    Got it! I was looking at your various applications. Do you plan on doing anything for 62-65 Nova?

    kick panel speaker housings

    I like them a lot and willing to spend some money when I do my stereo. I am definitely naive when it comes to stereos so this is out of my comfort zone but I do plan to reach out to them.

    kick panel speaker housings

    Wow the TPD pieces are nice but definitely not cheap. Why are they $200 more for manual windows???

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Great thread. Kids are smiling in pretty much every picture! I'm hoping to find a clean '92 soon. Long shot, but preferably a '92 Purple Haze Z28 Convertible with 5.7. Almost bought a '91 Z28 with only 8k on it last month. I offered $2500 less than they wanted and they said no. 2 weeks later...

    No line pressure to rear disc conversion, no prop valve

    On my K5, D60/14BFF, I actually mounted my calipers upside down so the p-brake cables went over axle for ground clearance. To bleed, I would remove calipers from bracket and hold upside down with a 2x4 in between to bleed.

    What locker shall I go for?

    If a Detroit Locker is available, I'd go that route. Simple, strong, works incredibly well and lasts practically forever. Downside is that they can be a bit aggressive on a short wheel base as they wind up if you make a bunch of tight turns on street.

    Free Hood Lift System for 1973-1980 Truck

    I would verify that the hood opens all the way with these. They are pretty popular as I see them at shows on a regular basis but if I recall correctly, it restricts the total opening. That's the problem with a lot of billet hood hinges.

    Can the heater core be turned off?

    A previous owner installed valves(3 total) and a bypass loop on my C30. I'm sure it makes a difference but I plan to remove it all pretty soon It looks messy and I like clean and simple.

    85 c30 frame

    I apologize as I am one of the guilty ones that said I'd message you and didn't. I appreciate your willingness to cut some frame and I honestly thought someone was going to take the entire frame off your hands so I didn't pursue as I should have. Thank you for offering it up and again my...

    Vintage air vs. stock dilemma???

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably redo the stock system and do the upgrades. Fortunately my system is complete and semi-functional. I am going to lizardskin the interior and additional insulation. I like the idea of the stock system and always being able to get parts. I was going to buy...

    Vintage air vs. stock dilemma???

    I'm looking to redo the air conditioning in my '90 CC. While I've been in a few vehicles with VA systems, I've never been able to see a SxS or before/ after. The same stock system was used on reg cab, cc, K5, and burbs but burbs got a rear air option. In a reg cab, I wouldn't be too concerned...

    The 1986 bent and bruised C10 SWB

    I used to live in North Fort Worth and I ever so slightly bent the frame on my K5. I had it straightened at a body shop in Watauga or Keller. They did ok but not good enough that I could recommend. Hard to find a true frame shop that only does frames, most are body shops that also do frame...

    Cheap defective aftermarket parts….lol

    I was just looking at Halibrands on Holley's site the other day. Locally, on CL, I've seen a bunch of new Halibrands listed for $800-1000 a set which I thought was a fair price, until I saw the same wheels clearanced on the site significantly less. I check Holley's clearance section every few...

    Rare Hood Ornaments, Wow! $$$$

    Very cool, but too much. There was a rare leather Chevy Bonanza owners manual cover on eBay last year or so and the guy wanted $400. I made a few offers of what I thought was reasonable but always got shot down. I'm the only person that bid on it like 10-15x over a year.

    GMT 400 Suburban dually - info ?

    Any chance it's Argentina? Dany from Digitails is out of Argentina and will build anything you want. He's made me some one off taillights and park lights for my '63 Nova. Multiple colors, sequential, etc.

    GMT 400 Suburban dually - info ?

    Always wanted one. On my bucket list to own. One of these days I'll buy one. Sometimes I buy something I had or wanted as a kid and get bored pretty quick and end up selling though. I think it's a case of in my memories it was a lot cooler. I had a lifted CJ7 as a teen in the 90's and thought it...

    GMT 400 Suburban dually - info ?

    Those taillights are cool. I love buying and installing rare/ different stuff like that. I've seen Squarebody taillights available in solid colors clear, red, and orange used by motorhome manufacturers.

    Went to the candy store today...no sweets today, but...

    That's pretty cool! When I worked at PAW, we never had any demo parts like that. On just about everything, the manufacturers either took the items back monthly/ quarterly or credited us and destroyed on site. I had a friend that worked at Cycle World magazine and his job was to sell/ dispose of...

    1982 C30 looking for 4/6 drop. What did you actually get versus what was advertised?

    If you decide to flip the rear, the only notch on the market for a C30 I'd consider if you still plan to tow/ haul is empire fab.

    Hey...what's the big idea..??

    I've said for years most abandoned projects have a swapped on Holley. Unless it's a racecar, or crazy HP; I think qj's are the best carb. On our C10, I brought the qj core to a dedicated qj shop and for a few hundred he added the car base to the truck top, rebuilds, and tunes on engine stand...

    Recommendation for frame repair PORTLAND, OR

    Are you trying to convert it back to long bed or purely attach the bumper? If trying to convert back you need to add 14" back behind the cab and 5-6" at the rear. If just trying to put bumper on and the shortbed is mounted correctly, some of the holes may already be there and nothing needs to be...

    85 c30 frame

    I'll take some measurements and message you. It's probably about 8-10 inches of frame directly over the axle.
