Brake drum adjusting hole cover
Ya but have you seen his rig? Unlikely he’s cooking the brakes down a hill. And if he does, new plugs are $3 a piece and the least of the issues that day!- Grit dog

Old school hub caps
Search local for sale parts on CL and FB too. In the PNW at least, there are quite a few out there for sale. And the Chevy 5&6 spoke solid caps like you posted are the most common and reasonably priced. Because there were orders magnitude more produced than other. 4wd front caps are less...- Grit dog

454 Timing
The good news is it’s easy to adjust and see if there’s anything left on the table. But my theory with non hi performance engines. Especially old ones with old parts is if it runs good, starts easy, doesn’t backfire out either end, doesn’t ping and doesn’t diesel then it’s just right.- Grit dog

Vapor Barrier behind new door panels?
Gotcha. Sound deadening material. I was trying to equate what you were saying to this thread about vapor/wind barrier. I had no idea they used to make an adhesive piece of plastic like you posted above. Makes sense, the 86 has air coming thru the drivers door handle. Odd that it’s only that door... -
Lund Visor’s…if ya got one how did you install it?
If I had the time, at the time, I would have used nut serts to reinstall the visor on the 86. As it was I got some larger stainless screws and some rubber washers and a little rtv and just screwed it back down thru the existing holes. Some with redneck helicoils. (A piece of copper wire to help...- Grit dog

454 Timing
Have you actually checked the timing? Not sure what you’re looking for here. Like the guys above said, the right timing is the right timing and that differs based on a dozen different things. Base timing is one thing. Total advance and timing curve is completely different and also or even more...- Grit dog

No it’s a low option Bighorn with night package. ( black emblems and wheels) It’s just smooth. Engine feels the same as 4th gen deleted SO with a tune. Hard to tell it’s fast because there’s no fanfare and little noise.- Grit dog

No koolaid here. Best overall price between WA, OR, ID and UT dealers. Coulda done $3k better with WA resident incentives but couldn’t title it in MT with my son if I bought in WA. Overall it was the best deal by far (including lack of sales tax). I hate dealing with car dealers in general and...- Grit dog

Me and the kids have had a thing for Nardo gray for a while. Ram calls it Ceramic gray. There is no std/HO/68/Aisin anymore. All HO with 8speed ZF trans. 3.42 only gears. Med duty Powerline not 8HP but it drives and shift like a 8HP. Like butter!- Grit dog

Vapor Barrier behind new door panels?
What exactly are yall trying to accomplish by hanging a piece of plastic inside the other piece of plastic? (The door panel). Trying to figure out the roi on something like this. Seems pointless imo. -
Stone shields for front of rear wheel 1986 K10
I’m sure you’re looking for the look or appearance but if you can’t find any that fit right, you could maybe get the look and protection with some chrome/stainless vinyl wrap and then top it with clear film if wanting protection too.- Grit dog
