Old man constantly asked to drop his truck.Any stock height C10s left in the world??
Good point. When we got our truck the first thing I pushed for was aftermarket wheels. The old man wasn't going to do it for reasons best dealt with elsewhere. In time, I really came to like the 16" white steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps. It has the alloys off the Suburban on it right now...- Blue Ox

Old man constantly asked to drop his truck.Any stock height C10s left in the world??
Leave it alone. It's a survivor and should be respected. I never got the idea of making a truck look like the suspension had failed. While we're at it, what's with the giant-@$$ rims and rubber band tires? I can understand wanting larger rims than the factory 15s and 16s, but why you'd want...- Blue Ox

Th700 cooler line nuts & tools
I think he meant cutting the wrench in half. Once the fitting has been broken free why not use an open end wrench as long as it's not fighting you for every turn?- Blue Ox

Questions about JB7 Brakes
You sure you don't mean 8600? That would be a JB7 / C6P option. Otherwise it was probably retrofitted. -

I did the reverse on my differential when I put the chrome cover on it. All the bolts were painted black. -
700r4 TV cable cause acceleration/run away with 6.2?
Ours would stick sometimes after it was a few years old. However, it would just stick, not accelerate. You could get it back by smacking the pedal with your foot. It all went away when we replaced the throttle cable.- Blue Ox

Oldsmobile 5.7D and Vacuum Regulator Valves?
As far as mounting the modulator there's very little difference between the various pumps. It's more likely the valve configuration has to do with fit and clearance. Probably also the requirements of the different transmissions. As far as it stating it's for Buicks or whatever, remember GM put...- Blue Ox

Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap
If you're set on running one tank follow the advice above. However, with a gas engine you may find yourself missing that extra fuel. You can just drain the tank and blow out the lines. As long as the fuel isn't contaminated it's nothing to worry about.- Blue Ox

Anyone else have this "Turbo Diesel" plaque?
@TheBigBlue2500 I'd suggest you check your exhaust for a harmonica or the whistle that came with the Turbodiesel badge, because there is no turbocharger on that engine. :(- Blue Ox

Bare Hands
I didn't start out wearing them, and I was kind of resistant when they started becoming a thing. However, considering the n@$ty chemicals and petroleum products we work with, and people developing weird diseases I finally gave in and started wearing them. Once I got used to them I started to... -
What have you done to your square lately??
When you had the rocker cover off, did you "ahem" probe the spark plug hole to feel for the piston? If you did that, and the mark was facing down, your damper has spun. Otherwise repeat the procedure and get the piston on top. Just having the rockers free only indicates that you are on... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I @$$umed it was the trick where you split a hose and wrap it around a steel line that has a pinhole leak. Clamp it over the hole and you're good. For a while anyway. I ran my truck like that for several years when the transmission shop left the cooler lines rubbing on the frame. Had to change... -
Need correct core support if my headlights are "dual headlights" with the high under the lowbeams or is dual side by side?
For an '84 with quad headlights you want the earlier "dual" headlight part (81-87) that has the four headlights vertically stacked and the directionals in the grille. 32-2548-T If you only have two headlights total and the directionals are under the lights and not in the grille, then you want...- Blue Ox
