How To Refurbish Your Dashpad
Great procedure. I think I will try it. I like your tach placement -
Don't really know where to put this, but have any of y'all ever had to get a bonded title, and how big of a pain is it?
In Colorado it is a PITA. My car was a BMW 2002 Tii that was partially restored and my customer brought it to me to finish, then he stopped paying. Turns out, he didn't own it and had no paperwork (He had vanished by then) I had to put ads in the paper to find last owner, who I could never... -
What new tools have you got lately?
I need one of those grease gun hose holders. I think I have every tool, but not one of those. Always curse at my grease guns for popping off and dripping. Well, I guess thats life! -
Things I never thought would happen
There are 2 kinds of vehicles..Ones that get unreliable and end up being put to pasture in one way or the other. And, then there are cars and trucks that you work on the little things and they keep getting better and better. My C10 "Ralph" keeps getting better with small bits of effort that make... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Found the rattle! After quieting the cab with dynamat, sealing the vent window with a new latch kit, I still had this big rattle in the parking brake mechanism. Looked and looked, and finally found the parking brake ratchet mechanism was loose. Three bolts total, 2 that go to the firewall, and... -

New motor... from 250 to 350
well, the motor was going to need a full rebuild too, so I backed out. Thanks for the help. Perhaps someone has a good non- integral 6 cylinder head for the present 250-6- justhorns

New motor... from 250 to 350
I ran across a good built 350 for $1000. My truck is a base 6 cylinder 1981 that runs good, on an original 6 cylinder with 80,000 miles on it. I'm the second owner and bought from a friend who was the first. So, if I get the motor what upgrades must be done... Tires, wheels, rear locker in my...- justhorns

turn signal issue
I had a socket with a bad ground. The socket itself was bad. I rebuilt the socket with a good ground wire and the problem was solved. I then replaced the repaired socket with a new one.- justhorns

I don't think so.. You may still have a clutch problem. -
What have you done to your square lately??
So, when I had the seat out, I took my excess, on the shelf left over dynamat kinda stuff and insulated the back wall and under the seat, as much as I could. Been driving with the new seat and really like how much quieter it is. So, now I can really hear the loose vent window whistle as I go... -
Favorite Project Truck Sales Pitches
Car is all original and straight. (It was as ripply as water on a windy day) No rust anywhere! (that you can see. Entire car behind A pillar was covered with mounds of bondo and a cheap paint job. It had new fenders and hood up front) Oh, headlights were in upside down.. -
Brake line, opinions needed.
I do it professionally and make my own to fit. You only need a good bender (cheap) and a great double flare tool (not so cheap). Prebent long lines come bent into knots to ship them..don't use stainless line, as it is too hard for home tools. A good flare tool has dies and a fixture that is held... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Yes indeed. Both side of the framing of the bed. Heavy plates above and below the bed floor with 4 large bolts through. I think it came with angle iron for underneath the bed. -
Multimeters?
OK guys. We're car guys (and gals I hope) but, none of your meters to tach/dwell functions. The Innova and Actron are both automotive meters, and my Milwakee in the middle. I also have a Fluke 77. Years ago I traded my high eng fluke for the 77 as the tech who had the 77 was much smarter than... -

A Crane! This was a good addition to my pickup. Use it only occasionally, mostly for moving engines. I bought this cheap harper frought crane and bolted it into the bed. Handy. No issues, it does what its supposed to do. Removing the tailgate is easy if needed, but not mandatory. Also, I use a... -
What have you done to your square lately??
While I'm waiting for the seat to come back, I had this on the shelf.. Generic Dynamat works as good as the original, and after years and years, It may in fact come off if you wish. quieter already!
