    Confirmed wiring issue, engine won't crank over

    @Justins truck, no, I didn't separate those. I guess I didn't even know you could separate the junction block. I'll have to look up how to do that. I agree, it almost seems as though there is something wrong with that. Any pointers on how it removes? Mine is dirty, but it doesn't look damaged in...

    Confirmed wiring issue, engine won't crank over

    If that fusable link you're referencing was bad, would I have power all the way up to the firewall? Sounds to me like it would kill the power right there by the starter, and I wouldn't be getting 12V up to my power block, or to the plug going into the firewall. I do believe that part of the...

    Confirmed wiring issue, engine won't crank over

    Hi all. This is a confirmed wiring issue. Long story short (if you want the long version, check out my build thread) I installed the battery in my truck, and wired everything up where I "think" it should go. I am not 100% positive, because there are some spliced wires, cut wires, and overall...

    Anyone dealt with LMC Trucks for parts?

    I've ordered from them probably 4-6 times in the past year. Just placed an order yesterday, and never had to do that. Maybe it's the total on the order? Question, why order exhaust from LMC? One could get a factory style replacement muffler, and then have a local shop build the exhaust for...

    How to pick the correct headers...

    Wow guys. Thanks for the words of wisdom, and the great pictures. This definitely helps me out, and gives me a couple of choices the way I see it. If anyone else would like to post their pictures and/or brand of header and how they fit, be my guest. I'll update this post when I decide, and post...

    Sorry' SBC (wee oh five). Bextreme04 & Bucket, thanks. Those descriptions are helpful.

    How to pick the correct headers...

    yep, will do. Anyone have picture of their long tubes from the bottom / side of the truck? Post the picture, and what headers you have if possible. I'd like to see how low they hang below the truck.

    How to pick the correct headers...

    I'm getting to the point where I'm just about ready to attach the trans back to the engine, and stab it back into the truck. I don't want to put the stock manifolds back on, so that leaves me with the endless choice of headers. I'll be honest, this isn't a show truck, and the engine is painted...

    Rear shock brackets

    I would think something as simple as a shock mount could just be made pretty easily out of stock steel, but maybe getting the axle tube circumference just right is an issue?

    BC’s boat/dumpster fire thread

    Get the engine running first. Looks like it should run without much fuss. Then polish that hull up. I have polished a lot of boats (ski and pontoons) and it isn’t a lot different than a car. Just use the right product and take your time. I would start off with Meguiars 105 polish / compound from...

    TH350 Pedal Mounted Detent Cable??

    Not what you asked, but if you're updating the engine, why keep the TH350 (other than cost savings)?

    Omg dude - get real!

    I just saw a few ragged out K20's for sale on the local CL for $6,500 to $9k. Crazy high IMO. I'm just glad I'm not in the market to buy right now.

    Trailer tires

    I just purchased 8 of the 10 ply "rated" E weight range, Carlisle tires earlier this spring for my camper and boat (with spares). I had 2 china bomb tires blow on my boat last year within 5 days of one another. Only 2 years old, less than 2,000 miles. I don't want to chance a blowout on the...

    I Think I Have An Addiction...

    You guys all have me beat! I have my '15 Silverado I driver for work / daily. And my '82 GMC (Daisy) I'm rebuilding on this site. That's it for on road vehicles. I do have a boat and camper for toys as well, but I'm definitely lacking in my on road vehicles / yard art when compared to you...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed front brake pads, calipers, and hoses. Then spun the truck around to remove the bed. Time to clean up the back half of the frame, and tackle the rear dif fluid change and brakes.

    Quadrajet idle screws question

    Yea, I had planned on removing them all the way (counting the turns to be safe) and using the linked video in the Quadrajet rebuild thread to dial it in initially before install. Then finish dialing it in after its on the truck. Cool, well it sounds like I have some options. I appreciate the...

    Quadrajet idle screws question

    Well, too late to get them when I get my rebuild kit (already have that, and referencing which new gasket matches old as I remove them). I appreciate the help there with the link. That link brings me to the 79& later screw replacements (I've got an '82, but not sure if it's original). The...

    Quadrajet idle screws question

    I'm in the process of rebuilding my quadrajet carb, and during the disassembly phase, I'm ready to remove the idle screws. However, I'm not sure how here... These don't appear to be a screw that can be removed with a normal screw driver. See the picture of the diagram. It looks like maybe there...

    New skin's for the duramax

    I think it looks bad ass either way. I'm biased though.. I got big rimz with aggressive tires.

    So Does Everyone HATE This Steering Wheel?

    I don't necessarily hate the factory steering wheel, but in my case, the original is a POS for sure. Missing the center button, torn up around the edges with chunks missing, etc. Add to that the fact that I don't love the looks of them, and they do seem a bit big (maybe fine if you don't have...

    Tires?

    Plenty of American Name tires out there. Search on Tire Rack.com and see what is available in that size. Go from there to decide what you want to pay, and what you can get at your local shop.

    Better master cylinder?

    I don't know that a different / bigger / better master brake cylinder is going to solver your problem. Or at least, it may not be the easiest way to solve it. What do you have for brakes now? I mean, pad material? I'm a FIRM believer in ceramic pads, but they have to be bedded correctly to get...
