    Which Mirrors are BEST quality?

    I bought mine (driver side) from Oreilly as I worked there after I retired and the employee discount made it a no brainer. It was all stainless, fit fine and has held up well over the past 2 years.

    My work truck

    That was another point in the story: I paid around $27-28K for mine new from the dealer. 26 years and 400k miles later I could sell it for that price or pretty close. 26 years.......now I feel old.

    My work truck

    Out of the blue this story pops up in my news feed. They consider the Cummins 12-valve paired with the HD manual transmission to be a “Holy Grail” of trucks. Pushing 400k with mine so certainly can’t argue with them.

    I finally realized why I like working on my '81 C10 so much

    My truck has the Thermac system, however it does not use any vacuum. Instead per the manual it utilizes a “self contained wax pellet actuated assembly”. Have no idea if it works at all but it does start and drive fine in cold weather.

    I finally realized why I like working on my '81 C10 so much

    I’m with you. My square is very comfortable even with my 6’4” frame. It’s smooth, has plenty of power and is a joy to drive for short or long distances. It doesn’t talk or ding or chime nor make its own decisions like locking doors or when to really turn the headlights off after I hit the...

    What are these?

    I had sent pics of them to some of my mechanically savvy friends and a machinist buddy, but nobody had a clue. Then I thought to try Google and Viola! Got the answer.

    My wife is going through her late fathers belongings and asked me what these are. I have no idea but figured someone here would!

    87 R1500 Quad Headlight Question

    I am on a quest to figure this out. I had ordered a new headlight switch with knob and rod (LMC P/N 30-2673) but the rod was shorter than the one I removed and it would not work. Makes me think the switch is incorrect.

    87 R1500 Quad Headlight Question

    At this point I have to agree. Hopefully the manual doesn’t have a lot of mistakes like this.

    87 R1500 Quad Headlight Question

    Thanks. Based on this is there a common way this is done such as installing a different switch or doing a wiring mod?

    87 R1500 Quad Headlight Question

    After driving 200 miles home last night I decided to look into headlight upgrades for my 87 R1500 truck with the quad headlights. But after referring to my shop manual I‘m not sure what’s going on. I have 2A1 upper lights and 1A1 lower lights, which is what the manual says is correct. On low...

    Shift Position Indicator

    Thank you @JamesSam! I’ll give it a shot will be removing the instrument bezel again n a month or so to install a new dash pad. I live just outside Lynchburg VA, may 2 hours from Midlothian. We train frequently in the state forests in that area.

    Shift Position Indicator

    My shift position indicator is off and needs adjusting to point at the selected position. It seems the adjustment would consist of removing the clip that secures the shift position indicator cable from the column and then reattaching it to get everything lined up properly. Am I correct? Can you...

    I hated the blanked off empty hole in the original instrument panel so had to add the missing clock. Love it

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed my Forever Sharp steering wheel, along with new instrument bezel. Added factory clock. Shiny new air registers really set it off. Totally love it!

    Classic Parts Pics for SHOW

    I started collecting old oil cans a few years ago. In the pics below all of the quart cans are unopened and almost all are steel. This includes the 5 quart Mobiloil can in the center of the one photo.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Like you, I also fretted over this on my 87 but it turned out to not be that much of a PITA. A good opportunity to freshen up your door panels if need be!
