    The door rattle is likely due to a missing plastic piece on the striker plate, a pice of pex water pipe works real nice as a replacement

      Or you can just buy the door bushings for like 50 cents each. I have a 93 F-150, and the doors rattled like hell. Door bushings fixed them just fine.

    “You’ve got a 9/16” on one side and 11/16” on the other. Does that make any sense?” Actually, yes. Ford did that a LOT back when they made things to be repairable. It was so you could work on the truck if you only had a single set of end wrenches.

    I have a 1976 Chevy C-10 scottsdale for sale if your interested. It is a 2 owner truck, it has the original 350 Chevy with a turbo 400 transmission. It has 54,000 original miles. I got the truck a few months ago but I don’t have any time to fix it up and I want it to go somewhere good. It’s a west Texas truck and the only rust is the passenger side cab corner and the passenger side fender. All of the truck is original except the intake but I have the original one if you want it. Please get back with me because I want it to go somewhere good

Maybe you won't have to clean a multiple decades old bathroom again like the one you cleaned in the shop. You are very awesome to tackle that. Kevin is a lucky guy to have someone like you. The booger truck was classy with the color combination when it was new in 78.

    Put your transmission jack on top of a tool cabinet and ratchet strap it down. Thus making it tall enough to use with lift up and stable . Or build a rolling table to set the trans jack on. Standing while removing transmission is much easier than lay on back. Love the content

    Is booger truck a 78 or 79? My 78 had rectangular headlights and they were optional in 78. The original owner bought it from the factory in Dearborn. He drove her to Seattle then put her on a barge for her final leg of the journey to Wrangell, Alaska.

    Doesn't take too long to learn to appreciate power steering on a heavy vehicle
    Only thing I'd have done differently, is consider a rear main oil seal for the engine while you're in there.
    Even if it isn't leaking now, it may.
    Also, the reverse lights are on the column, it's part of the park/neutral switch, maybe needs adjusted.

    When I was a young lad (18 years old) I worked at a Cottman Transmission in Ft. Myers, Florida. I had pulling transmissions down to a science. My average time to pull a transmission was about 15 minutes. If you do it enough you get that good. Then again, I didn't work on that many rusted out cars and trucks in Florida. a 1/2 inch drive 36 inch long extension is your best friend when removing the bell housing bolts. Sometimes, if you have an engine that turns over hard when it is hot your timing my be off by a little bit. Try adding or removing a degree to see if that cures your problems but you may already know that...

    Get a bolt that's the same size as the bellhousing bolts but about an inch or so longer. With a cutoff wheel cut the head off the bolt. Then take the cutoff wheel and cut a slot in the untreaded end that will fit a flat bladed screwdriver. Now before you raise the trans screw the modified bolt into one of the lowest bellhousing holes in the block. Now you can slide the trans on to the stud for alignment (it works better if you make 2 studs.) Once you get one or two of the regular bolts in then you can use a screwdriver to unscrew the studs. BTW please ditch that side pipe on the Nova it's so lame!
