Trailer breaks
I've tried breaking loose the T connector. Won't budge. Feels nearly fused to one of the main break lines. However, I can remove the lower, thinner line to the break controller. That got me thinking... So I found break line plugs. I haven't measured the size yet but am I wrong to think that...- gingerfoxe

Trailer breaks
I'm in the process of stripping down my truck and doing away with systems I don't want. The trailer brakes being one of them. They're old school hydraulic line and I want it gone. If I'm going to ever tow again I'd like an updated system. Other than pulling the wiring, I've already done that...- gingerfoxe

What have you done to your square lately??
Last week I ripped out every single wire from the rear to the firewall. This week I plan on starting the process of rewiring it all. So stoked to see all this wire spaghetti cleaned up. The horrors I have witnessed make me wonder how I drove this for years without ever breaking down somewhere...- gingerfoxe

Rewiring chassis
I dropped big bucks on the painless performance chassis wiring kit for my '86 C20. Fingers crossed that this will take care of all my electrical issues and get my truck back on the road! Has anyone here installed this? If so, how long did it take you? Was this a success for you or is there...- gingerfoxe

Newbie here!
Here I am months later! Now, my truck has sat for four years (closer to 5). I have put in so much work to try and fire it up but NO. I get power but nothing. The starter (which is new) won't make a peep. I replaced the battery cables and the ignition switch. I've found plenty of corroded wiring...- gingerfoxe

Newbie here!
Thanks for letting me know! I plan to get some work done this week and will take some pics then! SD JunkMan, you have a point. Many of my projects (not vehicle related) go without before and after shots and looking back I wish I had them! I'm terrible with remembering to get photos (even of my...- gingerfoxe

Pictures... Well, my avatar is how it's currently sitting. Rust and all. So what are the "good" pics? My forum fluency just isn't there yet. Speaking of rust, is body work worth working on before getting everything else up to par? I figure getting the running gear squared up should come before...- gingerfoxe

Newbie here!
New to here but not new to climbing in under the hood of my 86 c20, named it Burt. My dad picked this truck up in 2012 for us to work on together. He gave the truck to me when he was put on hospice in 2013. For years it was my commuting project. Then kids came around. It's been sitting for...- gingerfoxe

A bit about my truck and me
I bought my 86 in similar condition. I swapped the worn out 400 trans for the 350.- gingerfoxe
