    True paint code look!

    I'm redoing my RPO to show the new paint codes and trimmings. Confuse future owners with how a 2018 color was used on a 1985 truck from what looks like the factory. :hat:

    My RPO is listed as a ZY3 and was 2-toned at the bottom.

    Cowl clips

    I have been collecting them (when I can) from yards for the last 2-3yrs. Would be a nice thing for someone to 3D print.

    Good reading about zinc and oil

    Watched a vid of a guy that builds 800hp asian motors - this is the only stuff he will use. Found out the guy who built my motor has cases of this stuff on hand - only thing he will use. Its what will break in my motor....vitamin enriched. Zinc + phosphorous...

    Fender antenna debacle

    You can put a power antenna there but you have to get creative about it. Find one from a 4-N wagon - late 80s/early 90s (after that they went to in-glass antennas also). I've sized them up and they fit and work fine. I'm just going with a windshield antenna because the only reason I would need...

    LS 6.0 Runability Issue

    I'm not chasing anything and would never have interest in a 'crate' motor anyways. I think this shop he's talking to is half the problem - they were btchy with him 2 yrs ago because he refused their offer of $100 for the old 6.0 (which was running fine at the time so again I wondered why swap it...

    LS 6.0 Runability Issue

    A buddy of mine has a 2003 2500HD. For some reason he bought a new GM crate motor a couple years ago. Has run perfectly for about 5K then started having rough idle issues. Would start and run fine one time, then start and run rough the next. CE code is the crank position sensor. Shop replaced it...

    Your favorite old car/truck that you regret selling!

    My first and only 'new' car - got it in March of 1984. Was in college and laid off so sold it in 1991. Bought it back 10 yrs to the day in 2001. Had it stored at my Dads - then he passed away unexpectedly and I lost storage, so sold it again to a guy in Dayton. I run the VIN once a year. It was...

    USA1 Vinyl Dye - Actually Dye or Paint?

    I used to use SEM gloss black vinyl on black carpets and even edges of black leather. It wore VERY well - the carpet looked better than new and the seat wore just as the original did. I used gloss because its far thicker than anything else and soaked into the carpet very nice. I had seen plastic...

    USA1 Vinyl Dye - Actually Dye or Paint?

    It wears very well, is an almost perfect match, easy application at a fairly low cost. Cant get much better without reinventing alot of wheels. Only thing I would recommend.....if you think you need 2 cans, buy 4.

    Missing a bit of side molding on my 85 scottsdale...

    You talking about the black with 2 chrome strips? If so, this is what I found (I have the same truck). Once in awhile it appears on ebay too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CLV8LFM/

    Cold Weather Hydraulic Oil

    Any you fellas ever use a cold weather oil in your floor jacks? We're about to get another cold weather cocktail so I swapped my studded snows on - floor jack only wanted to go up about 25% of the way and never felt solid. Its in the 20s so not THAT cold. Just wunnerin if its worth the effort.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    IIRC the Pollack valve (87 style for EFI) comes with a diagram of what port goes where. With one being 3/8 and the other being 5/16, half the work is a given. Biggest PITA I had was making the harness so the switch controls the on-off feature of the in-tank pump as well as an indicator lamp as...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So after a few rounds of 'guess what tank size I have', finally got around to making the new fuel and crossover lines from the Pollack valve. Made a few support stands from some 2" aluminum angle scraps I had.
