    Bailey was a manufacturer of aftermarket bumpers. I foolishly let this one get away from me, and would like to replace it

    And the icing on the cake, his initials Micajah Wilkinson was almost 40 when the war started. Joined the local militia and was stationed at Camp Milldale, outside Vicksburg, until the siege started. The militia disbanded, so he came home to SW Mississippi and joined a cavalry unit, serving...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I’m just still gathering/sorting parts. Plan to frame off the 84 k1500 I tried to buy new, (not knowing a buddy had ordered it) to turn into my daily driver, then seeing what all I’m going to let go with the 87 swb and the 88 crew cab srw 4wd. One of my daughters has taken a liking to my 67...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    This is the only lube can I have. It is part of the stuff that one of my 3rd great grandfathers bought home from the WBTS/CW along with the musket flask. The can has some grease in it but had several paper cartridges in it for the New Model Army Remington he brought home. The pistol was made...

    Favorite Project Truck Sales Pitches

    When trying to buy something, “Make me an offer” Most of the time the offer is met with “Oh that’s too low” to which I reply, “So you do have a idea of what you have to have to sell it” Or when selling I always list a price but get replies of “I can get that for ***” (usually 1/3 to 1/4 of...

    CUCV vs civilian model differences?

    Making me feel old. I remember when they started swapping out some of the M151s & Dodges at the base motor pools for the GM vehicles. We didn’t call them CUCVs, we just called them Blazers and 5/4 ton trucks.

    Cab Rust Woes

    I’ve got a cab in Mississippi that the floors and firewall are toast but the roof, dash and back wall are in great shape. Also have an 84 that has rust like yours. Always said I would take the two and make one good one to save a truck, but will probably never get around to it

    1987 6.2L 4x4 new to me and new to here!

    Nice looking Suburban. Check the harmonic balancer on the 6.2. Any signs of cracking in the rubber of it, I’d change it out.

    power window relay mod

    This is how I’ve always wired the window pair of relays. Not my drawing, was sent to me years ago. So unsure of who to give actual credit to. Remember when power is supplied to one side of the motor, the other wire is the ground, hence the reason they are wired this way If relay 1 is down, it...

    6.2 For A Daily Driver? What Are The Downsides?

    I’ve got an 84 1/2t swb 4wd with a 6.2 with Banks turbo and 3.42s. I tried to buy the truck when it was new on the lot, not knowing a buddy had ordered it. When I came home from the Army, my best friend had it, and about 10 years ago he gave it to me. I consistently get 22-24 mph with a...

    1980 k10 dual shocks to single

    One thing to remember, is, on trucks with original quad front shocks, the valving was cut in 1/2 on the shocks used. 2 - 1/2 valved (probably not the right term) shocks equal the same stiffness as the regular shocks used on the normal dual shock setup. “Front quad shocks” is how it is listed on...
