    Its something in the fuse block, I've regained steady lights and it doesn't go off when I hit the brake anymore. I've set up a mirror so I could watch the tail light and wiggled each individual connection, I just cant tell where it is. Everything is so damn old and crusty. Seems to possibly be a...

    I get that...........its something in the fuse panel. I can twist it to and fro and it flickers. I just cant pinpoint what.

    Having hell with the wiring. So yeah, I installed the under dash gauges, then noticed I had a blown fuse on the panel lights. Replaced it, had lights for a while, then didn’t again, but no blown fuse. Reached up under the dash and started jiggling the headlight switch and could’ve sworn the...

    My hubcaps came in! But they are the wrong ones. For a bigger model I guess, c30 idk. And they aren’t NOS, they are repainted $150 wall art now

    Oh but usps lost my two NOS hubcaps I ordered off eBay. Says they are in a PO Box, but I don’t have a key to one in my mailbox lol. Going to the post office first thing in the morning. Hopefully I can get them before I leave Friday.

    Yeah, yeah, been rough, but today was a good day. Got to work up in the hill country by the lake, just gorgeous this time of year with the foliage. Ran a whole tank of gas through my work truck. Looks like we’re going to the Texas Renaissance Festival, Friday and Saturday, which is usually a...

    Once it heats up, finally, it will run without the choke. Yeah, when I takeoff with the choke almost all the way closed I have to open it a bit because it doesn’t want to run obviously. But any amount of sitting, like 10 minutes you have to use the choke again to make it run at idle until it...

    Can I cut this hose and be rid of the tiny weep hole it has? It’s new from LMC, I believe it said it was trimmable Also my new aluminum radiator seems to have a leak. Leaked out a decent amount of coolant on the garage floor last night, somewhere from the bottom left corner.

    I know that’s what’s so weird. It WILL NOT run without it.

    Up until today it’s been 70s to upper 80s, definitely not summer weather as far as here is concerned. But high humidity.

    Spent today sanding three layers of paint off the grill, and bending it back into shape. Someone bent it up on the top all the way across badly. I didn’t realize it wasn’t supposed to be that way until I started looking at pictures online. Went to the paint shop, got a color match on the...

    Honestly the bumper has been so messed up I didn’t care but now that I straightened it out I’ll get some new bolts with the chrome head. I don’t think either side has a bracket

    What Trans for a cummins swap c10?

    To be fair a trans probably has zero idea about mechanics much less how to retrofit an entire engine/drivetrain

    Thanks, and yeah they rot pretty bad there. Thought about finding a decent one and cutting a patch in and maybe it would still mount better. Probably need to loosen up the whole front clip to get things right

    Took the fender that I bent all to hell off and beat the hell out of it. Luckily the whole truck is a **** box so I didn’t need to put any filler on it. This is a reproduction fender, I can tell by the LMC sticker on the inside. It fits mostly great, but not where it counts. Had to really bend...

    Some moron had painted this piece white before I got the truck and after sending most of it off, it just looked like crap compared to the rest of the truck so I decided to sand it all down and redo it.

    I did look at a ton of schematics, but they’re all so goofy You can hardly tell what goes where. All I know is when I reach under the dash and jiggle the hell out of the headlight switch, things start working.

    Doubt it. I was never near the headlight switch, and the fuse for the panel lights was burned out before I started the gauge install. But maybe who knows I only had 2 wheel caps so I was able to find 2 NOS ones that are an exact match for $125 yesterday on Ebay, thatll be good. Need to find a...
