    Looking for some interior parts

    I know I shouldn't be posting in this section to purchase Parts but for some reason there's no option to post a new thread in the wanted section, could be because I'm still too new to the site or something? Anyway if anyone out there has any interior parts they are willing to let go I need a...

    Spare tire was being a little prick

    Retaining bolt broke loose from its mount inside the rear quarter panel so there was no way to unscrew the hold-down bolt for the spare tire, so I had to make a few alterations with my drill. Kept punching holes around the nut until there was enough room to pull it through. It wasn't pretty but...

    Camber Adjustments

    Thanks for the advice definitely good to know. There's definitely some uneven wear going on the front tires, could be a bent frame, could just be from Fat Guys driving it it's whole life like myself and putting more stress on the driver side LOL. Either way I will get it straightened out before...

    Camber Adjustments

    So to adjust the camber out I'm assuming I would just have to add more shims?

    Camber Adjustments

    Is there any camber adjustments built into the factory upper control arm bolts? Or is a camber kit necessary? My driver's side tire is pretty worn on the inner tread and the camber needs to be adjusted out plus I'm gonna be cutting my coils soon so just wanna know if I need to get a cam bolt kit...

    Body work Body work Body work

    Yep, in this situation there was so much rot that I actually had to use the trim as a structural reinforcement. If I had removed the trim to do the Bodywork there would be no wheel arch so I just made it a part of the body. Plus I'm doing a bedliner paint job on the whole truck so it will all...

    Is it worth it removing this smog equipment?

    http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=601876 I found this link where another guy had the same questions and the general idea is that it was some sort of heavy duty emissions package. I also watched a video of another guy removing some other smog equipment from a K20 and he...

    Is it worth it removing this smog equipment?

    Here's a better view. I'm thinking it's a California car or something cause like I said I've had plenty but never seen this, but if it is a California car it didn't stay there long cause this is also one of the rustiest cars I ever had lol. All the extra silver tubing runs into each Port of the...

    Is it worth it removing this smog equipment?

    I have had quite a few small block 350 but this is the first one I've had with this type of a smog set up. Is it worthwhile trying to remove all of this extra piping and tubing and trying to plug up the holes on the manifolds? It's not hurting anything at the moment but it does add some...

    Home made Heavy duty window wiring harness

    Saw this product made by LMC which solves the issue of the windows going up and down so slowly on the Square bodies. It draws power directly from the battery and uses two relays ran in line with the existing window motor harness. Definitely a good idea but it looks like something I can make...

    Switched over to LEDs in the dash now nothing works

    What I discovered while messing around with it is that it was all about completing the circuit. If I had one of the twist ins taken out of the cluster it would affect other lights not working. I also think polarity had a lot to do with it because I would take out the LED and turn it around 180...

    Switched over to LEDs in the dash now nothing works

    Took about 90 mins worth of swapping bulbs around the cluster and bending contacts, reversing polarity, etc. But I finally found the right combination to get the lights Workin. Only light I couldn't get back was the parking brake light so I gotta see what I knocked loose cause I know the bulb is...

    Switched over to LEDs in the dash now nothing works

    Thanks for the feedback, I spent a few days recently on my back under the dash sorting out issues with the light switch because when I was reinstalling the factory radio somehow all of my running lights stopped working but that's a whole nother story. When I put the bulbs in I didn't take the...

    Switched over to LEDs in the dash now nothing works

    Hey guys, Like pretty much everyone has experienced my dash lights were pretty dim and multiple ones were blown out so I decided to swap over to LED bulbs. I had a few leftover from when I upgraded the lights on my Cutlass a few years back so I decided to take the old lights out and put these...
