So somewhere in the past I lost all the pictures in the album that I had here. Like a dummy I never moved them from one hard drive to another during computer upgrades over time and assumed they would always be here but during my hiatus aroung 2011 to whenever, IB did some housekeeping and they were all lost from this site as well. I remembered that I had a picture of my '48 model 76 as an in another website so I went and found it and got it back. I think it will be pretty grainy but hey, it's back anyway.

 

That was a cool car. Didn't it have like 4.88 rear end gears? I thought you could brake the rear tires loose in pretty much any situation. Your lucky the 455/TH400 from your 69 Delta 88 didn't torpedo that differential.

 

Jesse - You might submit a request to a CO Administrator (further up the food chain). Many (most) large websites (IB is huge, yes) archive their databases - for many, many reasons (the least of which being legal purposes). Image files are not stored on the website, image files are stored in the back end database(s). No need for me to go into the nitty-gritty, but DB files are routinely archived. The front-end (website) queries an image & the DB pulls up the file(s). Just a thought - depends on how well the CO website folks get along w/ the CO IB DBAs (Data Base Administrators).

 

Yes I tried that, I reached out to IB but they said they don't have that stuff and couldn't help out.

 

Yeah Jesse, I wasn't sure the exact final ratio but guessed at it by the rotation of drive shaft vs. rear wheels trick. I didn't have any documentation to verify it though.

 

I recall I saw your 48 for sale in the South a few years ago (Mississippi, Louisiana or Georgia). I might have even posted a thread on it. I knew it was the one you had because the wheels were brush painted yellow.
