    Check out my rear end

    Just to update this thread, yesterday I picked up my truck from the differential shop. Ended up doing a full rebuild, axles and bearings, posi springs, clutches, ring and pinion. I switched from 3.73's to 4.11's, since it needed a ring gear cause there was pitting on it. It's perfect now as far...

    Reverse light options

    Sadly, this is not the case. There are a number of proposed bills in the MA legislature proposing this, and another proposing eliminating safety inspections for vehicles over 45 years old, but they are still just proposed bills. I would be thrilled, my 1966 Porsche and my 1981 C-10 would be...

    Do I even need a gas tank vent tube?

    That is the setup I have on mine, but that's because I relocated the tank to the rear with a blazer tank, and my fuel filler is now in my bed. I have a vent hose going from the tank into the top inside of the wheel well, with a filter on it. As long as the height of the vent is higher than the...

    POR 15 equivalents?

    I wire wheeled and flap disked to bare metal, and followed their directions. This was in 2017, it has held up perfectly.

    ****CAUTION, PLEASE READ****

    Agreed! Face to face with cash is what I always say. I was just sharing one I expected to be a scam but chose to entertain that worked out.

    ****CAUTION, PLEASE READ****

    I did something I would tell everyone else not to do, and luckily it all still worked out, which is nice. I have had a set of stainless Hooker headers posted on craigslist and FB for a while. They are for the 88-98 trucks, I had them on my '81 C-10 for less than a thousand miles but the driver...

    Stolen!

    This is what I have for GPS tracking. It's $100 a year, but that's cheap insurance to know I won't lose my truck I've had since high school. Battery powered, which last at least 5 years, and uses GPS and 5G LTE. You can track it on an app, set up a geofence, etc...

    Holley / Brothers trucks clearance sale

    There's a ton of stuff on there that I bought in the last year. Man I would have saved a ton of money at these clearance prices.

    Sound dampening

    I definitely agree with the Kilmat on the outer door panel. You don't need to use a lot, there or anywhere else. I put one sheet inside each door and totally killed the tin sound. I did the roof as well before adding the headliner, and you don't have to go crazy over every square inch to get...

    A new comer with a problem

    My whole 8 foot fleetside bed, other than the wheel wells and tailgate, is aftermarket. I got the bedsides from LMC, it feels and looks original.

    Hi - from Upstate, SC

    Wow great backstory too. Definitely keep it TPI, it's amazing at a show how much attention mine gets because everything is LS swapped these days (for good reason, don't get me wrong). I am running the MSD box with a Holley Dual Sync distributor and an MSD Blaster HVC II coil. But my ECM is a...

    Hi - from Upstate, SC

    Welcome and nice rig! Love the TPI setup, it's what I put in my '81 C10 back in 1992, that was a high tech swap back then. That motor does indeed not breath well above 4K rpm, but it was made for low end torque, which makes it great in a truck. When I re-restored my truck over the last 10 years...

    Thinking about a new smaller steering wheel, comfort grip or forever sharp?

    Same here, Actually mine is out of my 1978 Camaro. I bought it when I was 16 for $400 back in 1994. I junked that POS a year later, but kept the steering wheel and put it in my C10 I just finished building at the time. I'm thinking I'm now going to leather wrap it since it keeps getting sticky...

    New to GMSB from Oregon

    If they made them for standard cabs, my 5 foot tall wife would force me to get those.

    People seem to really like the newish Hooker manifolds, if you're looking to go that route.

    Steering Column needs to be rebuild

    Something like this? This is on my old column, I installed it in the '90's when trucks still got hot wired. It was no fun to remove.

    New dash bezel deleting wiper switch on dash

    For some bizarre reason, when they moved the wiper switch from the dash onto the column lever in 1984, the headlight knob moved up to roughly where the dash wiper switch used to be. I went through this when I put a newer column into my 1981...
