    1980 Roundeye GMC

    I hope you didn't scrap the square headlight bezels... The only reproductions available are plastic, my only option was to have mine repaired and re-chromed. Chrome for 2 bezels and 2 bumperettes was $900.

    Front edge of hood sitting high.

    The newer hoods have a flat nose, the "rib" in the center of the good dies into it instead of wrapping all the way to the edge. Best picture I have is upside down LOL but here is the flat nose hood

    Column issues

    Also… If the tilt portion is loose and can be wiggled around you might as well just plan on breaking the whole upper section down and fixing it. They can wreak havoc on the ign rod and rack when they get like that. It’s a major job to break it down this far so don’t plan on doing it in a few...

    How do yall ground your Alternator?

    Yes, not much point in running it to the block though. It’s already ground to the block through the mounting bolts

    How do yall ground your Alternator?

    Stock trim they usually ground to the engine block through the housing. To upgrade add a heavy gauge wire to the frame or negative battery terminal Stereo guys running big amps do the “Big 3” - heavy gauge charge wire - heavy gauge Alt ground to battery - heavy gauge body ground Or the...

    '73-87 Flat Bed from OEM Fleetside floor?

    Don’t flatbeds usually sit entirely above the tires? For the bed floor and wheel wells to be converted to run a different bedside it would need to have rather tall sides this not being a flatbed.

    ‘84 C20 454 in Nevada

    Dang, I would have driven over and picked it up for you too. It could have sat in the driveway until you figured out how to get it back home. That’s about 2 hours away from me

    ls3 swap bell housing w/pictures

    Jeeze… I’ve never messed with LS stuff other than my wife’s Yukons over the years. I kinda looked into this and it seems like people have more issues with the flywheel & pilot bearing combo. No one on the interwebs talks about bellhousing bolts. There is this bell housing kit but they are...

    Where to go for alignment?

    Check your hubs first, jack up each side then quickly and forcefully rock the tire up/down, like pushing the top of the tire towards the engine and pulling it away. Sometimes a pry bar can be used between the pavement and bottom of the tire to add a little extra force to this job. There...

    Where to go for alignment?

    All good… I was typing when you posted or I probably would have given you some credit. Stringing is a great way to measure for alignment, and I’m confident you can explain how to get it done. I personally wouldn’t bother with strings unless it was crabbing down the road. There are no...

    Where to go for alignment?

    Set the toe and center the steering wheel… Make yourself a set of toe bars (or buy them for like $80) Set the axle on jack stands Set the toe in in the front by 1/16” - 1/8” using the tie rod adjuster Put everything back together Alignment done! If the steering wheel is not centered Adjust...

    What is this?

    It's definitely a bus bar for power... Several of the ones I have see though have a wire with fusible link going from the right side down to the bulkhead (backside of the fuse block) on the firewall.

    Starter wiring problems

    Unhook the purple wire from the starter solenoid, use a test light to see if it gets power when the key is turned to the "Start" position.
