    Dually Fender Attachment

    Can I buy the gap covers from you? Those are like hens teeth too. The piece that bolts over the cut bedside and follows the contour of the wheelhouse.

    Dually Fender Attachment

    Yes to bucket. I’ve been doing my homework and probably won’t get to the actual project for months or years, but I am aware of the cutting required. I found these on eBay. They may serve the purpose.

    Dually Fender Attachment

    Here’s what one looks like. From the web.

    Dually Fender Attachment

    Factory way was a coarse threaded stud that threaded into the bedside. I don’t have a picture handy but they aren’t reproduced that I know of. I like the insert idea offered above. That would preserve removability and still hold well.

    I really like this idea.

    Dually Fender Attachment

    Here’s a question for any dually gurus. I’m going to be converting a regular longbed to a dually. Already have some fenders. The truck is a SRW converted to DRW many years ago, and I acquired it without a bed. It’s a 4x4 gmc 3500. I do not have the fender to bed side anchors, and as I look...

    80 C10 "Nemo" Build - Started as: Front frame buckled…

    Long story short on this project is that I ended up with temporary shop space that was more like storage... I didn't advance the project for a year, then ended up with a knee replacement and other parts of life taking over. I'm now getting back to working on this thing and hope to move it along...

    I have had good success with a delco brand R4 I bought new about 3 years ago.

    Adapting a flatbed to a 1981 gmc 3500 / k30

    Ok, I’m thinking it was not in fact a cab and chassis. I wasn’t educated on the topic and it sounds like c&c has flat rails. Mine has humps in the frame rails. Any hints on adaptability of flatbeds to it?

    Adapting a flatbed to a 1981 gmc 3500 / k30

    Hey everybody: I have a 1981 gmc 3500 that I’m pretty sure was a cab and chassis. It has no bed on the back. It was a srw truck that has been converted to drw sometime in its life. Question I have is this: I want to put a flat bed on it, but am new to that game. Can I generally adapt any...

    Very fast idle on start

    If it runs fine after warm, then start with the obvious: is the fast idle screw too high? Thats the idle screw that contacts the cam on the choke linkage.

    Help: 85 305 Suddenly Stalling in Gear

    That is a great resource. I will still use it to fix my old distributor if I ever get around to it.

    Biggest jobs you have completed in the shortest amount of time.

    Most "big jobs done quickly" are because you actually need the truck by morning. I haven't had that problem, so pretty much every project I do takes two or three times as long as necessary. Usually, it's because I decide to do a brake job and end up in a front-end rebuild "just because." I...

    Help: 85 305 Suddenly Stalling in Gear

    Opening up this thread to close it again. Stalling started again. Removed EGR, no problem with it. It was a placebo. I guess I jiggled it last time and the engine came back to life at the same time but not because of. Lost all fire to plugs. Suspected pickup coil this time. Swapped out...
