    Dually Fender Attachment

    That truck was totaled years ago when a mustang made a left turn in front of me. Just happened to have pics archived.

    Dually Fender Attachment

    This is probably the best view of how they work. My fenders were trashed and I took a sawzall to it before unbolting them. Studs thread into the flare, then the flare gets bolted to the fender. Mounting options depend largely on what flare you are planning on using.

    AN fuel line kits

    Plumbed 3 vehicles almost completely in steel and nylon braided AN lines, and plan to do at least 3 more. Done a few PTFE lined lines as well. NHRA rules require fuel systems to be hard line, steel braided or NHRA-accepted “woven or woven-pushlock.” They're all track legal cars, so that's why...

    I really like this steering wheel!

    For anything except an autocross truck, I think it looks ridiculous.

    Gus threw us for a loop by saying you had a 'burb. :Big Laugh:

    Seat frame Question.....

    I wonder if there's a corresponding notch or something in the seatbelt mechanism down there.

    Seat frame Question.....

    If you look down, it looks like it could swing forward and grab a little protrusion at the bottom of the bracket? Looks like they should be pointed down and forward.

    Seat frame Question.....

    That's why I asked. Suburban seats don't fold forward.

    Seat frame Question.....

    My '78 'burb has nothing like that. Do those seats fold forward?

    Door Panel Trim

    Maybe a set of reproduction silver with adhesive vinyl covering the middle? They make it in a lot of different textures.

    1979 250 ci I6 heat studs - information requested - head studs or bolts?

    I would just throw a new stud at it and get it running. Can do a whole new set later. Lots of places to get grade 8 studs.

    4l80e conversion in 1985 suburban. What parts do I need?

    The one I listed uses dip switches and accepts the signal coming directly out of the VSS and I suspect the output of many different control systems. We are using a US Shift controller to drive the sensor and using their VSS out to drive the box. Only a few buck more than the other unit...

    4l80e conversion in 1985 suburban. What parts do I need?

    To keep the mechanical speedo, you need a driver. I just installed one of these on a '72. https://www.moderndriveline.com/shop/electric-to-mechanical-speedo-converter-with-58-screw-on-connector/ The linkage on the 4L80 is further back than the TH350/TH400. For the '72 we just had to move...

    edelbrock fuel line leak. Anyone else?

    ^This. Copper is the way to go. Plastic will always eventually leak. I had the same exact issue.

    Tailgate security solution needed

    You could use stepside latch pins. Just one side would deter most people. https://www.lmctruck.com/body-components/bed-tailgate/cc-hidden-tailgate-latch-kit
