    HF plastic welding kit

    Have you considered buying a repop part from LMC or someone like that? It may be cheaper than repair.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Short version- I did a front brake job, and all the (3) hoses.. Long version- 1981 C10 6 cylinder, approximately 80,000 miles. Fullly documented service records since new (in its carfax), no mention of brakes ever. All brakes look good front and rear except for glazed rotors. Hoses look like...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    remember when I said I put the dynamat in, and fixed the whistling window, and rattling brake release? Now with the truck so quiet, I think I hear transmission noise.. Is it my imagination? I think I'll change tranny fluid with Red Line MTL.

    You may have to re-use the old ones. When you get it apart, take a few photos. We can make anything!

    Don't really know where to put this, but have any of y'all ever had to get a bonded title, and how big of a pain is it?

    In Colorado it is a PITA. My car was a BMW 2002 Tii that was partially restored and my customer brought it to me to finish, then he stopped paying. Turns out, he didn't own it and had no paperwork (He had vanished by then) I had to put ads in the paper to find last owner, who I could never...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I need one of those grease gun hose holders. I think I have every tool, but not one of those. Always curse at my grease guns for popping off and dripping. Well, I guess thats life!

    Things I never thought would happen

    There are 2 kinds of vehicles..Ones that get unreliable and end up being put to pasture in one way or the other. And, then there are cars and trucks that you work on the little things and they keep getting better and better. My C10 "Ralph" keeps getting better with small bits of effort that make...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Found the rattle! After quieting the cab with dynamat, sealing the vent window with a new latch kit, I still had this big rattle in the parking brake mechanism. Looked and looked, and finally found the parking brake ratchet mechanism was loose. Three bolts total, 2 that go to the firewall, and...

    New motor... from 250 to 350

    well, the motor was going to need a full rebuild too, so I backed out. Thanks for the help. Perhaps someone has a good non- integral 6 cylinder head for the present 250-6

    New motor... from 250 to 350

    I ran across a good built 350 for $1000. My truck is a base 6 cylinder 1981 that runs good, on an original 6 cylinder with 80,000 miles on it. I'm the second owner and bought from a friend who was the first. So, if I get the motor what upgrades must be done... Tires, wheels, rear locker in my...

    turn signal issue

    I had a socket with a bad ground. The socket itself was bad. I rebuilt the socket with a good ground wire and the problem was solved. I then replaced the repaired socket with a new one.
