Best Set-up for plowing, Dream rig
A good set of snow tires with studs really helps too. I plan on only an Eaton Truetrac in the back for my K20, and maybe chains. On the Ford since it is open diff and can get stuck on flat wet grass in 2wd (had to happen for me to believe it), I run just narrow all-terrains and chains with ice...- 75Monza

Best Set-up for plowing, Dream rig
I have two plow trucks myself, a 73 F250 highboy and 82 K20 soon to have the engine back in it. Both are 4 speed with granny low, soon as the K20 is on the road I'm selling the Highboy. It has a 7' plow that was a home-made job, had the blade custom rolled and welded up all the metal till I had...- 75Monza

Steering Issue - need help!!
I had a similar issue with my '86 with 8" of spring, had no turning radius though. My popping noise turned out to be bad upper and lower ball joints. After I rebuilt my axle is when I figured out I had no turning radius once all the slop was gone, lol. I don't have a drop pitman on mine, think...- 75Monza

Favorite tool brand?
My favorite tool brand when it's automotive is my old Proto set...still have my first service set and box that I bought around 94, nothing broke yet. Back then, this was a 15k set. Nowdays Proto sort of sucks for quality. Being an industrial electrician, my hand tools at work have been good 'ol... -
sticky gummy steering wheel.
You made me look...evidently I did this swap in the past because the two jugs I have now are the Fast Orange, not GoJo. My memory has officially left the building, lol. Got this stuff at work that is green, think it's supplied by Renown or Cintas, works pretty damn good, nice abrasive in it. -
sticky gummy steering wheel.
I've used the gritty GoJo cleaner for your hands on a steering wheel before, seemed to work pretty good. My steering wheels get pretty greasy since I'm always working on something either at work or at home. My wife swears I'm like the peanuts kid Pigpen, step out of the shower, a car calls my... -
Whats your Dream Build?
Still on the hunt for a builder...found one down around Portland,Or. that would be a good start for $5500, nice body, no drive train and would need to back half it with mini tubs to keep back seat and probably a Fabquest front. Was informed by the wife no more projects unless I get ride of 4 or...- 75Monza

They are out there, just hard to find since the 2wd rear axle is about 4" narrower than the 4x4.- 75Monza

Monza's Mini-Square Blazer project
Nope, they just came off there. I have access to the full typhoon body kit and while it looks cool, want to do all the weight minimizing possible. Trying to find an 8.5 out of the 96 up rwd blazer to put in there and transfer battery to rear for weight shift.- 75Monza

Monza's Mini-Square Blazer project
So about a year ago, I picked up a 1991 S10 Blazer 2 door RWD for $500. I've always had an itch to v8 conversion one of these since my early 20's when they came out with the Typhoon, thought it was just bad ass look and pretty quick for a v-6. Not sure which direction I'm going with this...- 75Monza

10 pack flap Discs Giveaway
Awesome, Thanks! Ordered me some of the paint and rust stripping 4/1/2" cup wheels while I was at it, BM-STRIPPER45_10. Never tried something like that yet, hope they are worth the price. -
Sand blast cabinet
I built one out of plywood, big enough to fit a motorcycle frame in. Dust collection took awhile to get right, then experimented with the right light in the cabinet for a bit, now have LED bulbs in there and see real good. Never made wheels on mine, only regret because it's a beast to move... -
Wing windows
I just got the new rubber for mine (1986) and the fasteners kit with the new rivets, probably going to attempt everything in 2 weeks. My Drivers side I snapped the rivets off the other day, so since all the felts and rubber were wasted, just got the complete set of everything from LMC. I can let... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I thought about doing that, have a couple of sticks left since I'm doing the plumbing in my house right now. I didn't want to cut it though, was trying to figure out how to tap the washer off the striker so I could just slide the pex on. They weren't that expensive and I ordered all new door... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Put new door strikers on yesterday since drivers door lost the plastic piece, got them from LMC. Didn't realize that the piece they thread into was not in a pocket and falls down into the body when you remove the striker. Had to pull the factory corner speaker to reach in and hold in place to... -

Carb help
Understand your PO pain...we should have a Rant thread just on PO's, lol. Most of the rigs I purchase I end up calling PO's Psychotic Obstructor, since every thing I dig into reveals another fubared installation that is stopping me from reaching my goal. :biggun:- 75Monza

Carb help
Think the sizes on my 86 are 3/16, 1/4 and 3/8, 3/16 being used for carb to plastic tubes,1/4 being to steel tube(i.e,the heat riser,and the vacuum fittings in the manifold),and 3/8 for the pcv,and fuel. I usually get 6-8 feet of each to have laying around. Sometimes best to take a chunk of old...- 75Monza

Cooling your garage
If you don't have window space, why not a through the wall unit? Most garage walls are usually on 24" centers and there are quite a few of the 14k btu through the wall units that will fit perfect between the studs. I did that on my brothers shop for him, measured and cut out the hole once I...
