    1965 Starcraft Holiday Restomod

I barely can with my Chief that has a 205 HP 4.3L V6. Part of the problem is guys...

    Welcome to the fray! Nice looking unmolested SS, should be a fun one to work on. (y) I would lop off about 2 feet of those side trailer bunks when te time comes for trailer work.

    1978 16 kingfisher

They are more difficult to set than the pure Al 1100 requiring a couple...

    1972 Starcraft Nova

    On the scale of difficulty 1-10, overall it's a 4 or 5 if you have the right tools. Seal puller, socket or seal driver with extension for the upper driveshaft seal. The water pump is very easy, just the bolts. the shift shaft seal is easy too, just need the special spanner socket for it is...
