    Custom trunk

    Just wondering if anyone has pics of their customized trunk. Mine is perfectly solid, no rust, just really grimy, greasy and dirty, so Im going to strip it down to the metal probably with thinner, and a wire wheel, and instead of just going with bed liner, I was thinking of customizing it...

    Core support bushings

    I haven't seen them either except my old ones were exactly the same. I still have them on my bench. Im almost positive (of course Im drawing a blank) that theres a rubber bushing around the bolt shaft thats part of the cup that comes up thru the support. I did use fender washers to mock it up...

    Steering column shaft to transmission

    Ive just put my car back together, and for the life of me, I cant remember how the column shifter rod, the part that it goes into actually on the transmission end go back together, where the super thin washer is. I put it back together they way i thought and its super hard to get the shifter...

    Rear brake lines for rear-end swap

    Hey folks I checked Inline Tube but they don't list REAR brake lines for my 84 Monte. They list "1984-88 Power Disc Brake Line Set 7pc" which I imagine is the hole car. Does anyone know of a place that has just the rears? Thanks!

    It's Hard AF trying to find a driveshaft

    Isnt a th350 drive shaft and a 200-4r the same length? I have an 84 SS and switch trannys from th350-200-4r and Im almost positive I used the same drive shaft. 200-4r driveshafts are pretty common. I have a couple laying around.

    Should my transmission cooler line be bent like this?

    What I did was order stainless PRE-BENT lines from http://www.inlinetube.com. A little pricey, $75. You can get lines from NAPA or wherever and bend them yourself, but for me, the factory look of brand new stainless perfectly bent lines was worth the $75.

    350 serpentine system

    I used S10 blazer (v6) brackets. Worked perfectly. Just had to use condenser with lines on the passenger side for the ac which is now on the passenger side.
