    lmc insulation kit

    Anyone on here pull the trigger on the 250.00 precut insulation package from lmc? Not having to cut and fit myself is looking like a pretty good option. What would be the cost saving if you put in the work from those who did it from scratch? Thanx in advance Eric

    Not a score from the yard, but definately a score! I bought a snapon bottom box for 50 bucks. It is a vintage box for sure, showing her age but still functional. Anybody know f you can still get the drawer glides for these older boxes? I need six and she will be perfect. 8-167 is the glide...

    Had the new white spokes mounted up at the truck shop, and dropped her off at the body shop for a long over due panel repair, and repaint. I am as giddy as a virgin on prom night for the results. Eric

    Eastwood internal frame coating review

    So my buddy who owns the body shop that will not paint my truck, GRRRRRR! Says that all new replacement panels get shot with what he calls the wand. It is some type of internal rust prevention for all new cars that still have steel panels. Wonder if the Eastwood stuff is the consumer version...

    Pulley pulling

    Who knows about the guy and his pulley. The napa store machine shop is old school for sure. Nothing fancy, but everything they need to bore, clean, sleave, turn, cook, clean, port and polish for sure. They even got the busted studs out of my OG exaust manifolds and installed new ones...

    Pulley pulling

    New pump, bring your own pulley. Seemed weird the new pump came without one. The shop by the way was the last REAL napa store in my area. Adults work there, and has a machine shop in the back. Eric

    tire fitment??

    So your vote is the 15x7 rims are prolly the right choice? I am getting them cheap enough that I am prolly going to pull the trigger and road test them. If they rub I am going to have them remount my rally wheels and offer the rims here or on epay. Eric

    tire fitment??

    So I stopped by the 4x4 shop today to get a price on some wagon wheels, bright white. I currently run 10.50 x 31.00 on stock ralley wheels. I thought the stock ralley was 15x8x5.5 negative. The only wagons they had available were 15x7x6 negative. Are the 15x10.50 o.k. on the narrower rim...

    Which welder?

    So a little back story... I am no virgin to welding, and certainly not complaining about " crying once ". I have not looked at the Lincoln, I was just a little suspicious of the auto set feature on the Miller, and am not needing anything bigger cause Hobart ac/dc stick will due the rest. I...

    Which welder?

    So the heavy chevy needs rockers and cab corners. I have had zero luck finding a shop to do the work. The one quote I got was for 4k per side, site unseen! No thank U! I am looking at the hobart vs. miller 120v input mini migs. Miller seems to be more pricey, but specs look the same. The...

    Drink holder question?

    Where is that picture of a beer in the work boot, riding shotgun? That works well for me. Easy install and no fabrication work. p.s. you may want a rear window slider to throw the empties into the bed. Eric

    So riding down the road today I spied a square on the back of a wrecker heading to the junk yard. I called the yard and told them not to crush it before I got there and the guy just laughed and said o.k. It looked a lot better going down the road at 60, but I got a oem tailgate with one dent...
