    Wheels To Fit 42-48 5 on 5.5 Hubs

    I used the '35 wires on my '30 PU with blackwall 16's made by NANCO, good tires but they are trailer tires. I run about 10 lbs of air with no sidewall deflection. Handle well and stop good, I'm happy with this tire/wheel combo!

    vertical bandsaw

    My vertical bandsaw runs from 80 FPM, feet per minute up to 1250 FPM. About 125 is good for general shop work.

    Never drive in the rain or ice with cruise control on!

    I use cruise in my company truck every day on a dry highway, NEVER in town or rural highways. Going over a patch of ice will simply shoot the rear of the car around with no recovery possible. Think of it as the car going 55 hitting a ice or wet spot would cause the tires to loose traction, spin...

    Best crimping tool!?

    I work for Motorola and use these every day, use the bare terminals sized for the same gauge wire and shrink everything.

    Steve-o here from Western Mass.

    Thanks for the compliments everybody!! Still snowy here in Western Mass, but as you can see I HAD to do a winter cruise, although only a few mile jaunt as the only heat in that heap is from the exposed t400 transmission, it ALWAYS is a thrill. Got about 3000 miles on it last year with dirty...
