

Thanks Peter! Like your ride. Saw pics of the 9" Diff. Any others in here of that 502?

Wagonmaster came pretty easy for me. When Flying helicopters in the Marine Corps we were flying formation not unlike a "Wagon Train" when we approched a landing zone. WHen the Line CHief needed Helos for a flight he'd hollar for his "Wagons" to haul the troops! After that I have ...

I was out before Nam got going. PLEASE don't apologize for that! You served four full years...they didn't ask you to go or, like the rest of us, you'd have been there, too!! We did had advisors and helicopters there since 1962, so you were there when it went on. Know LOTS of Marines there in '64-'6...
