    1978 Scottsdale Drag Link Question

    I’ve got an ORD 4” lift on my ‘78 K20, the drag link angle seems excessive to me, but this is without the cab & box on the chassis. Hopefully the springs will settle somewhat…

    Thanks Nick That’s exactly what I thought, but wasn’t sure. I see these going for much more all the time. I’ll try to get with the guy early tomorrow.

    I’m always looking for possible parts in my area. Saw this today, I have no experience with the later model stuff. I’m not asking about the price, I always negotiate. It’s the trans itself, year, etc.. What do you think?

    Mandrel exhaust shop

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Adding 4WD, where does the shifter go?

    I believe in the pre-‘80s trucks with 203 & 205 TCs the shifter mounted to the TC itself, thus the hole in the hump for the shifter had to be in a particular position. The ‘80s trucks with the 208 the shifter mounts to the hump itself, with the single adjustable linkage rod to the TC… the...

    Fat tire electric scooter

    Automatic transmissions, disc brakes, electronic ignition, fuel injection, etc.. Just a few of the many innovations in the history of automobile technology, and all met with skepticism… Back to the original post… I’m not purchasing an electric scooter, and I’m not suggesting anyone else...
