    T-tops for C10

    Anyone ever see a square body with T-tops? Saw this ad in a newsletter and it sparked my curiosity. I emailed but haven't heard back.

    Bed mounting hardware for short box step side.

    If you are redoing the wood and want something custom...you can use bolts from the bottom and put nuts on the cross rails for a clean look. I did that on our 77.

    Bed mounting hardware for short box step side.

    I tried a few years ago to tell LMC a simple part was wrong and I gave up. The part was a $1 nut that was supposed to be fine thread and they mispackaged it with coarse. I was just trying to help them out so customers wouldn't be upset. They wanted pictures, documentation, etc. I told them to...

    Differences in dash metal by radio cutout?

    The bezel is not reproduced at this time however they are regularly available in good used condition as they are essentially the newest bezel made and in low demand as only used on those years. I have a couple woodgrain and silver faced. I'm looking for a plain black style.

    Really tight front brakes!

    I think I'd take the calipers back off and take a good look at everything. Recheck wheel bearing tightness. Clean and compress pistons and reinstall and see if it improves. Piston should be slow but steady when compressing similar to compressing a shock. If your calipers physically look good...

    Rochester Quadrajet Woes

    If, after you've sorted everything else out, you still want to buy a new carb...check out carburetors unlimited in Peoria, AZ. He only does Quads and been in business 40-50 years. I'm very happy with his work.

    Lower ball joint tool

    Yeahhhh, didn't catch the Finland part. I haven't had the best of luck with Vevor. I've ordered 3-5 items from them and 2 items have been missing major parts. They said they would ship the missing pieces but then they never do and give some money back and a coupon for 5-10% off. Shipping back...

    Lower ball joint tool

    You can probably rent it for free at O'Reilly's, AutoZone, etc. I have the OTC version and it works great. Also use it for U-Joints.

    Rockauto Discount code?

    They are for 5% off. They used to send an email about once a quarter to customers and/or they were easy to Google and find. Now I get maybe 2 a year emailed to me and they have shorter time-frames of usability. RA has saved me a ton of money over the years so I still buy pretty regularly but...

    Thread sealant on header bolts?

    Always anti-seize on the bolts. Ways to keep them tight: Frequent retorque Bolts that have cam locks Washers with fold over tabs Drill the bolt heads and use lock wire Do not use lock washers!

    Ultra Grey jip

    I bought a tube of grey last week and it was $10. Just a few years ago I was paying $4. That is a huge increase.

    Dino's GM truck show Nov. 15 - 16

    Normally I go on Fridays as it's only trucks and more of the diehard crowd, but once again my job gets in the way of fun so now I plan to go on Saturday and actually stay for all the drawings. The following weekend is the Scottsdale Goodguy's which I plan to attend as well. And nope, none of my...

    NEW Brothers Dash Bezels - CHEAP

    The seller is Super Shops which was a large performance chain in the 80/90's. I think they owned Mallory Ignition. Probably the biggest BFGoodrich dealer at that time. Home of the $29.99 Bfgoodrich radial. Based on their inventory and location of Bowling Green,I suspect that they are owned or...

    Thoughts on how to recover from a slightly cross threaded spark plug threads in head?

    All good advice here. One additional thing I do is put the engine on exhaust stroke and put an open airline in the exhaust pipe so any trash is blown out.

    Column Gear Shift Detent

    Both of my trucks have 700r4's and no detent was changed and they work fine. I just swapped the indicators. I had one column rebuilt and 99% sure they said they were the same detents. Only power glides require a different detent IIRC.

    Column Gear Shift Detent

    Good info. I think I always set in D and tighten it but really can't recall. I'll do it in N going forward

    What year tailgate is this??

    If I recall, there is 4 or 5 different variations of the tailgate hinge/ latches from 73-87(91). I collected about 10 tailgates a few years back for a man cave/ bench product I was going to do and was surprised to see all the variations in that functional area plus the different GMC/ Chevrolet...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    I know I already mentioned it but if you don't know about these, definitely worth your time to research. Makes your truck ride super smooth empty or loaded. They used to be made by BFGoodrich and I think Goodyear at one point for Buses and HD trucks. Everyone I know that has installed these all...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    Assuming the suspension is in good shape and doesn't require repairs... I'd start by buying some Sulastic or velvet ride shackles. They will smooth out the ride immensely when running empty. One hour install.
