    Anyone in here happen to have some factory bedsides from a 5' bed trimmed or untrimmed?

    Thanks... color not necessarily an issue as I can paint... location on the other hand may be... no idea what shipping would cost to get them out here let alone packing them up in the first place.

    Yea I figured that getting them out to ya would be the biggest issue. Funny thing though is he was JUST talking about trying to find someone to buy them from him.

    Si. I blew up the sc 3.4 .....twice (didnt catch the bad injector when we rebuilt). The block was not salvageable the 2nd time so 4.0 was the solution. I did a couple drag races with a v8 ranger in a dry lake bed and we're pretty comparable on the acceleration and wasnt too far off on top speed......sure he had 39s+3 speed and im on 35s, but those are just semantics.

    Yes. More resistance to tearing and better articulation.

    The bolt holding my uniball adapter to my LCA continually comes loose. I am using a grade ten bolt with a nylon locking nut torqued as tight as I can get it.

    Would using a second nut / jammer nut be appropriate? Any other ideas on how to keep this thing tight?

    If you haven't tried lock tight I would I used blue Locktight on mine and it hasn't moved. If you have tried lock tight maybe you might need a new locking nut?:notsure:

    Tack it on? Or maybe 1/16” drill bit and some safety wire?

    Try searching around for aviation hardware like this site or A&P techs at a local airport might have something for you.

    Yes
    A jam nut is a good idea, do not use loctite on nylocks it breaks down the nylon. If you want to try loctite use a regular but.
