    What new tools have you got lately?

    Made a simply yet elagant dent puller. Used an ancient chuck from a B&D 3/8 drill. It will get a workout tomorrow. Mig weld small nails to the dent, chuck it up and slap the slide.

    Vinyl wrap is a lot harder than it looks on YouTube. Lol

    Curious if you tried wrap in direct sun or w/ the use of a hair drier on corners.

    Brake Confusion

    Possibke cause for intermittent loss of brakes could be boiling fluid. Happens when lines are run close to headers or exhaust pipes.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Simple repurpose. Got around to a little detailing. All chrome door bits are badly pitted. In the process of dealing w/ that it needed new plastic behind the window cranks. Folgers coffee plastic tops for the N/C win.

    Busted ball joint boot

    Used to maintain a fleet of Subaru's. Got to the point of being able to replace boots almost blindfolded. Big prybars, hammers & jacks were all that was required. Lots of truck speedy boots available for quick fix. Ive found them to have short lives.

    Anyone vinyl wrapped their truck?

    A talented wrapper can manage very intricate convolutes. I’m not in that category, but managed to do pretty decent on the tight radius of trim. The center piece is a chrome wrap on copper fab.

    Anyone vinyl wrapped their truck?

    Employed wrap in strategic areas on a tri five. I would think the square bodies would be easier as there are minimal compound curves.

    Mangled Bolt Top Shock Mount?

    FYI just pulled my old Gabriel adjustables from the rear. Just for clean up as long as I was doing brakes. Bushings were toast. Gabriel does not offer replacement bushings, but Summit Racing has a great selection based on dimensions.

    Identify which rear drum brakes

    FYI on FF axles. If you intend to have a shop turn the drums you'll need to press out the wheel studs and the hub so the drum can be mounted in their lathe. Lucked out on my 11” drums. Still had enough to remain in spec. Waiting on hardware & shoes from LMC. If not a good circumference match to...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Pulled the full floating axles today to inspect the brakes. Less than 1/16” left on the riveted shoes. Fairly sure drums are original so a clean up cut might be enough. Both wheel cylinders are leaking & everything is a sticky mess. All that is except for the black widow that was calling the...

    A little info about wrench sizes

    Those minor discrepancies came to light for truck owners w/ the F150s. Fueled a storm of aftermarket lug nut sales.

    Wheel bearing problems… please help!

    Occasionally you’ll find backing off the castellated nut leaves undesirable looseness. Spindle bearing shims are the answer.

    Flatbed to truck bed swap

    I ran duely bud wheels for a few years on a K20. Simple painted roof flashing screwed to the fender lips looked great as extended fenders.
