    Door Strikers

    Maybe the red PEX is for the hot side and blue for cold ? Either way....fixing a part instead of just replacing it is way mores satisfying to me, so I love this PEX idea.

    por 15

    My buddy who sells it says you can spray it.....but that you should use a spray gun you don't mind replacing, since it can easily ruin a gun if you don't thoroughly clean it within the curing time. He also said that if you scuff it before it fully sets (within about an hour of putting it...

    Cab swap

    We had alot of crap going on this weekend and didn't really have much time to get anything done. That being said, we changed out the wire (.035) for some .024 wire (and a new .023 tip) and it made a HUGE difference. We did a couple of test welds (circled in green)..... ....and we...

    Excellent info, thanks!

    non a/c conversion

    Great looking project! I plan on refurbing my frame while I have the body, etc... off of it too. What made you decide to go with Tremclad instead of something else, like POR-15 for instance?

    Gm offers 100% new cabs!!!!!!

    Interesting. The price is pretty steep. It would be nice if they included some info on it, other than the price....like whether they come bare metal or if they are primered or painted. I think it would be very cool if they offered an extended cab version......

    Cab swap

    We were trying to use .035 wire, with the amperage turned all the way down and the wire speed slowed down...and with the tip held as far off as possible. I picked up some .024 wire last night and we're thinking that it will do the trick this weekend. Hopefully I can get it ready to go to...

    Cab swap

    We tried to get a little more done this weekend. Last week we ran into a problem with the 115v MIG welder not being powerful enough, so we decided to take the cab to my buddies shop... I used a wire cup to clean up the undercoating on the hump... I also cleaned up/trimmed the...

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    Well, I think I'm just going to do a yard pull then and forget aboutre-using my 4L60E. I have no idea about what transfer case I have. I'll try to get a picture of it posted up sometime soon.

    Cab swap

    I'm going to do the whole bottom with something that is very similar to rhino-liner. My friend sells it and has all the stuff to apply it. He also has some other stuff, similar to cosmoline, that goes on the inside of the doors. For the inside of the cab I'll use POR-15....and apply it to...

    Cab swap

    I would really rather not cut the VIN out if I can help it. The "new" cab does not have a VIN plate. The yard had to remove it before they could legally sell it to me. After looking it up, I'm 90% confident that I will be OK if I move the VIN because it doesn't fit the elements listed in...

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    Around here, every gas station you go to has the "contains up to 10% ethanol" sticker on the pump. I think that a computer controlled motor will run better for me (or at least more consistantly) no matter what the ethanol percentage is at the pump. If I can't find a 4x4 electronic...

    Cab swap

    Thanks! I found out that one of my Assistant Scoutmasters sells automotive related chemicals and supplies... stuff like POR-15 and something similar to rhino-liner, among others... and he wants to hook me up. So now I'm thinking that, after I get the cab prepped and painted silver (need to...

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    Wow.....I didn't mean to start anything :) I know that the 4L60E's have their weaknesses, but also that they can be made into very good transmissions. Both of my '95 Caprices have Stage III units I got from Carolina Performance Transmission. The '96 tranny I have is stock and...

    Cab swap

    We weren't able to get as much done as we wanted to this weekend due to bunch of other committments, but we did make good progress. We got the cab squared up better on the dolly, which we made from 2x4's and 4" casters I picked up at Home Depot... My buddies removed some interior...
