Congrats on the awards, you have built an outstanding truck!

**The Rocknrod** · 03-28-2022, 10:28 AM

Thanks buddy. ��

Hey man, I remembered back awhile you bought the Honda door seals, didn't like them, and replaced them. I'm in the same spot right now. I didn't notice any follow-up on the new seals you used. How are you liking them?

**The Rocknrod** · 04-15-2022, 03:12 PM

There are a couple spots where they too are tight. It's been over a year so it is getting better. The doors close and line up. No edges sticking out. So I guess I'm good now.

**The Rocknrod** · 05-22-2022, 01:36 PM

So I'm replacing the rear end cover with this. Also purchased the CPP deluxe panhard bar.

**Joe Pass** · 05-22-2022, 01:59 PM

Nice bling......did that on mine also

Great minds...

Nice piece, well made.

**The Rocknrod** · 05-29-2022, 07:55 PM

So the B&M Differential Cover came with the wrong load bolts and no fill plug. Summit tried to get Holley to respond for the last week to no avail. So I bought a set and a fill plug from Summit, received them and attempted to install it. Didn't want to wait till June or...?
That didn't work because the 14 bolts (instead of 12) B&M sent with the kit I found were metric. Yep. So I called Summit and complained again. Only this time the guy I spoke to sent me new correct fastener for the cover on they're dime.
This is the most expensive 12 bolt cover I have seen in my life in both time and parts to buy in order to install it. Still no word from Holley or B&M.
Looks great and sealed tight as a drum but come on.
I also installed the CPP deluxe (bent) panhard bar, no issues there.

**The Rocknrod** · 06-13-2022, 11:07 AM

I forgot to post pics of it installed.

It's actually better than I thought it would be. Other than the screwed up fastener bag.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-03-2022, 01:55 PM

I changed my tail lights up a bit, used the same housing though.

SkinnyG · 07-03-2022, 08:10 PM

I might have missed this - did you intentionally put the rear bumper on upside down? If so, do you have a picture of the whole back end like this so I can see if I want to as well?

**LostMy65** · 07-03-2022, 08:23 PM

I'd like to see it too.

It is from a different year. Late 60’s early 70’s body style. I only know because I asked the same question a while back.

Exactly. You did ask.

SkinnyG · 07-03-2022, 08:28 PM

I went back. Found pics I wanted here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...666226&page=20

Yes Saginaw Pump.
Part#
132R - A.C.
232L - Alt.
400L - P.S.
http://www.alangrovecomponents.com/S...Short_Pump.htm
You can shop around, eBay, Amazon etc for the best price I always do.
Someone on here said they were afraid of their belt coming off. I've had my engine up to 5K RPM without issue. NASCAR up until last year used engine belts that were not serpentine and they take they're engines to extreme for hours and hours year in and tear out.
As a set these Alan grove units line up perfectly.

forestb · 07-19-2022, 04:48 PM

Thanks. Your awesome.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-19-2022, 05:03 PM

Thanks. I know this sounds stupid but how do you order from them?

**The Rocknrod** · 07-19-2022, 05:27 PM

I dont know that I did, there are sellers all over. I think I conducted a search on eBay and found the best price.
Or you can call them.
