Yes, no problem, bring your oil and filter (if it takes one).

See you there!

This was my favorite- a '63 Chevy with 11 original miles on it. I wonder what it would get at auction- 150K? 200K?

Re: '65 Standard

Spindles are on. 20230327_154455.jpg 20230327_154508.jpg I pulled the center pin out to find it is like new. 20230327_154527.jpg I pulled and resealed all of the JayCee pushrod tubes, as the o-rings had gotten square and leaked from age. 20230327_172511.jpg 20230327_181123.jpg 20230327_181319.jpg Th...

Re: '65 Standard

The pitman shaft bushings were worn so I replaced those, it can be done with the column in the bus. Pretty simple, actually, knock out the old bushings and knock in the new ones, ream them with an adjustable reamer, and install a new seal. You'd think it should be metric but the shaft diameter is .9...

Re: Tune-Up Day, May 6 2023

Rather than start a new thread I'll continue an old one and change the date. This year's TUD is Saturday, May 6, 2023 and everything else is the same. We'll have hot dogs and some munchies, bring your own small parts for installation. Normal maintenance and inspections will be done by those who know...

Casting Call for Classic Cars TODAY

My nephew is acting in a movie shot in Cleveland, and they need classic cars (40s, 50s, 60s) for a parade scene shoot this afternoon in University Circle.

Re: '65 Standard

I sold my lathe years ago because it took up too much room and didn't get used enough. I have friends with lathes, but when the bushings are $5 and you have to buy them anyway, you might as well buy the right ones.

Re: '65 Standard

A little slow on the forum lately. Bus 2 is getting a front suspension refresh. I sent the spindles out to be rebushed and will be changing the worn pitman shaft bushings in the steering box. FYI nobody in the US sells pitman bushings, with two suppliers in Europe. I ordered some extras in case some...
