Beacon setup on a work rig
I like your Suburban. Just curious -- what's your work application for the truck?- Steelbuddha

27 FT Holiday Rambler
You project really takes me back. (Summer of 1984, it were.) I bought a 1960s "sportsman" camper from a guy for $200. Rebuilt it while mounted on the back of the truck. Framing, interior, insulation, wiring, everything. (The truck was a stripped 1980 F100; yes, I have been unfaithful.)...- Steelbuddha

New To the Forum
Welcome! Seems to me that truck shouldn't be too hard to find, given the VIN. Maybe a CarCheck report or something?- Steelbuddha

What is that, about a 1995 model? Looks good from here.- Steelbuddha

Internal engine noise
Get yourself a mechanic's stethoscope and home in on it before you start disassembling. This one is so cheap I decided to refresh my 45-year-old one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D91VMQR6/- Steelbuddha

Internal engine noise
It sounds top end/valvish to me, too. (From a few seconds of video, anyway.)- Steelbuddha

Can you dig it.
Just fine, as far as I know. The ashtrays and lighters are virginal. Of course, as my grandfather used to say, "If one thing don't get you, somethin' else will."- Steelbuddha

All three of my four-wheeled vehicles have ashtrays and cigarette lighters. Kind of a point of pride.- Steelbuddha

Time to fix my belt drive system.
Seems like in every case I've seen where belt-driven accessories were relocated (usually AC retrofits), NOBODY ever does the required machining to make sure everything lines up properly. Usually it's just shortening/lengthening bolts and/or spacer bushings. But they don't do it. So belts...- Steelbuddha

Recommendations for a new 4x10 speaker?
"satisfying 1-speaker experience" is kind of a contradiction in terms. But, you can make just about anything fit the dash. I have been putting heavy 6x9s in the bottoms of truck doors for more decades than I'd care to admit. Never a problem.- Steelbuddha

Carburetor TV cable retainer clip
When needed, I get all of that stuff from Amazon. Usually extremely cheap. Granted, I've wound up with some rather large assortments of pieces when I only needed one part, but hey -- you never know. (Whenever I cork off, the farm auction guys are already going to have their work cut out for...- Steelbuddha

cargo light/ 3rd brake light install
I might be inclined to use a surface-mounted fixture of some type, rather than going for the recessed original equipment design. It's not likely anybody would care about what the light itself looked like. That way you get away with maybe a 1/4" hole for wires and a couple of tiny screw holes...- Steelbuddha
