    black vinyl cover for off road light

    The ones on the show were prolly KC covers that had been painted. Over here if the company does not pay the show money, the logo is blanked out. Any vinyl interior spray or die should do the trick. Eric

    Nice to have a interior guru on the forum. Frankly that work is as mysterious as the " Free Masons " to most gear heads. Eric

    Unwritten rules of mouldings?

    I am late to the party, but was the white cab top a factory option or a repaint notion? I have seen a few 70's era furds lately with the white cab top and it is growing on me. Eric

    Who's worked with lead vs bondo?

    While I was a wayward apprentice at a body shop circa 1985, we had a guy that did lead work for the purest of the car resto guys. It is a true art form. I tried it, I sucked. I would suggest practicing on some holes not on your truck first. Also filing and sanding lead needs respirator...

    emissions help?

    So my brain never received any of this information during " operation motor swap ". Oh well, I am now smarter. The mechanic went back through everything from the beginning. He cleared all of the codes and verified correct operation of all sensors. The glaring exception was the o2 sensor, he...

    So the timing could be advanced to much? He may have retarded it to get the 10 degree advance in the right spot? Eric

    emissions help?

    So the mechanic called today, and all is well. I have not seen the particulars yet but the short story is my rig did throw " check engine light ". Mechanic was able to recover codes. New map sensor, new 02 sensor, and the cts sensor I bought last year was also out of whack. I think he...

    Let's talk ROLL BARS

    If you want a real roll bar for protection, look at the crawler trucks and off road guys. They all mount to, or are part of the frame. Light bars can be a variety of shapes and sizes, they mount to the bed bottom, or bed sides. If you are going the light bar route, you could use 4 inch thin...

    emissions help?

    Thanx for the input. It is going to be my reccomendation at the shop to replace all 3 of the sensors and give it a whirl. I really do not think it idles all that high, a tach is in my near future. The truck really runs great and strong except for the rich idle, you can smell it it's so rich. Eric

    emissions help?

    Long story short is I found out I can get a emissions waiver if I spend 200.00 at a certified garage. Turns out one of my long time friends from high school shop is on the list. Made an appointment for the 11th. I pulled the plug off the cts sensor and the motor idled up, pulled the plug from...
