    Toolbox thread

    I'll play...this is an old Mac box I picked up off craigslist for $100 11 years ago, it's my work box, cart most of my stuff around in a tool bag (75lbs of crap) though. Still building my house, so no shop yet. Got tired of working in the dirt so rent a shop now, here is the layout of my...

    My name is Phil, and I am a truckaholic.

    I like it. My neighbor has a 71 4x4 3 door that I've been trying to talk away from him for 3 years now, blue with the white top/white lower section.

    4" rough country all spring lift

    I run a 4" Tuff Country EZ ride lift, #14722K for 56" rear spring on my 82 k20 plow truck, rides really nice and no sag yet with the 8' western on the front. Nowhere near as back jarring as my 8" skyjacker all spring on the 86...hate that lift. They do recommend that you run the 14725K heavy...

    What is this????

    custom heated seats for wintertime since there was so little heat to go around with a diesel without blocking the grill. ;)

    Not getting full turn to stops with 10 bolt front

    Just got done rebuilding everything in the front of my 86 K20, didn't really pay attention before, but noticed that now I am not able to turn full right or full left to the axle stop bolt. Started with wheels straight since didn't mess with the tie rods, centered the new steering box, then...

    True Trac or Spool or Detroit Locker

    Depends partly on tire size. I'm running 295/50/15's on mine with a 3500 stall and it moves the lead sled pretty damn good. I need a set of ladder bars on it to get better traction and less spring wrap, not planning on any more than that though. With your 700r4, having the 3.06 first gear gets...

    True Trac or Spool or Detroit Locker

    Changing gears would be the way to go. In my 71 GMC I went from 3.08's to 3.73 posi, almost night and day difference. I currently have a TH350 in it, driving down the highway definitely wish I had an overdrive.

    True Trac or Spool or Detroit Locker

    I run a TrueTrac in one of my hyped up Monza's with a Moser 33 spline 12 bolt, thing is awesome! It is very quite, although coasting down the road under no torque there is a slight noise that goes away soon as you load it again. When I ran on spray, I was putting about 670hp to the tires, never...

    86 and 87 grill difference

    Thanks for info guys. Problem was it's 3 hours away from me, but it gives me a chance to look at an 82 K30? single tire 1 ton that was a 6.2, minus motor now, but everything else there...4 speed, transfer, dana 60 front and 14 FF rear...it's in Sandpoint also. Only wants $1100 for truck and...

    Problem with installing new manual hubs

    I just had that same problem, mostly my fault for tapping on the end of the axles to fit through the knuckle after new u-joints. Put a mic on the splines at end of shaft and they were slightly bulged, had to use a small file to get splines back to correct diameter. Then could not get the snap...

    86 and 87 grill difference

    Found a guy with a brand new 87 grill for $40. Are there any differences between 86 and 87 dual over/under?

    Paint Booth

    Being in Everett, what is the typical outside humidity like? I did something like that before with ropes and clear plastic, duct taped the corners and got two big box fans, one as intake with a good air filter and the other as exhaust to get rid of overspray. Need a good half-mask with dual...

    Chinese Ebay Headers....

    Money better spend elsewhere. Back when I didn't make enough to afford squat, I made a savings account that I put $50 every paycheck and stopped eating out for a year. End of the year I had $2600 saved up, bought a junk yard 350 4 bolt, bottom end kit, blemish Dart heads, craigslist intake and...

    Chinese Ebay Headers....

    Oops, Green79 has it correct. I've always built 1/4 mile cars, never really bothered with trucks before, so I tend to get things crossed up. When you look at headers there are so many different things to consider like engine size, shorty headers (like the ones you are looking at), short tube...

    Another lift question

    are you talking a dually 4x4 square or rwd?

    Chinese Ebay Headers....

    Here is my take on headers. Long tube headers build a ton of power in the mid to high RPM range. They are the best option for high-rev vehicles, and track terrors. And usually, long tube headers are difficult to install. All the extra room they need inside the engine compartment may call for...

    Heater temp lever stuck

    Wasn't 72 last of the heater controls with cables and 73 first year of square body with vacuum controlled dampers? If so, I would say the problem is in actual lever in dash got something stuck in there since it's sandwiched between upper control for air direction.

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Don't know, granted, I've done some funky stuff before. Never quite understood that much butchering of a classic. This is what a pre-square should look like..my 71. One of these days, need to complete my restoration of it, lol. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

    Want to change from 37x12.50x16.5 up to 17" or 18" rims...which one to use?

    I am running Goodyear 37x12.50x16.5 on my truck right now, I want to get away from the noisy, vibrating rough ride of the bias ply's. Since any good 37" 10 ply tire doesn't come in 16.5 that I can find, need to move up to 17" or 18", don't really like the look of any larger rim than that, don't...

    Engine bay clean up

    Are those rubber hoses diving over the pass side of the motor the tranny cooler lines? If so, replace with factory metal lines, less busy up top that way. Also, if your chucking the a/c, gut the condenser and stuff out, but keep everything inside the truck. Shave off the face of the firewall...
