finally got eligable for antique tag in florida....87 dodge b150,slant6 with 1 bbl carb,a-833 4 speed manual tranny,365k miles still goin....16 mpg...top speed 70 with tail wind
Just where would someone purchase one of these "tail wind" things you speak of? ;)
Seriously though, aren't there driving restrictions that go with antique tags?
Einstein, when describing radio said "Wire telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull his tail in NY and he meows in LA. And radio works the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
AAA tech that changed my flat on the way to Nationals let me know my lug studs were stripped out.
I first hammered out the old studs but decided to go ahead and replace possibly the original rotors since there was a large groove on the inner side and turning them would have put them under spec.
Painted the dust shield with rust reformer then put on new rotors and pads along with cleaning and repacking the wheel bearings.
I've heard of this happening but never seen it till now, metal shavings on the abs sensor, which I cleaned off, didn't cause any problems for me but if you have abs problems it would be a good place to inspect.

Lost my tire on the way home from the nats. Lost the other side coming home from the other show. Old fashioned i guess, i went ahead and changed it myself.
Both back tires were old when i bought the van. Hurcules brand. The tread seperated on both. I thought it was machanical problems the first time. Second time i went online. Found out with the serial number The tires were 52 years old, yes, i said 52 years. Van is 33 years old. That brand had dozens of recalls for separating tread accidents. If you have Hercules brand, check online asap, just in case.
I modified a chevy tire hauler to fit my dodge. Thank god i did. Needed the spare twice. When the tread seperated it slapped the rear quarter bending it. I fixed the other side of the body before the nats, now i have to fix this side, grr Never ending project.
