    Canister fuel filter location

    Hi All, Looking for a location that makes sense. Attempting to put this aux filter in line without locating in the excessive heat of the engine bay. I hung it on the right fender but almost didn’t get through Denver because of near vapor lock. Pics coming soon.

    Got my GMC a playmate

    Man, I can’t remember if I’d posted a pic of my 16 Silverado W/T or not. If so, my apologies. My son found this truck in IN w/15575 miles, lowered, 5.3, automatic w/ locks, windows, and debadged. Currently installing a Airlift SlamAir kit with a wireless air compressor, and a hitch. If you look...

    Door latch linkage locking clip

    I’m not sure if the inside of the door is interior but pulling the the door handle linkage to remove, the clip holding the end of the rod to the door latch fell off into the inside of the door(I guess) Fig. 2D-37 in the “www.73-87chevytrucks.com/techinfo/7387CKMans//Service/“ online manual...

    Aux fuel filter location?? Heat?

    Here is the engine bay. Could heat become an issue (AZ) if I stick an auxiliary fuel filter in the wrong spot? I would like to mount it out and up by the hood hinge on the right side if this location doesn’t lead to vapor lock. Under the cab on the frame appears to be a lot more work...

    PSA: Some parts fit upside down

    I wasn’t going to admit being stupid but I’ve read stuff on here that saved me a lot of time and money. This will be one of my contributions to the cause. This little P.O.S. can fit upside down and look very innocent doing so...

    Daily driver quality

    I’ve almost finished my interior refresh. If you have broken or missing pieces, these are far better than nothing. Storage is premium here so I’ll box and ship for the freight fees,or, if no takers, into the bin next Tues. Let me know.

    7.4 water pump bypass hose

    This is for the 454 crowd, Is the water pump bypass hose necessary? If it is, seems they are, on my truck the hose will be 3” long and the nipples are very close. I am tired of fighting this. The parts store wanted to sell me 5/8” heater hose. I can buy the bent bypass hose online. Manifold...

    Constant shake cured

    To start from the beginning, I wanted to carry out a race truck theme starting with a lowered stance and outrageously wide tires all way around. Installed Aero 15X10’s with M/T Sportsman 275/60R15’s. Short story, lowered 4”/7”, clearanced like crazy and they fit, no rubbing up or down, lock to...

    3D printed GMC grilles

    Where are they? I'm waiting for some enterprising young man to start building grilles with this new technology. What are the roadblocks, can anyone tell us? They're plastic, lightweight, and small enough to fit in a printer. I'll find an old one, eventually. My luck, 2 months after I do, they...

    Where have you put oil and temp gauges, pics please.

    I don’t want to rely on factory gauges for oil and temp. One way to fix that is to upgrade, however, I’ve always liked the looks of stock instrument clusters. You guys are smart , where have you found to install a 2” gauge “out of the way” but still able to seen? POST SOME PICs’ please, GO!

    Hood Before and After

    Sanded and rattle canned, needs another coat. But before I do, what do you think? The match isn't too bad for Rustoleum spray can off the shelf. It was this or black?
