    Is there a reliable source for dually fenders?

    one thing I notice about the 2002 era pickup trucks running around with the fiberglass flare side bodies. ...some of them are smashed like a dry egg shell. although not rusted to death like a plain steel body, the fiberglass is just brittle after the same 25 years. so getting bumped in...

    Is there a reliable source for dually fenders?

    I would hope there are truck body places that sell used caps, OEM bodies, and utility bodies. around texas,... finding one like this place is in Ohio can be a chore just to hunt down the right search terms, there are some in PA. (traveling to find a great big place like this one maybe...

    17 inch steel wheels- 81 C10 2wd 5/6 static drop.

    E85 conversions considering gas prices

    off topic: but a while ago I had not realized I had not shut the fuel off on a gas generator, and the little gas in the tank was not treated, and had leaked down in the carb bowl. making the idle go up and down. I drew out all the old gas that I could,...added a gallon of 93 octane fresh...

    17 inch steel wheels- 81 C10 2wd 5/6 static drop.

    personally I would look for a 2007-2008 era Chevy alloy rim set,...something typical and easy to find. (when the wheels were similar in bolt pattern / offset to what you got...before the change... and yeah fords / dodges/ gmc,...but I guess you would want to keep the bowties on the center caps...

    1984 Winnebego RV P30 Chassis 454 Th475 and REAR DISK BRAKES.

    Front suspension Jerk

    something like a axle boot that's lost its grease,... maybe a rubber part worn,.. or something installed upside down/ backwards. may need a shop with a smart person that does alignments and is an actual know it all. (as seen it all).

    1984 Winnebego RV P30 Chassis 454 Th475 and REAR DISK BRAKES.

    You'all in the dry states need some rust to fight: save for anything that was having a state DOT commercial truck inspection where they are using and following a checklist as their work can be reviewed immediately by a state trooper inspector at a roadside check point (or after a wreck). ...I...

    1984 Winnebego RV P30 Chassis 454 Th475 and REAR DISK BRAKES.

    old school idea for parking brakes: hydraulic parking brake. (cheap / nice for big weird things, and projects that just need a brake but are stuck without drums that can hold, and have not gotten air, or an automatic transmission to put into "park")

    Failed smog on 1988 with 350 TBI

    someone with better ideas may say something,... I wonder if bigger newer things like cats made for a 1990s 454, or the mighty 8.1 etc. would gobble up the stink . (just with more cat material).

    Failed smog on 1988 with 350 TBI

    if this is california,...the Leno Law = still a unsurpassed Bill. (...Leno Bill, one of the things I have seen on it concerns those vehicles that are more than 35 plus years old....so a 1988 is now 38 years old,...) I really wonder how many classic cars leave California, due to this. I live...
