I’ve always wanted one of these suckers, I traded my 1999 Cadillac Deville. This was a risk trade for me as the Chevrolet C3500 LS Dually had a title in Nevada, the paperwork was two owner down transaction and on top of it the truck did not pass smog emissions in California due to the Bank 2, Sensor 1 (pre-cat) heater was not operational.
Other than that the truck is in decent shape for a truck and already lowered which was the appeal for me. It drives like a freakin’ Flintstones car due to the lowered cut front springs and the rear has been “C” notched with the leaf springs reversed. I have a set of helper bags I’m going to install to help with harness of the ride when the pads makes contact.
I’ll go ahead and log when I’m adding oil into the 1999 Cadillac Deville. It will give me an idea of how much it is consuming during a week of commuting. That’s approximately 550 miles a week on the average if I drive Caddy every day of the week.
This is what I would like if I decided not to shave and I was part Arabian or I could be serving slurpies down the street at the local 7 Eleven convenience store. Now that’s messed up!
One year ago to this day I drove my 1963 Thunderbird home. It was a cloudy and rainy day, I really didn’t know what to expect getting a car that was only a year younger than me. Throughout the year I had spent countless hours fixing and repairing issues that cropped up or already had. It was a learning experience for me but also added the confidence to work on anything.
It was fitting that I purchased a couple of NOS tail light setup for Josie this morning, sort of a birthday present!
I plan on keeping Josie until my golden years. Hopefully by that time i would have done most of the work and restoration I set out to do.
Woke up this morning to get an early start at the swap meet held at the Lodi Grape Festival facilities. I’ve been hunting for a rear tail light lenses assembly for a couple of years now. I have gone to several car swap meets but never gotten lucky until today!!
I was able to fund a set for Josie brand new inside of the package and to top it off I got a set of the lens center trim piece that fits inside! All this for the price one NOS replacement lens on EBAY. What a freaking score. It also shows that you need to come early to these shows and at least have a first crack at something if it is being sold.
Well, I jacked up the front of Josie to gain access to the upper A arm inner shaft and bushings. On different variations the end caps will have a zerc grease fitting. I was hoping I had a plug and would be able to install a right angle 90 degree fitting. No luck. The damn inner shaft was an older type and no fitting access.
Since I had the car up in the air I went ahead and greased up the zerc fittings that were available and accessible.
