    Removing flathead studs?

    The Snap On collet is the ONLY tool that will really work. Cooking the block first helps. You should clean a block with the acid type submerge that's used for complete auto bodies. It will remove the rust mineral deposits from well water, that most of these engines started life with. I...

    WTB Grille ornament for 36 Big Truck

    I have a 36 pick up and a 36 ton and half on my farm, they are shedded right next to each other and the grills are identical. The V8 ornaments also interchange as I've picked up better ones over the years, and have swapped them around.
