    Start issue Wednesday

    So here's some pics of what I'm dealing with. The bolts are correct, and I'm pretty sure the brace will work, but I don't see a place to mount the brace on the block. The only bolt head I see is a drain plug for the block. The engine is an aftermarket 350 so obviously they don't put mounts for...

    Start issue Wednesday

    I was hoping to get the oil pan gasket replaced with my one piece gasket after wife's surgery but still trying to find the time between working full time, and making sure she's comfortable They are actual starter bolts. I won't use anything but the right bolts in any application I need to get...

    Start issue Wednesday

    I've already had one bolt break off in the block, but it came out real easy. I'll check it later today to make sure both bolts are tight. I have some anti seize to put on them as well

    Need photo of mounting arrangement for driveshaft center bearing

    I'm using my iPhone SE to get my pics, and so far(knock on wood, my head), they have all been the right size. As far as downsizing pics, I couldn't tell you. Sorry

    Start issue Wednesday

    UPDATE: I just went out and started it, and it did the same thing, but not as harsh. I did replace the starter and battery February 5, 2020. Engine turns and runs fine, just a little rough, so I'm suspecting the starter may be on it's way out. I'll clean all the terminals on Sunday when I'm off...

    Start issue Wednesday

    So a weird thing happened on Wednesday. Went to start my truck, and it sounded like when my starter had lost a mounting bolt. Loud clunk and I could feel it in the truck. No issues up until then. Changed the oil and filter on Tuesday and it started fine. I haven't tried it since as I'm working...

    Need photo of mounting arrangement for driveshaft center bearing

    Looking at the U bracket, it's 3.5" on the back side, and 3" in the front, as you said to account for the angle of the driveshaft. Hope this drawing helps.

    1955 Chevrolet Bel Air More Door For A 16 Year Old

    I'm a fan of 4 doors. Love the car and it's great to see you and youe son with a great project. I love the original battery. If I had one of those, I'd figure out a way to gut it, and use it as a small storage box in the car. Best of luck to you both, and I'm sure I speak for a lot of us, keep...

    WTB a GMC Tail gate lettering

    My 84 came bare bones and absolutely no creature comforts, so I dressed up the old Chevy tailgate with a set of 93 Sierra emblems from a friend

    GMC Tailgate Emblem

    I put 93 GMC Sierra emblems on my Chevy Silverado tailgate band. Wanted to break up all the white on the tailgate and cover the CHEVROLET on the tailgate

    Tailgate band for 1987 Silverado V10

    I used a long strip of masking tape mounted on the band, then measured where the edge of the band would be on the tailgate, laid the tape down and marked the holes. It's a Chevy gate but made my own GMC one

    Tailgates

    My 84 Sierra 2500 is as bare bones as they come. No dome light, manual windows and locks, and plain white. Just the way I like it. However I scored a tailgate band from a Silverado on a ranch, took off the CHEVROLET emblem, and added 93 GMC Sierra badging just to dress it up a bit. The current...

    1977 C10 Police Truck

    I know these are Dodge trucks, but this is what I plan on doing to my 84 Sierra. Painting it Strata Blue(USAF), adding a serial number on each door, which will be the 2 digit year(84), and the month and year I went in(1086). I have a full lightbar with amber lenses, that will go on the roof. I...

    Hood not sitting flush

    I replaced the hood on my 84, with an original hood but I still can't get the back to sit down flush. Someone mentioned shimming the cowl panel. Anyone ever done that? I also have to slam the hood to get it to latch. I think I may have to spend some time messing with it

    Attaching 80s Fender badges?

    Bent bumper

    How are you all getting rid of this type of bend in the bumper? I tried my 10K capacity cargo tie down strap around a large pine tree branch today an didn't even budge it. I don't need it perfect, just a little flatter/straighter. My next option is to use my strap and wrap it around the bumper...

    Fender Antenna

    My 84 Sierra came with a fender mounted antenna, but it's gone. My new windshield came with the antenna in it. I've tried caps to fill the hole but nothing works. I'm going to replace the fender with an oe one without the hole then sell the original

    Looking for a decent bench seat cover that doesn't break the bank...

    I know but as much as I use my truck, the cloth doesn't hold up very well, unfortunately. I can look into a solid type of cloth material that doesn't have pleats. Maybe a commercial grade cloth. This is what my seat looks like now after 5 years

    Looking for a decent bench seat cover that doesn't break the bank...

    A friend of mine here in Cottonwood does interiors, and I'm going to have her do my bench with Blue marine grade vinyl. Right now it's blue cloth and unfortunately it's splitting.(Truck has been in AZ most of it's life and sat in the sun unprotected for 5 years). I've had this lady do my old ^5...

    Adjuster tool for drum brakes

    Is there a specific tool to adjust the drum brakes? I tried using a slotted screwdriver but it was too long with the wider blade, and the short one had a small blade but kept coming off the star wheel. Thanks

    Front seat simple swap? Is there such a thing?

    I would love to add these type of seats to my 84, but a couple of questions first. First, does anyone just sell the mounting brackets to go between these and the original holes in the floor? I don't have any welding skills, and cant afford to have someone make them for me(Only one working as...

    Need photo of mounting arrangement for driveshaft center bearing

    This is my 84 C20, long bed. Hopefully you can see the U shape channel that the carrier bearing mounts to. I also added some pics of my transmission mount. I had the round one on it originally, but the new round one wouldn't tighten up, so I went with the rectangular unit. I think I got it from...
