The factory shop manual says you gotta reach up from behind to change bulbs in dash.. I can reach this lower left turn signal indicator, but cannot get it out. Others, I have no idea how to reach them.. -
What have you done to your square lately??
I finally got a rubber pad on the parking brake pedal. Everybody wanted $5.99 for it, but only O'reillys had free shipping to the store. LMC wanted $24 for shipping it. Install was super easy. -
Speedo cable length for 81 c10 6 cylinder saginaw
Speedo still working great. then driving to Boulder noticed the tach went out. Found the power wire had come out of the fuse box. On that ride I lost my left turn signal (Just the indicator on dash, outside lights work fine). Do I get at the bulb from the back of the dash, or do I have to remove... -

All have been ATP-pioneer brand. New cable fit properly all around. This was the only problem in my... -

Finally! A cup holder that doesn't take up space on my seat. From Oreilly, magnetic and a good magnet. Says it holds 8 lbs. Derek Beiry at VGG bought these for his mustang for a cross country trip. Works great. Part # PTT0051 -
Most affordable shipping for body panels?
It's 621 miles from here to Kansas City, and the same back. 1240 miles/14 mpg = 88 gallons, at $3/gal=$270 to drive there and back. AMD wants $800 for one way. It would be a nice road trip if it wasn't kansas and sunflower season- justhorns

31x10.5 with 3:73 gears.700R4 trans. What RPM will I have at 70MPH?
Your rear end should be (2000/2734) * 3.73 = you need a 2.72:1 rear end for 70 mph at 2000 rpm. Look at tire circumference to refine this calculation.- justhorns

31x10.5 with 3:73 gears.700R4 trans. What RPM will I have at 70MPH?
Its simple. For each 1 engine rotation, the driveshaft will turn 1/0.696=1.43 times The rear end lowers the rotation from 1.43 to .383 wheel rotations (1.43/3.73). So, multiply your 0.383 by the circumference of the tire 97.4" for a 31 (approximately, but go and measure your own with a tape...- justhorns

You know, we all have trucks. If we could arrange for pickup and delivery using our trucks, set up some kind of network..I am in Colorado and need the RR bedside for my 81. Where is LMC? Where is AMD?- justhorns

Speedo cable length for 81 c10 6 cylinder saginaw
Hey, my speedo cable is going wonky in my 81 C10 4.1L 250 6 cylinder, with saginaw 3 speed tranny. I put a cable in a few years ago and it was 105", and it was too short by a little. Now I look, and the longest is 80". What? cannot find a good listing and LMC doesn't say how long theirs are...
