    Rear wheels on k20?

    I used to run dual Bud wheels on my K20 when it had a 2000# ElDorado cab over. Sold em as it liked to find the barrow ditch come winter.

    Do I need an electric fuel pump!

    Common for carbs that sit for extended periods. Elec. pump as a primer will fix it. Or borrow that little squeeze bulb off one of your chain saws!

    Jack ideas?

    No rear bumper, I simply mate it to the class 4 hitch. Lift the whole rear & block. They’re called widow makers for a reason.

    Ditto, OEM in its home on the PS fender. I do carry a high lift also, its quicker.

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Haven’t looked at a wiring diagram, but what you describe is common misswire in 55-57 chevys at the ignition switch, or a bad ceramic dropping resistor mounted on the firewall. I’m guessing you have an HEI distributor. My wager is on it or its wiring.

    Edelbrock 660 electric choke

    The bi-metallic spring doesn’t care if it expands from electric heat or heat soak from the engine. Which coincidentally is a perfect situation.

    Edelbrock 660 electric choke

    Simply look at the choke plate before starting a warm engine. It should be fully open.

    Where to get quadrajet rebuilt?

    Many years ago I dug in & learned the zen of just how Quadrajets work and their common issues. I never considered jobbing out something that you could learn & do yourself. No dealing with getting screwed. No question about what was done & good insight to any remaining issue. It’s called a man...

    Stuck Hood

    If the hood springs are worn you may need to push the hood forward. Easy to do w/ a couple lengths of wood. Try 2x4.

    Best Flowmaster

    I like it, a lot depends on the length of the tail pipes. A better version would include a lumpy cam

    Best Flowmaster

    Been running 40’s forever. To avoid drone run em straight back & tip down. They bark & growl, but don’t drone.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Pulled & parked the plow off the K20. Officially called the season. Impressed w/ the way Rustoleum Massey Ferguson grey held up for the winter. Filled the temporary tank w/ 90 octane non ethanol & she seems to like it.

    Got me puzzled to say the least

    What was the last thing done to the truck prior to the noise appearing?

    Got me puzzled to say the least

    Pull all belts, alt, AC & try to duplicate. Shouldn’t have any heat shields that are notorious for rattle at specific rpms. Might have a partially collapsed muffler that would account for it.

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    Story today about a beloved 57 Belair stolen in Az. They cased the owners routine, unlocked his gates & winched up on a roll back. Neighbor got the truck on camera. Nothing you can do if they are determined pros. Best is a cheap hidden phone that you or cops can locate.

    I just bought a John Deere tractor!

    If you hook onto anything that acts like it does not want to move, do not give it more throttle. There’s no ROP on these old guys & the front could come up over your head, but it wont stop there.

    Traction Aid for 77 K10

    Somewhat downsized from tractor pull sleds, but the concept is the same. I built a roll in 400# weight sled for severe winter driving. Rolls in from my highway vehicle to my plow truck depending on which needs it. Locks in place w/ a bolt to a nut plate below the bed. An empty PU is at a huge...
