I missed this thread. I know where there are at least 50 splasher 235's you could get for $50 a piece or less. Besides, you need a trip to Kansas anyway. Great...

Oh yes ~ does your ammeter register a charge when the engine is running above idle ? it should but don't expect the battery to get recharged if you only run it...
Nate, How long should I run the ATF in the engine? Having spent 20 years on Navy aircraft, and the perils of fluid cross contimination pounded in my skull, I'm...
Just too sweet......Hank Williams and Ernest Tubb singing along to the hum of a great ol' Chevy pickup. Man, it just doesn't get any better than that. Ain't...
I don't consider the splasher design as flawed. The engines (splasher vs full pressure) were practically identical with the exception of the width of all the...
I got to move my 2 ton from my home to a nearby friend's property since the M.U.D. has sicked their lawyers on me for having a 2 ton in my driveway. I recall...
If its the original motor it would be. Check the casting date code found behind the starter on the right side of the engine block. Should look something like...

I'm not Nate, but I've used the ATF in oil for years. ATF is 10 weight oil with a lot of detergent additives. I put it in before an oil change and let it run...

Jon I live in TX and have not heard of that. You could probably call your local county DPS licensing office and they could give you the straight poop. Ken '50...
Jon, not sure if same thing, but I bought a temporary paper license tag for a whopping $5 from my local county DMV for a car I bought in Florida and drove to...
In doing some more looking, I see that this (or at least a similar) gear set is distributed by several compaines. I assume that each company is distributing...
Nate (and anybody else who knows), I went to The Truck Shop and they had only the 8-leaf springs for the rear. Do you know who would sell the 10-leaf springs -...
If you are talking about 47-54, you do know there is an accessory overload spring kit that was available? Deve www.speedprint.com/Deves50 ... From: Ray...
Deve, Sorry I didn't tell you it is the 55 1st series 3100. I didn't know that there is an accessory overload kit available. According to the shop manual and...
Yeah, I do think the accessory overload kit would fit a 55 1st. I have a set for one of mine. It consists of a single helper spring on each side with a rubber...
Deve, Thanks. I will check those places out. Ray ... From: "Deve" <dkrehbiel@...> To: <old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004...
Hey Guys Be careful about using "Overload Springs." Overload is a term that implies that you can increase Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings by their use, but the ...
I recently replaced leaf springs in the front (broken leafs). After shopping around, I got the best price from a guy named Mike at eatonsprings. They have a...
All this time I've been assuming that I have a 235. Well, after discovering that things are not fitting as they should (gaskets, parts, etc), I decided to...
I just re-read my earlier post and see that I omitted the most obvious difference between the splasher and full pressure motors when I claimed that the motors...

It was driving me nuts so I went back just now to verify it again. I miswrote a number the number should be 3769716 no wonder I was getting a 292! Anyway, what...
Might want to check your casting number again. Your "8" is probably a 3 because I came up with a 3739716 that translates into a 60-62 235 CID. This would also...
