    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Got this yesterday, along with several pieces of antique furniture and 5 vehicle loads of genealogy for an old man I know. He sold one of his houses and told me to get the genealogy and anything else I wanted out of it. It hung on the porch of the old store his grand parents had.

    86 6.2 diesel crank no start

    Been dealing with these IDI diesels since 78, when the old 5.7s came out. We’ve had at least one in the family every since, and I’m fixing an 84 up with a 6.2 that will go back to being my daily driver. I tried to buy the truck new when it hit the lot in Nov 1983, not knowing a buddy had ordered...

    What master cylinder do you have? If original, will the port for the wheel cylinders supply enough fluid for the rear disc calipers?

    Trailer Hitch - Factory Step Bumper

    I’ve got two receiver hitches for squares, one was a factory hitch from my 88 R30, the other I believe is a U haul one I got off a truck in a bone yard, so good used ones are out there. Both came off trucks with factory step bumpers. I need to work on one of them, as I now have a drop bumper...

    Folding outer door skin lip

    Work slow, like bend 1/8” all the way around, then another 1/8” all the way, etc its time consuming, but will help keep from stretching it in spots. (If that makes since. I’m not a body man, so am learning too) Before you hammer it tight, close your door and check gaps, probably won’t have to...

    1995 454 tbi fuel pump & pressure recommendations

    Is the 95 still TBI? Or going carb? If still tbi, you are good with the current pump, as the tbi has the regulator built in it

    350 TBI FUEL PUMP

    I would go with a 1996-up Vortec pump (ep381) because of the flow rate. The original TBI pump (ep386) barely flowed enough to support the 4.3/5.0 engines, much less the 5.7/7.4 engines. And before anyone says “but that is a high pressure pump” remember, the pump is capable of producing a higher...

    350 TBI needs starting fluid

    I just worked on an 88 that was the same, crank with starting fluid and run fine afterwards. On it, it turned out to be a faulty MAP sensor, but I checked all the other systems to make sure none of them had an issue either. To check a MAP sensor - There are 3 wires going to the sensor. 5v...

    Extended Brake Hoses

    When I lifted my 84 k10, I used brake hoses from an 88 c2500 7200lb gvw truck. If I remember right, the fronts were 4” longer than the originals on my 84, and the rear was about 3-1/2” longer. Direct bolt ins and available at most any parts store.
