    Wood Bed Conversion

    What you are looking at doing is a serious amount of fabrication. None of my measurements would be the same since mine is a factory wood floor and uses different front and rear panel and has the flanges. Also different cross rails/ supports If I were to convert a steel floor to wood, I think...

    Wood Bed Conversion

    What dimensions are you looking for? I guess my real question is how are you trying to adapt the wood floor? There is going to be a lot of fabrication involved unless there is a kit that I don't know about. I know you referenced MarK but if you could provide a link. With wood being thicker than...

    How much are these parts worth?

    I'd still list it as opposed to scrapping it right away. Just know it has very little value unless someone needs it right then and there.

    How much are these parts worth?

    I agree with Grit. I listed the stock C10 suspension with brakes for $50 for 2 weeks, $25 for 2 weeks, free for a month and never got a hit. Went to scrap. Did the same thing a few months ago for our S10 build and again it went for scrap. I listed on both CL and offer up and offer up you can see...

    Mar-K Truck Toolbox for Stepside

    I have one like this for my C30 but it is big enough to climb inside and takes a lot of space. I'd like to mount a smaller version that is on risers so I can slide a sheet of wood under but yet still sit below rails

    Mar-K Truck Toolbox for Stepside

    I just want to haul a few tools and misc items while I'm traveling/ car shows. I've considered the Mar-K one for my C10 fleetside and also just using an old metal Coleman cooler and painting it to match the truck and mounting it for storage. I've come across a few old coolers but they all have...

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    I installed a 14BFF in my Jimmy(K5) along with disc brakes. I mounted my calipers upside down with the left on the right, right on left. This allowed the cables to go over the axle and not snag and additional few inches of slack. To bleed, I'd unbolt and turn the bleeder up and put a small...

    Steering column Pivot pin

    The other thing I am thinking is if you might end up needing a new column regardless, you could also jb weld it in. I just don't want you to jeopardize yours or anyone's safety if anything were to fail.

    Steering column Pivot pin

    Typically on a lathe, however I worked at a shop when I was a kid that had a rollers that went between a vise for threaded inserts and a special set-up for pistons. I would bring the pin to a gunsmith and see if they can do it. You might try putting the pin between 2 files on a vise. All you...

    Steering column Pivot pin

    Does it go in too easily? If the hole is too loose you can knurl the pin.

    Replacement doors?

    What part of PHX? Adam in Apache Junction, Trucking Crazy on East side as well, John in Peoria all usually have good used doors from 80+ Burb part outs. Trucking Crazy also stocks rebuilt vent window assemblies. For new LMC quality parts, The Chrome Guy in Glendale stocks a lot of 67-72, 73-87.

    67 Mile V10

    And why a repop sticker when you bought the car fully knowing you were never going to drive it. You'd have kept the original.

    67 Mile V10

    Question...is that the stock rear bumper??? If not, I find it odd that someone would buy a vehicle knowing they plan to never drive it and keep as collector vehicles yet swap rear bumpers and remove all the protective plastic. Used to see a lot of auctions for Buick GN's with no miles and all...

    fixing hood hinges

    Have you cleaned and greased the hinges? I've had that be the source of problems more than once. Also, I know you have the LMC braces but there is another brace from Holley/ brothers that saddles the weak spot and is better.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    We built this motor over 20 years ago and I wanted to pull it apart to check it out, clean, paint, etc. Took me over an hour to pull the pan off as the 1 piece seal had RTV on both sides and I was trying to keep the pan rails straight and not damage the pan paint. Motor looks good though.

    K5 Blazer values… possibly buying 86 k5

    I think that's a fair price. It looks complete and unmolested. You don't have to undo someone else's "improvements"

    Coco floor mats?

    They look nice and am interested in how they turn out if you get a set. There is also Dojamat that I am considering

    T-tops for C10

    I 100% agree with you. For $500 I'd buy them but really don't know if I'd ever use them. I don't think they'd work in a Blazer as the inner roof was different as it has more roll over protection.

    T-tops for C10

    I googled 10 different ways and couldn't find any images. Not something I would do but I was interested to see what it looks like.
