    Those wind/rain deflector thingys...

    I thought about a heat gun, but I wasn't sure I wanted a bump-out and to get plastic hot enuf to move needs about 300° (considering most plastic molds @ 350° -375°) and that requires gloves. Plastic hot enuf to move will pick up whatever glove pattern the gloves have...cotton fabric weave ot...

    Those wind/rain deflector thingys...

    Last year I got a set of those smoke tinted window things. Read the instructions and carefully positioned them, just right, before peeling off the sticky tape backing. This truck has no A/C so it's always windows down and vents out to the stops....that is until the wing windows now hit those...

    12 bolt didferential gear ratio identification

    My 12 bolt is a 381. I needed to change the fluid and pulled the cover. While in there, I took a photo of the numbers stamped on the ring gear. Never heard of a 381. The 350/350 won't light em up but at 2500rpm, it does 65. And 11mpg with original Qjet.

    Found another Big 10 just down the road.

    I plan on it. The son (about 70 yo) owns it. His dad bought it new to pull a 31' Airstream. He wishes he had the Airstream as well. I would like to get side by side photos. That would be amazing.

    Found another Big 10 just down the road.

    Pulled in to a little mom/pop shop, driving my Big 10. As I'm strolling about, pop comes up and asks me if that Big 10 is mine...certainly it is. He immediatly shows me pictures of his 78 Big 10 Cheyenne. What a georgous light blue with dark blue center panel. It's a 350 with a 350 and also has...

    A Technical Comedy [Only After the Fact]

    My first thought was to just pinch the fuel line from the tank. As for the window crank... Just slip the edge of a shop rag in between the plastic washer/disc and the crank base. Then with just a little tension on the ends of the rag, slowly saw back and forth just as if you are using the edge...

    Any tricks to getting your SB doors to close easier?

    PEX tubing cut to correct length... Fixed both my doors. Now they close with very little effort.

    Need a breather for my 1987 7.4L "N", ideas?

    I would go to a local pull-a-part and stroll the grounds. I woyld be looking for a close match in the "correct bends" category. You might have to trim ends to fit. It should not be that tough to find a tube with the 2 bends you need. You might even luck out and find an exact match.

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    In the newspaper days, it cost a few bucks to place an ad. The quality of the ad is proportionate to the cost to place it. I see so many cl ads that have been up for years. They never reply and have no interest in selling the item. I'm a conspiracy facter, so consider the sourse... You respond...

    Uneven rear main seal, help needed.

    Curious.... Do you have an indicator and a magnetic base.? If so, check the runout on the crank. New parts can be damaged in shipping.

    Front shocks still too squishy...help.

    Shortly after I got the truck, I swapped out all the shocks with Monroe Gas Magnums. Granted it was much better, but the front end still does way too many rebounds after RR tracks or the likes. The rear end is fine. This is a Big 10 with heavy suspension. All original. No lower or lift kit. I...

    AM/FM Radio

    The issue with buying an old stock replacement is most likely the same issue you're having with the original. Some of the components in the radios are diaelectric capacitors. Over time they dry out and go out of tune. The only fix is to replace the caps and whatever else. I had that issue with...
