    Front hitch for snow plow

    http://www.jamesduff.com/eb/prerunner.html Yep - Duff. So the only difference between my front and rear is the cross member in the front. That's what gave out. I've been plowing 3 yrs in reverse (not much fun). The plow is no more the 250lbs total and it floats on the surface so it's not...

    Front hitch for snow plow

    I've been using a sport snow plow to clear my driveway (7k feet Lake Tahoe) for the last 3 years I hooked to my rear hitch on my '01 MDX. I decided last July to add a front hitch to my '77 to push a ski boat (working on that one w/the wife) and to plow the snow. I thought I'd look way COOLER...

    I got fuel system problems… any advice?

    I have a ’77 just completed 2 yr restoration and now she looks brand new – very happy with the work. 302 with stock carburetor. It was at a body shop for 8 months… they did a fantastic job. Ran perfect before I took it in. Now stalls every 1-10 miles. Just dies. I have to pull off the road…...

    Do I switch bodies '72 for a '77 ??

    I have a '77 here. Just picked it up - drive great and suspension if fine. It needs floors, kick boards and some minor filling/rust clean up in the cargo area and engine compartment. It needs a pain job. The outer body is perfect! Very little rust, no dents. The paint is original. On the other...

I’ve never used a welder but I’m pretty dangerous with a soldier gun. Got the burns to prove it! The last floorboards I replaced were in a...

    Any books on swapping frames and building suspensions?

    Well, from what I hear from the shops it will cost $3-4k in labor to swap frames, build a stock suspension, add front disc brakes, replace wires and a little more. I thought it was a bit much. So I GUESS I will do it myself. I don't have lots of FREE time, I don't have TONS of space and did I...
