    Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10

    I’m a small guy but with new seat foam the factory wheel with 3-4” of dish was way too close. This is a Grant 1916, it’s 13” and basically flat. I’m still looking locally for a tilt wheel.

    85 vent windows

    I had intended to have those pieces powder coated black when I had my wing windows all disassembled. But time constraints got in the way and I sprayed them with Rustoleum black… we’ll see how well it holds up.

    Replacing a single frame rail, can it be done?

    I’d suggest fabbing up a jig to hold the frame if you want it to be as best as possible.

    If you’re opening it up do it right… Get the rebuild kit, there’s tons of step by step info on the net.

    Replacing K20 fuel tank

    I had new tanks & straps, even with no cab or bed it still took a ratchet strap to get everything lined up and the bolts started.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I learned about Penetrol from a childhood friends father who refinished antique wooden furniture. He could lay down a slick hand painted coat of paint and there wouldn’t be a single brush stroke. I used it in the frame paint on my truck.

    Knocking/ticking noise after oil pan gasket

    I read that you filled the filter with oil… did you put any more in the engine?

    I used Hooker manifolds and stock dual exhaust, with the Turbo mufflers that aren’t aggressive.

    Would these shocks be good?

    Do you have a local spring/suspension shop? Drag those beat up springs down there and have them work or replace them as needed. Get those right before addressing shocks…

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    I buy and sell very occasionally on FB MP and always check the profile as much as possible. Just sold a beautiful Martin guitar on MP last week, it went super easy.

    NP203 leaking. Replace or fix?

    Yes, to use your existing trans & adapter you definitely need to stay with the same spline count.

    1984 3 speed transmission

    Those truck Saginaw 3sps were very desirable way back when circle track racing. A bunch of different version/gear ratios. If I remember correctly we’d pull the cover and count some teeth, we wanted a 1:68 second gear?

    NP203 leaking. Replace or fix?

    They made a lot of 203s, and it seems theres always one for sale around me. They’re usually advertised $100-400.
