Hello NDTMAN I'm Radar would love to hear more about your project and see some pics. I am also building a restomod I call mine a restorod. My truck was also my paps that he bought new. If I can be of any help let me know-I put alot of time in mine working it out. Hope to have it on the road by fall ...

Some of you guys have wondered about restoring steering wheels. My buddy who has worked in a couple of restoration shops has done some and says its easy to do yourself. He uses a product called Steel its a 2 part epoxy thats available at Advance Auto Parts. He said you mix it up so its sorta like pl...

I heard that theres a guy near me that restores wheels. I'll try to find out more about him and let you know. Radar

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing this stuff. One of the original bill of sale for my AA when Pap bought it new, his Gulf card from the 1930's and me with my truck early 1960's Radar

years ago when I worked at a tire shop we always placed the split in the lock ring at least 1/3 of a turn away from the valve. the ring on the bead is probebly the outside,and the serial number on the tire should be on the inside. hope this helps. Radar

Wow a big new garage, old trucks, and happy dogs!!!!!! could life get any better? Radar

Yep Dave your right its a adjustible proportioning valve with a brake light switch made by Wilwood. With 4wl discs its amost required to set the front rear brake bias since there isn't any modern vechile with comparable weight and brake bias. Radar

Just finished plumbing up the brakes on my truck and I thought that some of you guys might be intersted in seeing how I put my system together. Now that it can stop the next piece of the puzzle is to make it go. If I dig around the garage I might find somethig that can make that happen! Radar

theres some things in life that can't be beat-grandkids,old trucks,dogs,and roadtrips to name a few. I'm gettin closer every day to the roadtrip. Have fun,good luck and enjoy. Radar

Last weekend my two youngest grandsons John 8 and Luke 6 as usual came to check on paps truck. They wanted to hear stories about my dad and pap when we used the AA on the farm so we cracked open some HI-C drink boxes and sat in the garage forthe bed t some stories. My mind went back to a simpler tim...
