Legality of rolling back an odometer
different states = different 'rules'. i was VERY suprised at the relaxed standards to meet 'historic vehicle' plates here in missouri. i'm NOT complaining of course. :) i guess some states feel if they are going to give you a huge break on licensing fees and/or inspection requirements, they...- WebMonkey

Glove Box Wire
my 85 k20 is an ac truck. it has a 'contoured' glove box pocket and NO wire. the pocket catches the dash opening. you can just get some 'flex wire' and crimp some ring terminals i would guess. good luck -

Passenger side kick panel - what do these parts do?
i'm no expert so take what i say with a grain of salt. the parts you're dealing with 'determine' whether the air source (for your heating or cooling) comes from inside the cab or outside the cab (re circulation or 'fresh' air). the electrical wire/jewel is probably someone's idea of 'custom...- WebMonkey

Front brakes lock up in panic stop
my 85 k20 super double xtra heavy duty (13" drums) has a functional load valve in the rear. as the bed is loaded down, it opens the valve more and more allowing more stop juice to the drums. so, in short, my rear drums don't lock up with no load. good luck to the op, i think the front lock up... -

Best Carbs for Cammed 350
if it were mine, i'd have a rebuilt electric choke quadrajet on it. it is more than capable of flowing what your motor specs require. good luck! :)- WebMonkey

Commuting on a Moto
when it comes to bikes, don't buy one you don't like. :) i wanted a honda 919. test drove half a dozen 'similar' bikes. finally a dealer called me with a new, leftover 919. i test rode, bought, loved. (i'm too old and decrepit to ride now though) good luck!- WebMonkey

Better master cylinder?
are your rear brakes operating correctly? i know an unloaded truck will 'use the fronts' for the bulk of the 'stopping power' but i noticed a difference after rebuilding my rear drum setup. and as above, i'd check my front 'pad' material for slicking. compromised flexible lines etc. good luck! -
Should I make a daily from my "parts truck" 76 GMC....??
i'm going to go against the grain. looks like you have plenty of good projects. i'd sell it to someone that needs/wants to love on it. i get that the $$ isn't an issue but time/space that can be reallocated to another project is worth a lot here. :) good luck! -

Prop valve?
that's what i did. in my 'progress thread', i rebuilt my rear drum brakes. had a cylinder that leaked everything out. after replacing everything on both sides, i opened the front driver's side bleeder wide open and then 'quick stomped' the brake pedal several times and the brake light went... -

Stereo install from new to oem
the radio is a cheapie and super light/short (no high power mosfets/heatsinks) so i didn't use the 'plumber's tape' strapping in the back. the radio slides into a cage. the cage has tabs all around the perimeter that you bend up to lock it into the mounted portion. the radio then slides in and...
