    New tires and painted rims!

    I'm digging the headache rack with integrated bed rails. The wheels do look good. They are needing some dog dish caps. :cool:

    Headache rack ideas

    The ones that I've looked at fit the width of the bed fine . It's that they are a foot taller then the cab.

    Cowl Hood

    Spectra makes an enclosed housing that has ducts which you run to the stock air inlet openings on the core support. It has a drop-down base. It might be worth looking into.

    Anybody have shorty headers?

    Why go with a short type header? There's not much to gain over an exhaust manifold. IMHOP. I went with a Summit long tube on my K-10. But I'm the guy that does have shorties on my 04 2500 HD. I went with them because I didn't want to spend the $$ for new cats and messing with the factory SS...

    Lift kit

    Shocks make a big difference. I went from gas charged too hydraulic. The gas charged were stiff for everyday driving.

    Fuel Hose OK ?

    I used Jeg's Pro-Flo nylon braided hose with AN fittings from my fuel pump to the pressure regulator and carb. It's a little easier to work with than SS braided line. It will cut easier than SS. You have to secure it and keep it from rubbing against other components. It is NHRA accepted for use...

    New crate engine oil priming/ ignition timing impact if the distributor is mis-installed

    Lucus makes an ZDPD additive that you can add to the oil. It's in a 16 ounce bottle. I would add this to the oil every oil change. The RP oil should be fine for start up.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced the wiper motor on my truck. It has been a problem for several years. I learned that there is power always going to the motor when the key is on. The switch on the column grounds the wire, thus completing the circuit. The old motor wouldn't run on the high speed, and barely work on the...

    How is everyone making their wiring look not a mess under the hood.?

    I vote for the mesh split loom. I bought mine from Jeg's. It also works well on vacuum, rubber, and plastic lines. I prefer it over the plastic stuff.

    Which is the correct fuel tank ?

    My 85 K-10 long bed has a 20 gal on the driver's side and a smaller tank on the pass. side. I'm thinking it is a 16 Gal.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced the rear driveshaft U-joints. I had to melt out the plastic locks from the old ones. I'm thinking they were from 85.:oops: I have the one-piece shaft. I used the C-clamp from My Maddax ball joint kit and a Dewalt impact to remove and install the joints. There was still grease in the...

    I found this kit on Rock Auto. It looks like there's keepers like valve spring locks that need to be removed.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Alot depends on the area of the country you're trying to sell the truck in. For instance, the C-15. I would knock 1K off because of no working AC. I'm in the Houston TX area. Working 4 wheel drive add a grand. Emission equipment in working order is a big deal to some people. Looking at it I'm...

    Going Poly

    I replaced my rear spring bushings this past weekend. The job went pretty well. The old bushings looked like they were original. These two were the last ones that I had to do. The trucks suspension has been redone front and back. With the new shocks and all the other work she rides better then...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    When I replaced my shocks. I found some odd sized bolts. I went back and replaced them with what I think is the correct size 1/2" by 3" cap screw. The pass side lower front was so long it touched the axel tube. I had to add a spacer and a bunch of washers. I didn't like the look of a hack job...

    Is there such a thing as Cams for Dummies

    For mild builds I like to stick with GM parts. I did that with several LS builds and on a couple of mild Gen 1 350's. The GM cams are very easy on valve springs , make good torque, don't require high stall torque convertors, and are emission compliant. The biggest question you have to ask...

    Worth getting MSD?

    I'm running an MSD 6 A box with the built in rev limiter. It's the newer digital box. It also has a built-in anti-theft if you ground one of the spare wires with a hidden switch the truck will crank but not start. I'm using an Accell Dizzy, but it has a big red cap:cool:. I wanted the box so I...
