    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I’ve got several wrenches that were my grandpa’s, they’re worn smooth. My father who is 88 has a bunch of them also, I’ll probably be going through them this summer. I don’t use them, they just reside in a drawer of my tool box.

    Precision windshield gasket, self locking or lock strip?

    I have a guy who has done glass for me for several years but it seems he’s got family issues and can’t get back to me. I’ll at least get the seals in, I did trim and smooth up both front & rear pinch welds, and the dash and headliner haven’t been installed yet either. I’ve got word out I need...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    When I was a kid my grandpa was a truck driver, those tire and Mack Bull dog ash trays were in his home. Don’t know what ever happened to them.

    Early 4.3 upgrade?

    Wow! Great info here I never knew about the 4.3. I remember way back when it first came out in the S10 trucks. It was supposedly a V8 with two less cylinders design. That engine was a tire burner in those little trucks.

    Precision windshield gasket, self locking or lock strip?

    Yes, I’ve been on their site and spoke with them on the phone… just wanted some input from someone that wasn’t an actual “Glass” installation guy. :) It looks like I’ll be doing this my self, ordered the lock strip seal.

    Which aftermarket LED headlights?

    Mine are the round 7”, so I bought some really cheap ones off of Amazon just to get the front end mocked up while reassembling the entire truck. They don’t look bad. I’ll probably install the RMS units eventually once I start driving it.

    Precision windshield gasket, self locking or lock strip?

    The Precision website shows two types of gaskets, self locking or lock strip. I’m familiar with the lock strip, though I haven’t installed one in decades. Anyone use the self locking gasket? If so how did it install?

    Stock fuel pump has a vent line. Edelbrock don’t.

    This is a Napa Gold fuel pump. Notice the return line restriction, I can’t say I’ve ever noticed this before.

    Starter Solenoid

    Check the Neutral safety switch, top of the steering column right at the fire wall.

    Whats your opinion these welders?

    Just my opinion but I’d spend the money for a Miller or Lincoln product. They will cost more but are worth it. The Millermatic 200 would be my pick.

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    Mines the older style. I used a universal cable on both sides of the rear with the factory mounts. I adapted them to fit the factory clamp on the backing plate after cutting them to length.

    LED Shop Lights That Last??

    I switched all my 8’ fluorescent fixtures in my shop to 8’ Lithonia LED fixtures. They weren’t cheap, but something that will last never is.. I’ve got a basement full of 4’ fluorescent fixtures that will be next.

    Fuel tank straps

    Those new tank straps can be a real pain, I had to use a ratchet strap to get mine to conform so the nuts could be started. I would try to do one strap at a time without dropping the tank first.

    How to rehab a window regulator manual or power

    An old thread….. The lack of lube will cause the small spline for the crank handle to fail, making the whole unit junk.

    Fresh Air vents with factory A/C?

    There is no drivers vent in that era of trucks, no hole, no room due to the parking brake.

    Aftermarket seatbelt mounting question.

    The ones I got from LMC had an angle bracket, it had to be drilled out to use the factory bolt. Take the belt apart and feed it through the plastic cover. Bolt both ends to the angle bracket. The bottom of the plastic cover will need to be trimmed. I need to get the right color spray for mine…
