    8ft Stepside Bed

    You bet! By the way....I do believe it is a square door gas fill one. Must have only been a 1 tank pickup as there is only a door on the passenger fender.

    @oldretiredafguy It's already on wheels, ready for transport. ;)

    Procomp 69 center caps

    Look on the inside of the cap. If I remember right, there probably is a locking spring snap ring thingy in there that can be popped out and the end of the cap will come off.

    Champion radiator difficulties

    Yes, I ended up using a flex hose that had the correct size ends.

    454 SM465 4.10 vs 3.73 vs 3.54

    I agree with this. This would be the simplest and most straight-forward option.

    6.2 For A Daily Driver? What Are The Downsides?

    Ever heard a straight-piped Super 99 Oliver in an antique tractor pull? That is heavenly!

    Where to buy tires

    The 121 load index (load range E) is plenty heavy for a 3/4 ton pickup. I sell tires and have never seen anything heavier (load range F or G) on anything up to a 1 ton. If more load capacity is needed, that is what dual rear wheels are for and every 1 ton dually I have ever seen comes with...

    400 SBC Build - Tight Budget

    I agree with @fast 99 . Torque is more important than HP in a pickup, so don't get wild with the cam choice. A 400 has great potential to make very good power with a RV type cam. A good set of heads will be the best bang for your buck.

    1986 Rare Build sheet? Tell me what you think!

    Here is one of the 6.2 pickups when it was brand new in the summer of '82 in a parade. My dad is the guy sitting on top of the headache rack. He was pretty proud of that new Ditchwitch trencher on the trailer....we still have the trailer, but it doesn't look quite that shiny anymore! I have...

    1986 Rare Build sheet? Tell me what you think!

    I haven't seen a short box stepside diesel 4x4 before, but I do know that our family business had 3 or 4 K20 long box stepside 6.2 diesels with SM465 manuals. Pretty sure they were '82 and '83 models. We also had a couple 5.7 diesel stepside long box pickups, one a '78 and one a '79. My dad...

    Will this work with 35s?

    Ditto ^^^ 33's are a much more practical size with a small lift.

    '89 GMC 'Burb grill swap questions

    I never liked the GMT400's when they first came out, but then I ended up buying a '90 C1500 for college and really liked that pickup. I have to say, the Silverado seats from '90-94 are some of the best ever made. The dashes on the pre '95's definitely look dated, but they were very typical for...

    How do I use the tank selector on 1973 Camper Special

    That auxiliary fuel tank looks like something added by a camper dealer. It was pretty common to add them to pickups when slide in campers were purchased to add more range. The ones I have seen set up that way did not have the fuel gauge hooked up, so the gauge only worked for the factory...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Same up here in ND. I have heard that the salt is cheaper than cutting edges on the V-plows.....Or maybe it's just easier to spread the salt/brine. Drives me nuts when it is 15 degrees out and snowing and they are spraying the brine (which makes the snow stick to the roads) instead of just...
