Identification help needed
The axles are from an older rig, it is a 12 bolt. My apologies for the vagueness. I'm learning new details of my truck the further I go and I have been ALL up and through it lol! It's an 87 cab, box is probably 73 because someone has done a pile of **** bodywork on it, front clip is perfect...- throttle out

Finally got around to look into my rear end and I need some help identifying my configuration. Gears appear to be 3.73 but the carrier is somewhat elusive in the searching I've done. It appears to be an Eaton posi but thats the only info I've found that seams to jive. Any help would be awesome...- throttle out

4.10 to 4.56 or 4.88

At 70mph my truck is at 2k rpm exactly. 700R4 and 4l60E are same od ratio. Use this...- throttle out

Another LED Question
The flasher is all you need. without it your factory flasher will not "blink". The resistor can be used in place of the flasher but is not the optimal solution. I would think their flasher would be the optimal route, the resistor would be the "plan B". Adding the resistor is somewhat of a quick...- throttle out

Different approach for dash pad resto. Opinions please!!
The flexing was indeed my main concern. But I will be using marine epoxy with 1/2 maybe 1oz cloth not polyester (bondo) filler. Flexing should be tolerable in my opinion. I think I'm gonna get after it. I'll keep yall posted!- throttle out

Different approach for dash pad resto. Opinions please!!
I know there are a million threads out there on how to restore a dash pad, however I haven't found any that fiber-glassed their dash pads. I build/refinish wood boats on the side occasionally and have copious amounts of top quality marine resins, cloths, and fillers at my disposal and am having...- throttle out

Got my gauges set up finally!!!!
Was a fun, easy little project. Been driving the truck daily to work and back for months now and only had fuel and vdc, having a full compliment of gauges makes a huge difference in the driving experience in the truck. If you have the money for the Dakota setup, they seem pretty nice. Too...- throttle out

I have heard duct tape called hillbilly chrome as well come to think of it lol. I was referring to rattle can chrome, specifically, Duplicolor "chrome". Made a world of difference, it actually illuminates the gauges enough that you can see them at dusk. Mine I could'nt before.- throttle out

Nope, they're regular incandescents, 168's I believe. I painted the interior of the housing and the back side of the black reflector panel hillbilly chrome and it made a huge difference. everything dims as it should!- throttle out
