What have you done to your square lately??
personally, I hate clamps because the rust and get stuck and require cutting. The fight to me isnt worth the time and labor for an attempt thats highly probable to fail and a PITA on manifolds.....unless you can weld. Since lesson learned, I take it to a welder and tell them to weld it front... -
‘83 K5- seeking design and material ideas on bed side panels and compartments for storage
Not on a K5, but on my K10 I did the 'burb relocation. This leaves the dual fuel doors/tanks open for whatever. Been thinking about what to do with the "channel" between the 2 doors. Hoist, potable water tank, small tool storage, slide out frame support for a "tent" etc. Wasted space I'd... -

2.5" or 4" Lift 1986 K10
I see a bit of rake. If thats a concern, an easy fix might be the Monroe coil overs on the front. I've got them on a stock k10 (front/rear) and it leveled it out. Worth a shot for under $100 for the front shocks. 'Course you'll have to measure for correct length since you lifted it. I've...- Camar068

LMC AC controller has too many detents
If your not happy, 6 on the label and 7 detents.....send it back. You didn't get what you paid for. Having to put it in between is something you do on a part thats 20 years and older and needs to be replaced lol. Just my thoughts lol.- Camar068

What gauge size/diameter to replace stock ??
Thx for the pics and info here. I'm looking at Gaffrig for a fuel pressure gauge to use with the LS. I don't think the sender comes with it (another $48). If I can make the 2 5/8" work, it comes with it for $3 more. Fuel Pressure (LS) 2 5_8 in Fuel Pressure -
LED Shop Lights That Last??
Thanks, was a Fathers Day gift 2 years ago from daughter and grand kids. Smaller print says toys fixed for free. I can't tell you how many times I've had to "fix" the rubics cubes lol. I downloaded the utube video's for future use. -

LED Shop Lights That Last??
I got Barrina LED lights for the garage. They are $50 for a 6 pack on amaswan. To space them out you need to buy extensions for $15. You can daisy chain all of them together so you only need one power source for 6. My garage is 25x25' with 8 ft ceilings. I did get some flashing from Lowes... -
What new tools have you got lately?
Everyone needs a Chapman set. I've been using one at home and work since the early '90's. Great for tight spots, and a small easy (not roll up kit) with about every bit you need. Don't get on amazon....look elsewhere for a better price. Chapman Set -
Period correct wheels for 86 K10 Stepside?
if you like the height of the truck, I'd stick with the 33's and I'd google M/T mudders vs Courser CXT and then Courser MXT. Open it up to other tire manufacturers as well. Both that I mentioned are not as aggressive as the M/T with the CXT being the least aggressive and better road ride...- Camar068

Period correct wheels for 86 K10 Stepside?
Unless keeping stock, you might think about puting Monroe load adjusting shocks (coil over) front and rear and then 32" tires on it. I've got Mastercraft on mine and they filled they wheel well more to my liking but not too much. The shocks actually took what little rake it had out and it's...- Camar068

Fair price to switch a V10 front and rear diffs to 373 from 308 gears
I'm looking to get mine replaced at some point. The last set before covid cost me about ~$600. For the same job now I expect to be told $1,000-$1,200. Thats with (now and then) me supplying the gears and install kit. It's ~$500 for 2 sets of Richmond Excel. If anything, call smaller semi...- Camar068

What new tools have you got lately?
Yeh a pair of channel locks has worked for years, but with the engine swaps and "her" different vehicles I thought it was time to ask lol. If anything, she'll get over $45 and like it. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Is it a tilt top forward and lift the dash a bit? Or a tuck under and lift the dash a bit? If you start cursing....stop for a bit. -
What new tools have you got lately?
Are these worth a crap? Cheaper set? I tend to put my oil filters on too tight since I don't wanna lose oil because of a filter not tight enough. HF oil filter set -
What new tools have you got lately?
Got something similar. My 6 year old grandson was amazed at how it worked. He put on his hard hat and was testing all the walls, counters, and floors lol.
