    Cab light question

    Do the LED bulbs just plug and play into the sockets I have?

    Cab light question

    Thanks for the info. Rusty and Snoots. This is why I asked in the first place. The options I mentioned above were just the bulbs that were the same physical size and design, and none of them said 12 volts. They had a ton of other options that were physically different. For example the #67...

    Cab light question

    Ok, so stupid question of the day. I went today to get new bulbs just to replace them all. Was kind of shocked to see there was about 8 different varieties of bulbs that had the same end on them. The single "knob" on the end and the two ears/nipples on the side. All had slightly different...

    Cab light question

    So after a year of looking at the cab lights I finally decided today to mess with them. As expected was a ground issue. I got a scrap wire and ran it from a ground to each light and they all lit up (except for one). The bulb was bad in that one, but I still think it has an issue (which is...

    Headlights quit working

    I don't know much about wiring and vehicles but the one thing I have learned over the years of owning a square body is that most of these issues are ground related. My tail and break lights both stopped working last year. Upon pulling the lenses one of the ground wires was broke and it was fixed...

    350 dipstick tube

    So if I replace, do the new ones just press in or seal somehow? I should have mentioned the truck probably hasn’t had 5-7,000 miles on it during that time…

    350 dipstick tube

    I've owned my truck for around 20 years and the dipstick tube has always been loose. Being lazy I have always jut put slight pressure on it when pulling the dipstick out so the tube doesn't come out. It's never leaked or caused an issue but after changing the oil today I asked myself why...

    Oil filter part number

    My truck has a 1977 350 in it. I am planning to switch to WIX or NAPA Gold oil filter. Anyone have the part number handy for either of those filters. Last oil change I did, I was in a pinch and Fram was the only option. Never been a fan of those.

    Who sells the best fitting dash pad. Time for a new one

    I called around to have mine re-done, then tried to re do it myself (didn't work out), and ended up getting mine from Truck parts in Cali. Seems every aftermarket company you order from is going to be luck of the draw. I happened to get a good one, needed some slight trimming, but for a nice...

    Carpet colors?

    When I was looking for carpet I noticed a lot of what was sold on amazon was ACC brand once I looked into it. Seems to be one of the most common auto carpet manufacturers, so just a matter of finding which retailer you want to use. When I ordered mine last year Rock Auto was cheapest.

    Cab light question

    Any way to find the thread size on the bolts that hold the cover to the housing on these Deitz lights? I went to put the covers back on and they weren't screwing in. I looked and all the bolts are stripped at the end. Whenever they were put on, wrong size bolts must have been forced in and...

    Cab light question

    I texted the guy who painted my truck a while back and he did say they had the light housing off the cab when they painted them and they did not just tape them off. I am guessing they are not grounded. I just need some free time now, kids, work, coaching, etc....

    Cab light question

    And no I haven't gotten them fixed. Basically haven't had time to go to the neighbors house who is going to help me figure it out. Electrical is just not my thing.

    Best Spent $$ for Square Restoration

    I've learned during my research that a lot of the aftermarket parts are either exactly the same, or almost the same no matter where you buy them from. There are only a couple places actually manufacturing these items and lots of places selling them. For example, a big majority of the places...

    Cab light question

    Thanks, the housing and placement of mine to not look the same as yours. Seems like a lot of work to mount marker lights like that with the wiring run the way it is. Is it an add on you guys see very often? If someone had just dropped the headliner and wired it that way I could see, but...

    Cab light question

    I haven’t had time to mess with the lights yet. Curious though, are you saying they are not stick based on the light itself or the location. Just curious if I am likely dealing with factory wiring and aftermarket assemblies or if you can tell based on the location that the wiring and lights are...

    LMC Parts

    I've bought quite a bit of stuff for my square over the yeas. It seems to me that a majority of the stuff is either made by the same overseas company, or is of similar quality no matter where you buy it. So it comes down to cost, shipping, and customer service. Last year when I ordered my...

    What plans do you have for your trucks

    The times I do drive my truck my wife always asks why I am driving it. I almost always have to put at least 20.00 in it no matter where I go.

    73-80 LMC Dash Pad

    I just bought a a dash from truck parts a month ago for my 86 4x4. It was 350.00 plus 80.00 shipping to Indiana. 430 total to my door....It was frustrating when I saw the price compared to their online catalogue, but overall I was pleased with my purchase from them. Sounds like I might have...
