    Drive shaft rubbing "Y" pipe

    Cut it out... (No really... cut it out...). The Y-Pipe is the worst design exhaust ever. It scavanges very poorly. The restriction on the passenger side head flow is enormous. Somebody got creative with the pipe added going down the passenger side, cut into the Y-Pipe. So you don't neet to...

    I need help and to know what this truck is worth

    What if it is stolen? Is it worth an arraignment? Call the Sheriff and ask them to inspect the VIN in person and clear is not stolen in the state you intend to title it. Charge $1000.00 to remove it and for the frustration re-titling. It will suck, family members will be contacted... Claims...

    Ignition issues, Truck Continues Running After Twisting Key to Off Position

    Remove the 4 bolts under your column and carefully drop the assembly. The wheel will fall just enough to expose a white, gray, black or blue plastic mechanism which connects to a rod up your column. You can search for the column diagram for the year of your truck. The switches get dirt into the...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Repent sinner! Turn yourself in for the reward! (funnin). Where's my $10.00? My 10 year rigging partner had the LSU boots they gave Rod Stuart! LSU is some funky folks! (Never fit me though... Guess they were made for somebody else with little tiny feet). "Reclamation is institutionally...

    Needs Rescuing Good Parts Truck Deep in the NE Texas Woods

    Agreed. My bad for not recognizing the drop... So many people tow with improper leveled hitches... really bothers me here on the ranch too. Towing with only the rear axles hitting dirt, with the equalizers maxed out... breaking the suspension, as if it doesn't matter... Makes me sick... TBH...

    Needs Rescuing Good Parts Truck Deep in the NE Texas Woods

    y Bailey's is cool too... they should have welded the name on the bumper, in my humble opinion... The bi-metal sticker (if that's what it is...) kinda insults me is all... If it's painted on then pardon me for guessing wrong... Thousands of GM trucks came with a dealership welded logo...

    Gov loc differential???

    That's a stinky puddle Catbox. Here' the mobile crapper you'll want when you see the Catbox 90w river, Rusty... Look close, the crapper has wheels... Answer's the age old question: "Bear does NOT poop in the woods." He craps in a baby blue Grumman Bread Truck, with a GM Straight Six.

    After market seatbelts are expensive... looking for other ideas

    Cool. Please do not install modern activated belts and think they will work without the computer control system and the activation mechanisms. They won't. You'll get hurt. Bad idea... NONO

    After market seatbelts are expensive... looking for other ideas

    That's right. 5 years. Just like tires. This is why the longest manufaturure's warranty on a US vehicle is 5 years. That, is technically the life of your vehicle. After that your rig was supposed to go into old number 5 and become a battleship. (#5 is the gigantic steel forge in Ohio). Provided...

    After market seatbelts are expensive... looking for other ideas

    It's complicated. I may not be more intelligent than you... but I'll try to answer as best I can. The firing system is powder active and is very dangerous in modern seat belts. Many older trucks, which have been in accidents, have had the firing igniter's triggered. The really old trucks, don't...
