Re: Chev 283 dipstick.

Learn something every day.....Apparently the colour of the plug / tip denotes the length of the dipsticks that were used in the late 1960's & 70's Chev motors.

The rear floor is mainly ok as vans generally are and will yield a good repair section for anyone with a rusty ute rear.

Poorly worded listing I think?...Reads as $1220 each, then further in the listing reads..... This listing is for your choice 2x 15x7, 2x15x8, or 4x 15x7

Re: Micks chopped & tubbed ute

Not sure, Oz, maybe something to do with rigidity or torsional strength or something. You know how it is. One day its ok and next it doesn't comply.

Is it the same crossmember as pictured on page one of this thread?

I have an inner ute tailgate that needs both of those plates replaced, thought maybe I could cut them out of a wagon, doesn't appear so. :(
