    Brake bleed hose

    Anyone know the size hose needed to cover the bleed screw to bleed brakes on 87 R10? Harbor freight brake bleed kits are not very highly rated, probably just do it with just a hose and pumping brakes.

    Insurance

    I see Hagerty is the most popular insurance choice. Any idea how the big insurance companies like State Farm value an old truck that is a nice old truck but not fully restored? Lets say it was stolen or totaled in accident.

    Should I add CAT converter back to my 87

    The previous owner cut out the CAT converter on my 87 R10 5.7. The truck is almost 100% original with 105k miles. I get a really strong smell of fumes from the exhaust and a little in the cab when sitting still. Would adding the CAT back fix the fume smell? Are there any sensors, ect. that...

    Dual tank switch kills the engine

    I have a dual tank 87 R10. The truck runs great on the driver side tank. The gauge on the driver side works. When I flip the switch to change to the passenger tank the truck instantly dies. I replaced the switch and put gas in the passenger tank with no luck. I'm no mechanic but can do...
