    front end alignment

    Once you have toe set, you can straighten your steering wheel by turning both tie rod sleeves in equal amounts, in the same direction.

    Where to buy tires

    I usually buy a set of 4 tires online with every project truck I drag home. Tirebuyer.com is pretty handy; sometimes I simply google the tire size and click on the "shopping" tab and can find a deal.

    350 to 292 swap.

    While everyone is swapping LS motors and fuel injection, dropping a 6 banger in where a V8 was is pretty cool. Yes, take photos and keep us updated.

    1964 Ranchero

    When I was 18 years old my buddy's dad gave him a 1964 White Ranchero for his first vehicle. While the body was straight and clean, the engine smoked and swallowed oil in gulps. Most of the gaskets leaked, the radiator leaked, the master cylinder leaked, the transmission leaked, the power...

    1984 k10 firing issue

    It isn't uncommon to have to adjust the timing after bypassing the ESC. I would also agree with just keeping the bypass module intact. This video might help.

    LMC Doors

    I purchase parts from LMC so I am not hating on them, but I'll post this for your information. There are not the doors but their fenders. You can speed to the 2:35 mark where the owner of the truck mentions that he bought the "premium" fenders; thicker metal and a higher quality stamping. At the...

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    My cliff notes based on doing it starting 40 years ago. Pros-It sounded great. Cons-No performance gain. No gas mileage gain. Increased bugs and debris around the filter.

    Prefence for what websites/outlets you buy stuff from?

    I have used Coverlay for some interior stuff. No problems and prices were good.

    Aftermarket efi 2bbl of 4bbl?

    Having driven GM products for 40 years, I can say I have owned quite a few, some with both 2 barrels and others with 4 barrels. Just saying, a quadrajet has small primaries designed with economy in mind; part of the famous deep howl of the secondary is due to their large opening. When driven...

    Dana 60 Death Wobble

    I had one truck that had a warped rotor. It would only show itself when decelerating down a steep grade and turning at the same time. I chalked it up to the rears being slightly out of adjustment and the heavy load on one side.

    Questions about '74 All Time 4wd, HELP

    I had a 77K10 in 1987 with a short bed rusted thru a good 5" above the non existent rear wheel openings. It looked no different than a lot of the squarebody rust buckets today, and I'm from the South. Road salt is a body killer, and a poor draining design just made it even worse.

    Questions about '74 All Time 4wd, HELP

    I think the worst the guy can say to an offer of 2K is no. However, when you figure an 1100 mile round trip; the fuel costs, food and possibly a hotel while delivering the vehicle to you, it sort of whittles down the guy's take, so to speak.

    Np203 part time conversion?

    10 mpg should be the norm with an engine in tune, ie good plugs, wires, filters, carb etc. A generation or more ago, rebuilding a Qjet was second nature to a lot of folks. Now, many squarebody owners are trying to figure them out for the first time. Installing the rebuild kit was the first half...

    15X7 Rims

    235 75 R 15 was the standard size for most of the C10s and K10s if I recall. I have had 33s on 15x8s down to the 235s on 15x7s with no issue.

    Any diff between 2wd and 4wd 700r4s?

    Yes, output shafts can be swapped out. Or if you are patient, have basic tools you can rebuild one yourself. Or have it rebuilt. I would still be on the lookout anyway for a spare transmission even after you get yours on the road.

    Crazy Air Compressor Idea

    Why not just add an extra auxiliary tank to your compressor? Not knocking your idea. I added a 30 gallon air tank to my existing 30 gallon compressor and it does everything I need it to.

    Oil leaks

    X2 on the die and cleaning. Start from the beginning. Pick up the die and degreaser and head to the car wash. The motor will be good and hot. Degrease the engine and wash it off. By the time you get home the motor will be dry. Add the die. If it is a slow leak, let the motor idle over a section...

    Advice for rebuilding a 350 on a budget

    I agree. My 6.0 late model Silverado should give me 300-400k with regular maintenance. However, technologies, oils, fuels, etc have evolved since then, and while I don't expect to pull 200k out of my gen 1 small blocks, they can be built today to last a lot longer before the blue ghost starts...

    Advice for rebuilding a 350 on a budget

    You can find new heads complete online for $500 or so; less than the cost of reworking those double humpers. I had a 77 K10 with no motor. I also had a 79 Bonanza parts truck with a decent 305. Rebuild kit (gaskets rings pistons etc) from ebay was about $350. Put a $100 cam in with just a little...

    Fool me once…..

    Hindsight is a b with expectations vs results. Knowing the shop was new, it may have been a good idea to take some pics of what you expected the finished product to look like. I know you said you wanted it to look clean, but it sounds (and looks) like a misunderstanding.
