    Drip edge Replacements

    Are all drip edge's created equal? I had my roof skin replaced so need to drill new holes (5 of 7) for the drip edge. In getting things laid out, it seems my drip edge is tweaked enough I want to replace it. Do the holes on the aftermarket pieces line up with the originals? Who has the best...

    Bolt Sizes

    1985 std cab. Anyone know where one could find the size (size and thread pitch) for cabin bolts? I need them for the dash to A-pillars, and then the bench and seat belts. Some are SAE - some are metric. I can try to fit old bolts but want to know the correct size so I can run a tap through it...

    NV4500 Shims

    Anyone adjust/set the shims in a 4wd 2003 GM NV4500? I have heard some special tools are involved but not necessary. Just wondered what was involved (besides disassembly). Like a trans case, it looks involved but not rocket science.

    LS 6.0 Runability Issue

    A buddy of mine has a 2003 2500HD. For some reason he bought a new GM crate motor a couple years ago. Has run perfectly for about 5K then started having rough idle issues. Would start and run fine one time, then start and run rough the next. CE code is the crank position sensor. Shop replaced it...

    Cold Weather Hydraulic Oil

    Any you fellas ever use a cold weather oil in your floor jacks? We're about to get another cold weather cocktail so I swapped my studded snows on - floor jack only wanted to go up about 25% of the way and never felt solid. Its in the 20s so not THAT cold. Just wunnerin if its worth the effort.

    Tank strap issue

    So I'm preparing to install my sending units and realize something: The tanks are mounted too far back (5" maybe?). Basically one set of mounting holes off. The rear just needs moved up one set of holes - the front can only mount one place but the tank has to go forward a few inches. No biggie...

    Low Pressure Return Line PSI

    The supply line on my EFI is 56-58psi - what is the return PSI? A 30R7 line be ok? My supply lines are 30R9 - I have enough 30R7 to do the returns - 30R9 seems way overkill but I know some of these systems will have about the same PSI returning as the supply. Just curious.

    Pollack Valve Wire

    There is a single wire from the Pollack tank switch valve (pink?) that goes to the fuel gauge. Is this signal a 12v, mV, ohm? Also, does anyone know what this wire goes to (GND? Fuel gauge?). Thanks.

    Aftermarket Door Latch Mechanisms

    Has anyone bought new (aftermarket) door latch mechanisms, and if so, what was the quality like compared to the originals? Does one supplier sell a 'better' repop than another? Mine work fine but have alot of corrosion in some areas. I considered buying new ones but if they're asian-cheap, I'll...

    Anyone know what this bracket is for?

    Been sorting loose parts and came across about 8-10 brackets I didn't recognize. Figured them all out but one. My guess is something with the radiator support but cant find any pre-demolition pics with it in place. Any idea? THX

    Vintage Air Firewall Installation

    So I'm getting the holes drilled and such for the VA air it will eventually have - with no dash in the way its alot easier. They give you a plate/template for the heater and ac hoses. Mine has a block off for the whole right side (cleaner looking). I transferred the hole location to the firewall...

    New Panel Coatings

    Whats your experience with the EDP / e-coat on new panels? Like with bondo on bare metal or primer, seems to be 50-50 as to what guys do. I saw a short AMD video saying to keep it out of the sun, scuff it and paint it. I've seen several big time builders say the same thing. Most of Eastwood's...

    Roof Panel Replacement

    Has anyone ever done this - drilled out the spot welds and replaced it with a new AMD panel? Everything online is either pre-SB or so cobbed with "donor" panels, it almost looks worse. I had extensive oil canning in mine. All came out - the 5-6" above each door and above the windshield are...

    Seams that need sealed?

    I need some advice here. Its been decades since I last painted a car or did any kind of extensive bodywork, plus I'm semi-retarded so this is either a big deal or nothing at all. I'm preparing to primer my cab again after all the bodywork, bondo, etc. Noticed the seam sealer on both door...

    Bare Standard Cab Actual Weight

    Just wondering if anyone ever scrapped a bare cab and in doing so, found out how much it weighed? My cab is stripped - no doors, interior, glass - nothing. Nak-id. If Ohiostan ever decides which month it wants to be, I will have it paint shortly and will need to set it back on the frame. Was...

    ProFlo 4 O2 Location

    Quick question: the ProFlo4 EFI setup says to put a bung in the passenger side header collector. WELL.....some dumbarse that wears my pants and looks alot like me, mounted the headers, routed plug wires, etc all up and forgot to do just that. Would the world end if I placed the bung in the...

    Door Seam

    Getting ready to refinish my doors - while stripping them to shells, I noticed the forward seam looking 'bent' out. Both doors are like this. Doesn't look normal so wondering if this is how they are, do they need straightened out, etc? You can see where it looks pried out - then the entire seam...

    Fuel Filler Doors

    On the dual tank beds, are the filler doors right and left specific or both the same? Removed mine and cant see a difference between the two. THX

    Diesel Dash Light and Socket

    Looking for that small box with the lens that goes in the dash bezel above the speedo and the giant fuel gauge for the blind. Would need whatever light-socket setup that goes behind it too. Dont care about the overall shape of the lens as I'll make a new one - but do need it for the pattern...

    NEW Brothers Dash Bezels - CHEAP

    Not sure if you fellas saw these, but there is a vendor on Feebay that is blowing out Brothers dash bezels for cheap. Prices are $12 - 200 w/free shipping. Not sure if these are seconds or they are being discontinued? I got 2 w/o AC (doing something custom so needed a couple volunteers) for <...

    A small section of bed floor

    My bed is perfect except for 50c sized holes where there was a 5th wheel. Been wanting to get a piece of bed floor panel and make matching plugs to fill them. Some grinding and spray in liner and its whole again. Dont have $2K for a new bed floor (w/shipping) - intended on buying a patch panel...

    Filling in seams

    I am in no way close to doing anything like this, but was curious if when re-painting your square, if you, or the shop that did it, or maybe one you saw at a show, ever filled in or blended the factory seams, like where the roof meets the A or B pillars? I noticed that my roof is actually offset...
