Surprised Brewers made them. The one on my '87 project truck was cracked and broken. I was able to reweld it but not able to keep the original alignment of the "Z" bar but it works and doesn't bind. I've looked in most (all?) of the NOS vendors data bases and had no luck. If you have a damaged...
Re-read your ad and realized these are on the adjustable side of the lap belt. '76 parts truck must have aftermarket lap belts because they do no look anything like these.
Yes to changing bell housing to install a V8. But you'll also need the proper flywheel and clutch assembly. You will likely have to modify your cross shaft (Z bar as some call it) mount to bellhousing. Deternmining trans is as easy as cleaning the road gunk off. Your 8 1/4 rear will probably...
@ polara_500 - Do you remember if your original O/D trans that failed had an aluminum gear case or cast iron.
@ Dan Brooks - the factory made several variations of the O/D 833 transmission. An all aluminum one, an all iron one, and a hybrid one with an aluminum gear case and iron tailshaft...
I seen the plastic clips installed both ways from the factory. I've come to believe installation varied by assembly plant and individual worker. I prefer the two ears up myself but no right or wrong based on what I've seen. I have the correct plastic clips available if you need them. Pm me if...
Agree with all others, you want the B/E/Truck long tail shaft transmission. But as somebody else posted, that is exactly what you have currently behind your SL6 so why look for another? If your current transmission has an aluminum gear case you will gain a small measure of strength by switching...
Been away from computer. Yes I was trying to make a point with my picture posting, you're right. Part of my skepticism is that in the photos 00ram318 posted the front faces of both, the 6" wide car wheel and the 7" wide truck wheel, have the same offset on the exterior face. So looking at the...
No harm no foul. But yet again no proof is actually offered. 00RAM318 says he has one of these wheels yet can't seem to photograph it in such a way as to clearly show it is what he says it is. He's got a camera, he knows how to take a pic and upload it, how difficult can it be? In the end it...
I is, I is, the primary skeptic !! I went thru this recently with a kid who was selling a set of the 15 x 7 16 slot road wheels. He was convinced they were off a late 70's dodge magnum, but he had been told that. They did have the 5 x 4.5" lug pattern and did not have the chrome center the...
@LocuMob - Option RY8 only says wheels 15" with no width. It does specify not available with 7.00-15 tires. The mag style wheel, with no center cap, I posted a pic of is that very year and it is a 15 x 7 and probably the wheel offered in option RY8.
I agree there are several styles 15 x 7 styled steel wheels from the factory, just not the 16 slot variety. People often get confused in measuring rim width by measuring across the entire rim width instead of measuring down in the rim's recessed tire area and there is usually about an inch...
