    Dana 60 spindle nuts

    It doesn't really matter but, IMO, it looks like someone has put a nut set off a (full floater) rear axle on your D60 (assuming you're working on a front axle). Just a different way to skin a cat. The only reason they wouldn't work is if there wasn't enough spindle threads for complete...

    Needs MORE POWER!!! (Tim Taylor Style!!!)

    Are you sure the 400 is above stock? I don't believe they were big power makers in stock form.

    Needs MORE POWER!!! (Tim Taylor Style!!!)

    You don't have to pull the heads to swap the cam or lifters. You said you have an intermittent lifter issue, what is it? Assuming the cam and lifters are healthy, I would be very careful with disturbing the valvetrain. In the last 10 years or so flat tappet cams have become more and more...

    Yeah, I'd like to add a bit more lift (1.25" body lift, maybe) and full cage kit.

    1983 chevy k30 dually width

    Overall width can vary based on tire size. A cab & chassis axle is 63” from wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface, a pick up dually is 74”.

    1983 chevy k30 dually width

    No, a C&C is a truck with no bed from the factory. Fleet type sales trucks that might get wrecker or tool body beds, etc this is why the rear axle is narrower than a pick up dually. These can come in various wheelbases longer than a typical long bed pick up and the frame is shaped differently.

    I think a rod spun a bearing in my rebuilt 454

    That's a Gen V block which was a short run design. I prefer Mark IV stuff because of the massive aftermarket support, probably more than the other two. Opinions will differ but if I didn't use a Mark IV I'd get a Gen 6 if nothing else for the better (but not direct) compatibility of the aluminum...

    Great news! If you're stepping up the internal parts check in drilling the block for the other main bolts.

    bulkhead fitting sludge

    The bulkhead plug in my ‘91 had a similar black goo. I have no idea what it is but I’ve read about other people finding it so I’m guessing it’s a factory conductive or anti corrosion product.

    Full 1980 square headlight set up.

    3-4 years ago I would have said a couple of hundred but everything is crazy now. If the bezels are OE metal and not plastic that adds a fair amount to the value plus as far as I know the 80 chrome grille isn’t reproduced.

    I think a rod spun a bearing in my rebuilt 454

    It’s not that easy. Throwing a bearing in it might make it quiet for a minute but you haven’t diagnosed the reason for the failure. If you don’t fix the root of the problem it will happen again and next time might damage more parts.

    1" ORD body lift

    Not long after he started powder coating he required all of his products to be done in gloss black, different colors or bare metal were extra. When I bought my sliders I wanted bare but it he told me it would be $50 extra, I went with the standard gloss black.

    Longer wheel studs

    A buddy of mine used some adapters from Arrowcraft, really high quality spacers - far from cheap though.

    Longer wheel studs

    I’ve never read of anyone finding longer studs for a D70HD, the factory ones are longer than a SRW axle. You probably need a spacer with a combo of holes and studs to bolt on between the rear tires. The trick there is the spacer needs to be a high quality piece, not a cheap chinesium part off...

    Installing modern seats in an older rig?

    My driver seat was electric and the passenger seat had a weight sensor for the airbag. I swapped the one to a manual track and removed the weight bladder, I wanted everything to be simple and no wiring.

    Installing modern seats in an older rig?

    It’ll depend on your floor. The floor in my 91 Blazer is flat from the pedals to the step up at the front of the rear seat which made it as easy as drilling 4 holes for each seat. I know floors are raised under the seats, I’m not sure about earlier Blazers but that could make the seat feel too high.

    Installing modern seats in an older rig?

    I have 05 Silverado front seats and a 00-07 Tahoe 3rd row for the rear. For the front, the difficulty level is easy. Of course, the bolt patterns don’t match so you’ll need to drill holes to bolt them down. The rear could be tricky because of the latches on the bottom of the seat that are...

    1" ORD body lift

    I have an ORD 1” body lift on my Blazer. I did have to trim the bottom of the fan shroud and the steering shaft does want to extend a little so the plastic plugs in the overlapping joint need to be drilled / melted out (there’s plenty of overlap, no danger of it falling apart). With only a 1”...
