    I would start with the temp sensor since that's what's controlling the fans.

    Front indicators alternating when headlights on

    What would be the point? They are ungrounded by design so that they flash on and off.

    Front indicators alternating when headlights on

    As stated, it is correct. It has to do with the fact that the side marker lights don't have their own ground, they are powered through the front turn signal bulbs. So when the parking lights are on, and the turn signal is activated, the side marker light goes out when the front turn signal...

    Suspension rebuild

    I used Performance Online upper and lower tubular control arms with stock height springs. I assembled it first with the shims that were in the original upper arms. Way too much camber. Then I went with zero shims, just the spacer they came with. I still had too much camber. Then I realized they...

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    It's $100 a year for the hourly location update subscription, plus a one time $150 to buy the tracker. That would put off some people. But for the amount of money and sentimental value I have into my truck that I've had since I was 14yo the peace of mind is well worth it to me not to worry about...

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    What you're describing is an aftermarket electric parking brake. https://www.ebay.com/itm/123134844773 I have one on my truck because I wanted to eliminate the pedal and all the attached cable nonsense. Works great, I didn't install it for theft prevention but it certainly helps. I also have...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That's the same wheel I have in my truck. It's off the 1978 Camaro I bought for $400 as my transportation while building my truck (the first time) in high school in 1994. The steering wheel is the one thing I kept from the Camaro before it went to the crusher. I love that it's the same wheel my...

    Fresh oil

    I just did a fresh oil change with Mobil 1. Within an hour, my cholesterol went down, my credit score went up, and my wife got better looking.

    The wisest way to modernize a C20

    Is the back cab wall double-walled? Just wondering if some short screws can go into in without coming out the other side!

    What Classic Insurance to get?

    With Hagerty I insure a 1966 Porsche 912 with an agreed value of $50k. That costs me $350 a year. And my 1981 C10 is agreed at $40k (completely not stock), that costs me $585 a year. We all know repairing the Porsche would cost wayyyyy more, but this is what they came up with.

    What Classic Insurance to get?

    I have been using Hagerty for over 20 years on two vehicles, no complaints at all.

    I finally gave up.

    Because USA1 Industries is a criminal enterprise that takes your money up front, tells you it'll be 16 weeks, and a year and a half later you're still waiting. While LMC is a reasonably well-run operation that ships when they say they will.

    Where do I buy new interior kit?

    USA1 has the best door panels by far. Unfortunately, they are a horribly run operation and as mentioned you will wait at least a year and a half to receive them (if you're lucky).

    Please forgive me, but this was the first thing I thought of.

    USA1 Industries

    Looks great. Like I've said before, if you have the patience and can tolerate the criminal manner in which the company is run, you won't be disappointed with the quality of what you receive (if/when you do).
