    Squares at Hot August Nights Reno, NV

    I didn’t walk every show in Reno today but I visited most of the big ones. Here’s what I came up with: Super clean squircle stepper in the for sale lot, they were asking $35K OBO GMC stepper, kinda a survivor body with air bags, tilt up bed access & fresh interior. Was for sale $32K I...

    Custom engine bays.

    Here’s the fender shave in progress, basically just cut som metal to fill any visible holes, knocked the high spots off of the welds, and finger swiped some body filler in the gaps so it would look nice.

    Custom engine bays.

    I’ll share, I did a semi-shaved firewall by welding in the vintage air adapter, eliminating the blower motor hole, added an aftermarket wiper motor that’s smaller, tack welded the seam, & welding up any unnecessary holes before smearing some body filler. I left the stock wiring bulkhead, brake...

    Radio Wiring

    Just a guess based on typical GM wire colors: Black - ground Yellow - 12v ign. Switched power Grey - illumination I do agree with everyone’s advice to test them, definitely don’t trust my instincts.

    Wheel spacer for my 1986 GMC K3500 3+3….

    This… Also, spacers like any safety equipment or suspension part shouldn’t be purchased from the lowest bidder (Amazon/4WP Etc.). There are several companies that produce quality US made spacers that are legitimate quality parts. I’ve been running 1.6” spacers on my Jeep with 37’s for 40k...

    Squarebody to GMT400 Chassis Swap

    Only wider by about one tank width since GMT400 only has one tank on DS.

    Squarebody to GMT400 Chassis Swap

    ^^^^ This Sounds like a big job but would be cool to see it pulled off well. I’d bet you would need to run a stand alone PCM or swap to the 0411 GM PCM since the BCM from the GMT400 probably wouldn’t fit anywhere and the old black box computers are a PIA to get programmed Just trying to...

    Tires Plus says my Dually tires are too heavy to balance.

    Huh… Ive had a few sets of 37’s on heavy beadlock wheels balanced no problem at random little shops

    Can I put a np203 in my 84’ K10 that originally had the 208?

    205 was pretty standard for K-10 in 80,

    Brake booster pushrod firewall grommet

    If you haven’t turned your core in you should be able to get the one off your old booster. Mine was a 2 piece yellow plastic unit that was covered in the black mastic tar stuff that is all over the firewall. I was able to clean it up with some lacquer thinner and sprayed with vinyl dye.

    Red Oxide Primer

    I tried looking up the tech data sheet for tremclad and all I could find was MSDS… I’m not familiar with the stuff, I typically use epoxy primers and 2K urethanes. When I was looking for a TDS it seems like tremclad is advertised as an oil base product.

    Is there a good spot for keyed power under the hood?

    Whatever wire you choose test it to be certain it provides power with key in the “run” position and in the “start” position. The ignition switch is designed to cut power to several circuits while cranking…

    Broken wire

    Like others said it’s a fusible link that has burnt up. There are two hot leads that power up the fuse block, that is one of them. IIRC one of the two feeds the ignition switch, headlights, … The other feeds almost everything else in the cab. Both of the wires on that spot on the firewall...

    Steering column mount bolt size

    The headstamps on the bolts from the picture appear to be metric... Sorry not much help. If no one can get you an answer before the weekend I could pull one out and measure

    Painting rally wheel rim

    I did mine in AMC electric blue metallic This is an old picture but it’s the only one I have of them in the sun. I did them this color when I first built the truck in 1997, so I did them the same this time. It really pops once the center caps and rings go on

    New guy from North California

    Welcome, from Northern California too… My preference for half ton short bed with 33’s is about 3” of lift. Here’s an old picture of mine with 3.5” re-arched springs in the front and 3” blocks in back. Sorry, no info on who makes the best riding springs.

    Packrat chewed wires--what was this?

    I believe the black plastic was just a factory crimp... BUT, the section of wire you replaced should probably be a fusible link not just standard automotive wire. The terminal on the firewall is connected to the battery through the starter and possibly the alternator and is otherwise unfused...

    Finding Serpentine Belt Lengths

    I went through about 6 before I figured out exactly what belt to get for mine and it’s all factory stuff. Good luck Sir.

    1984 K10 Steering Column question.

    Not sure if the difficult key removal is related to the wobbly column. These four torx headed bolts loosen up over time causing the column to wobble. It’s quit the job breaking the column down this far but, if you remove the wheel, lock plate, and turn signal switch you can get to two of them...
