    Are you looking for a very specific brand? LMC etc appear to have step bumpers currently in stock.

    How do yall ground your Alternator?

    I think some people are getting confused with aluminum conducting electricity (yes, does so very well) with magnetism (nope not at all). Maybe because the whole positive/negative thing for both, I don't know.

    700R4 Information Thread

    @NickTransmissions Question for you. I have a 700R4 that is out of a 1989 Corvette. It is stock. What kind of HP/torque do you think it can safely handle? It looks like vettes that year were rated at 245HP and 340 lb/ft. The motor I have in front of mine is at about 360HP and 400lb/ft.

    Question on battery/starter

    That is for sure. I bought a new Diehard battery at Advance Auto last night. Brought it home, and it was reading 10.5 volts. Left it on the charger all night. Then it read exactly 12. But I literally watched on the multimeter as the volts quickly dropped back to 11 after unplugging the charger...

    Quality replacement steering box

    Nope, no vibrations to speak of. And the U joint fit correctly.

    Quality replacement steering box

    I went with the u-joint, eliminating the rag joint is the biggest part of this upgrade.

    Quality replacement steering box

    Borgeson also sells the replacement steering shaft with the u-joints. Of course it isn't cheap, but I can attest that it is very high quality. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/brg-000935/make/chevrolet/model/c10/year/1985

    Door Skin Sound Deadening

    I put one square of Kilmat in each door, you definitely don't need a lot to make the tin can noise stop. Strips would probably work well too.

    Ever dealt with GM crate motor warranty replacement?

    They're still making mine. It's a great motor btw. Roller cam, Vortec heads, over 350hp and 400lb/ft of torque. But man the price has gone up like everything. I think I paid 3 grand. https://www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/crate-engines/sp350-357-base

    Ever dealt with GM crate motor warranty replacement?

    I have no experience to speak of with GM Performance warranty claims but I suspect there is little hope. I have had enough bad experiences with other warrantys where I was in fact still in the covered period. I waited as long as I could to order my GM Performance crate motor, so I would have...

    Mirror and Vent Windows

    Do you have a set of vent windows that can be refurbished? I sent mine to Precision to be rebuilt, I'd say some of the best money I spent on my build. https://www.prp.com/vent-program Even if you can find a used set to buy and send in would be better than anything aftermarket, IMO.

    Mirror correct for ‘81?

    I changed my '81 from the dumbo mirrors to the sport mirrors. Yes, they are nearly useless, but they look cool so no regrets.

    This is what kills me, no other aftermarket panels come close to the quality of the USA1 panels. Just run your business better!

    USA1 Industries

    Like I've previously said, my relationship with USA1 is like a toxic girlfriend that I have a sad need to want to make work out. Despite all I went through waiting a year and a half for my door panels until I forced their delivery with legal measures, I wanted to give them another try! I...

    (1980 Chevy Squarebody) CKL14A1101673 In search of my fathers old truck

    Not sure if this will be any help but it looks like if you make a RI.GOV account (for a fee) you can do a title search with your VIN to get the owner information on the most recent title with that VIN. I'm in Mass so I know nothing about the RI DMV but looks like an avenue for you to check out...
